Rossouws Restaurants

“The Greek Spur” was the sum of it. Great setting (if you’re a smoker) with a balcony hanging over Mandela Square, the monstrous caricature of him right there. Otherwise the interior is shot with a pretty non-food blue with plain seating. The service is very good, friendly and fast. The food comes out alarmingly fast, and it’s presented with no flair. Specials, strangely, were chicken curry and eisbein, but we tried the mezze platter and the Greek lamb. The food is basic, some of it poor, and the prices are not shy. There is better Greek to be had at Plaka in Illovo and I have yet to try Balconi. If anyone has other must-see Greek places, please comment.
