“Today’s menu was specifically prepared to complement the craft beers, gin, whisky and rum,” said senior chef Conrad Siebrits.

The menu comprised freshly baked bread, a salad bar and a variety of meats such as braised brisket and pork belly prepared in open fires.

The restaurant is tucked away in the lush indigenous gardens, giving guests an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of nature.

“It is a perfect place to spend Father’s day because the environment is relaxing. We left our two kids to come and enjoy the crafts that the festival has to offer,” said Wouter Potgieter.

Those who missed out can experience the nice vibe that the restaurant has to offer by attending the Symphony Orchestra in the Gardens on Sunday, 24 June and Bastille day on 14 July.
