What’s Hot The Clubhouse Winter Menu

The Clubhouse Salt & Pepper Calamari

My hubby and I were recently invited to enjoy The Clubhouse Winter Menu, we have never eaten at The Clubhouse before, so I was really keen to give it a try! I picked a Friday evening when we were in fact “childless”, so it ended up being an impromptu date night!

The Clubhouse Interior

The Clubhouse is situated at the Claremont Cricket Club in Constantia, with views of the stunning Constantia Valley and Table Mountain. They are open for lunch and dinner Tuesday-Saturday 12:00-23:00 and Sunday 12:00-18:00. The restaurant prides themselves on being family-friendly, in fact children under 12 eat for free on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4-7 pm!

The Clubhouse-Winter-Menu

The Cluhouse interior is light and bright, with casual relaxed decor, which makes it the perfect place to unwind and have a chilled dinner. The fireplace is the perfect place to warm up and get cozy, so remember to request a table close by. This is especially perfect during these cold winter months!

The Clubhouse Salt & Pepper Calamari

After perusing the rather extensive menu, we decided to start off with Smoked Paprika Prawns and Salt and Pepper Baby Calamari with a Paprika and Lemon Mayo – my favourite was definitely the Salt and pepper baby calamari. I did not dislike the prawns but felt they were a bit overpowered by the tomato based sauce. 

The Clubhouse Slow Roasted Lamb Shank

It was a rather cold winters evening, so I simply had to try the Slow roasted lamb shank in a red wine sauce with carrots, celery and garlic! It was rather delicious but be warned it it is a huge meal!

The Clubhouse Beef Fillet

My hubby had the Beef Fillet served on garlic mash, with a side of sauteed spinach and a pepper sauce. The fillet was equally delicious and in my hubby’s words “the best steak I have had in a long time!”

The Clubhouse Sticky Toffee Pudding

We were both quite stuffed after the meal but could not resist the rather decadent sounding Sticky Toffee Pudding with dates and pecan nuts, served with clotted cream, which just happens to be one of my favourite winter deserts!

The Clubhouse Double Espresso

No evening meal would be complete with out a coffee and The Clubhouse did not disappoint – their double espresso was wonderfully strong and aromatic!

We really enjoyed our meal at the Clubhouse the food and service were both great! They also have extensive wine list and a separate kids menu. The main menu caters for the not so hungry, with light meals and salads on offer, as well as pizza’s and a great selections of starters and main’s. I found the menu well priced, with pizza’s ranging from R65 to a Fillet steak at R130.

I would recommend The Clubhouse, especially for family dining and I know we will definitely be heading back with our girls – I am really keen to try their delicious looking pizza’s!

Child friendly restaurants in Cape Town

Child friendly restaurants in Cape Town

By Dalene Ingham-Brown

Not Spur AGAIN! There are plenty of places in Cape Town that are willing to give your bambino crayons, a balloon and energy sucking jungle gym. It’s about time you give yourself a break from those easy-to-clean brown pleather seats and see how it’s done at other child friendly restaurants in Cape Town.

Primi Pods

Primi Piatti – Primi Pods rocks the socks off of family restaurants. Interactive, colourful, educational – the perfect docking station for your kids. The Primi Pods section can be recognised by its bold splash of colours and the mosaic counter in front of a pizza station. Primi has caregivers on hand to teach your kids how to make pizzas and how to bake biscuits while you settle down to a glass of red and browse the extensive, mouth-watering menu. What’s nice about the Primi Pods section is that it is in plain view of the rest of the child friendly restaurant so you can keep a loving eye on your kids if you want to.

Primi Piatti outlets that have Primi Pods sections can be found in Constantia, Cavendish, Sea Point, Camps Bay, V&A Waterfront, Canal Walk, Somerset West, and Willowbridge Table View. To sweeten the deal even further they often has great specials – check out the latest Primi Piatti specials here.

Scallywags Play Café

You’re hungry and little Johnny is bored and can’t sit still. Time for Scallywags Play Café! This café is one of the best child friendly restaurants in Cape Town because it is an absolute fantasy play land for children and their menu options are all made from organic and free-range products. Family dining with a conscience.

Scallywags has so much to offer children: trains that smoke, a beautiful life-size gingerbread house, climbing walls, baby-pen, boys corner, dress-ups, jumping castle, ball pool and slide. They even have flying butterflies and dragon flies with glitter fairies for the girls, and for the boys, spiders and spider webs.

