Rossouws Restaurants

Socialites and business brights hang here, and it looks like the business from the outside with its Veuve branding. Surprisingly worn and tatty inside, the menu offers a concise selection of cafe food like salads, prego, a burger, fillet in a few variations, chicken peri-peri. Prices are bumped for the offering but no-one seems to mind, and the quality is very reliable, fresh and comforting. They make crumbed olives which are fantastic as a starter, and salads are dressed which makes a pleasant change (why do people pay R40-odd for a bunch of leaves with no-one’s intervention as to the flavour?). I was caught out wanting the chicken peri-peri only to find that this had a 45 minute lead time - why? I guess that means its fresh and all, but… warn me on the menu perhaps? So I had the fillet Suzette which was dandy and came with fantastic chips. Winelist is small and not great, though they do have some unusual international picks.
