    We loved the short lunch menu and basically ordered every dish. Everything was well thought out, all the components worked perfectly together, and the cocktails are delicious too. Our favourites were the Tomato, Beets and Bread course! I wish everyone could give Terrarium a try - they are truly so flavourful and unique. We will definitely return for a different season. :)

    This is probably the best restaurant we have been to in South Africa. The setting is nice, not very special, but the food and wine pairing is truly amazing. And then there is the service: the staff in general, the sommelier and especially our host Allan Bernard Vheremu were extremely knowledgeable and very nice people. I believe this will be one of the best restaurants, if not the best, of V&A in a few years!

    All eight courses on the 'Fauna'' degustation menu were fantastic. My wife and I were delighted by the servers and the attention to detail made the experience one to remember.
