Restaurant: River Way, Hout Bay

After reading a number of reviews of this new restaurant at Mainstream Mall in Hout Bay, Mark and I decided to go and check it out. The décor is elegant vintage chic, something I quite like. 

 

 

FOOD: the menu is not huge, but I prefer not having to choose from a massive menu. Rather focus on a couple of things really well instead of doing a lot of things averagely.

They have a lovely counter filled with baked goodies, but we were there for lunch, so had to eat something more responsible. Will definitely to go back for cake and tea at some point.

We opted for baguettes served with fries. Huge portions. I opted for the pulled pork belly with cabbage, and slices of apple. When I saw Mark's, beef, shavings of cheese (not sure what else) I knew he had ordered the winner for the day. His looked delicious. Mine was OK, it was a bit too spicy with too much cumin for my own personal liking. The fries were really tasty.
 

Mine, pulled pork belly baguette

 



Mark's beef baguette (looked divine!)



DRINKS - Mark had a coffee which he says was very tasty. I opted for a chocolate milkshake. I love the glass container it was served in. If was also delicious.

 

 

SERVICE - really sweet lady served us. The owner was also there and wanted to get me something else to eat for lunch because I was not loving my sandwich, but as I told her it would not be necessary as there was nothing wrong with it, it was not their fault I don't like cumin 

 

VALUE FOR MONEY - very reasonable. Mark's was R79 mine R72, good value for the amount of food you get.

PARKING VALUE - it is at Mainstream Mall so there is ample parking. 

 

RECOMMENDABLE - yes, will go back. 8/10
