发明餐厅的卢克·戴尔·罗伯茨（Luke Dale-Roberts）（目前是世界上第22位）测试厨房继续他的最新努力，继续他对开普敦的食品和饮料现场的统治Shortmarket俱乐部。与妻子桑达琳·戴尔·罗伯茨（Sandalene Dale-Roberts），韦斯利·兰德斯（Wesley Randles）（Testley Kitchen的厨师，Potluck Club和La Colombe）和经理Simon Widdison合作，新场地为原本折衷的Bree Street地区增添了精致。
开放式厨房通过醒目的楼梯进入一楼的餐厅，吸引了您的眼睛。在酒吧区包围着，这是预先餐饮前的tipple的理想场所，看着厨师们准备好晚上。Sandalene Dale-Roberts设计了该空间 - 使人联想到独家成员俱乐部的重量氛围 - 广泛使用皮革和木材，黑色和深绿色的Aubergine颜色和彩色玻璃。彼得·伊斯特曼（Peter Eastman）是一位过去的艺术家，他在Test Kitchen和The Pot Luck Club上为装饰元素做出了贡献，在Shortmarket Club上展出。艺术家马克·劳登巴赫（Mark Rautenbach）概念化的一堵墙蝴蝶也一样，他的作品也可以在戴尔·罗伯茨（Dale-Roberts）的旗舰餐厅（Dale-Roberts's Flagship Restaurant）看到。
Randles has created a menu with an opulent old-world feel, modern interpretations of classic dishes designed to encourage diners to ‘linger, have fun and turn lunch into drinks at the bar’ — and if all that wasn’t enough in itself, the barbecue section (or braai if you’re South African) will be turning out tomahawk steaks, ribeye, fillets and the mouth-watering likes of crayfish with smoked sweetcorn.
Drenched in vintage glamour and with a kitchen whose pedigree is beyond question, Luke Dale-Roberts has scored big again with his latest venture: ‘the restaurant is unique in its design,’ he concludes, ‘it’s a place to relax and really lap up the feeling of luxury that surrounds you — and the delicious food, of course.’
