“Do you ever look at a menu and find yourself drooling as your taste buds with the aide of your mind fantasize over the impending foodgasm you’ve already envisioned? And when your meal arrives it’s way more than what your mortal palate deserves. Such was our experience. Tried some craft beer as a sun downer (spoilt for choice) ended up having what seemed to be the locals favourite Steph Weiss and my wife had the Koppaberg strawberry cider. Ocean jewels (half shelled mussels wrapped in bacon) and Roquefort snails were our starters. (I did pinch my wifes mussels being the gluttonous oaf that I am.) For mains I had Prawn and Roasted Garlic Pasta and my wife opted for the Thai Beef Salad which we washed down with an excellent bottle of white wine from a very good selection at awesomely reasonable prices.
All in all I was impressed with the overall place. I mean for such a Jewel to be Hidden just outside a small town is a shame. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu and the chalets.”
