Rossouws Restaurants

They do it well, the big restaurant, with a Portuguese theme. It’s comfortable, it’s big. The service is hard-working but a little hard-pressed and formulaic to be honestly good. The food is decent for the scope of the operation, only let down in little detail like the boiled potato that went with the sardines. The Portuguese platter was good, chorizo, trinchado steak, calamari and clams all tasty (and better than the main order of trinchado later). The prawns are tasty, the seafood salad even has oyster - so in all it delivers, but just not in the sense of intimacy or real care. It’s just too big. So I would happily take groups there if I had to, or corporate tables, but I would be unlikely to want to eat one-on-one. This is the result of an operator that knows the game, and has upscaled.