While little Johnny gets rid of some of his energy (please, oh, please) you can sit down and browse the menu at this family friendly restaurant in Cape Town – Rosmead Avenue, Kenilworth. Finally a break.

Moyo

What a great family outing. It’s hard to say whether you or your child will end up enjoying the experience more. Moyo in Spier is an elegant child friendly restaurant in Cape Town with a spicy African flair. Interactive activities like face painting, hand washing and traditional dance entertainment makes for a truly enjoyable evening for the whole family. Moyo has large, open spaces, gorgeous pathways and gets its cosy atmosphere from the enormous trees, interesting artistic structures and the winding pathways flanked by greenery. Book a table in the tree-tops and enjoy a fun family outing that fills the gap.

Deer Park Café

Described as comfy and casual, this family friendly restaurant in Cape Town, Vredehoek, serves breakfasts, lunches and light meals. Its appeal is that it is situated right next to a fenced off child friendly park, so you don’t have to worry about your child running off, although keeping half an eye on them is always recommended and inevitable from a caring parent.

The menu is super child friendly with fun options like a ‘baby cappuccino’ which is frothed milk with sprinkles on top. Heaven only knows that the last thing your child needs is caffeine!

La Cabane

La Cabane in Hout Bay is a restaurant, tea room and playground. The restaurant gives off a home-style family atmosphere, the team room is much the same and the playground is a monster fort of excitement for anyone not-tall-enough-to-ride-this-ride. Children love it!

La Cabane wanted to make sure that their family friendly restaurant in Cape Town was a place where parents and children can both enjoy themselves to the nth degree. With 4 state of the art 40″ LCD televisions, moms and dads can enjoy watching rugby/tennis, sipping on a brewsky/tea while the kids let their imaginations run wild in the La Cabane playground.

Joostenberg

Country style cooking and large open spaces for kids to play. This family friendly restaurant in Cape Town is situated off the N1 in Muldersvlei. In winter, the huge fireplace roars with life and warms little bodies while they eat. In summer, the shaded stoep provides a lovely spot for an afternoon meal.

Kids can enjoy horse and wagon rides, or a ride on a pony. There is also a large jungle gym and stretches of lawn where children can happily play while parents enjoy a hearty meal.

Blue Water Café

This family friendly restaurant is nestled in Kommetjie’s super child friendly Imhoff Farm. Make sure you arrive half an hour before you plan to eat as you’re met by CO2 emitting camels waiting to be ridden on the way into Imhoff Farm. Kids will also love the Higgeldy Piggeldy Farm right next door to Blue Water Café, where friendly rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, guinea pigs and a pony are waiting to meet them. There is also a snake park within Imhoff – worth a visit if your children are eager to see slithering reptiles in a safe environment.

When it’s time to eat, your family can sit down to the freshest ingredients; the chef whips up New Cape style food and scrumptious pizzas baked in a wood fired oven. When it’s time to play, your kids can run around the safe, enclosed garden and jungle gym. A great excursion for the whole family.

With these child friendly restaurants in Cape Town you can enjoy good quality food, a lovely setting and a dose of relaxation knowing that while your child is not at the table, the manager isn’t giving them an espresso and a free kitten.

Top Sushi Spots in Cape Town

Even though winter is on our doorstep, it does not deter me from craving sushi. It is one of my favourite foods to eat and I love nothing better than an indulgent night out with sushi and bubbly or a chilled Sauvignon Blanc! With this in mind I thought I would share my Top Sushi Spots in Cape Town and a few recommended by you, my readers.

Sushi

  • Willoughby & Co

This is by far my favourite sushi spot and although it is situated inside the V&A shopping centre, the sushi is worth the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. Actually we always do a bit of shopping first and then relax and unwind with the aid of delicious sushi and great wine. To view or download their sushi menu click here.

  • Village Sushi @ De Noordhoek Hotel

Imagine my surprise when a reader recommended a sushi spot right on my doorstep! The Hotel has been around for a while but the sushi is a new addition to their menu. We decided to make this our Mother’s Day lunch venue and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. One of the great aspects of the sushi menu is they offer a 12/20 piece sushi platter, which you can design yourself, this is great if you prefer either a certain type of sushi roll or a particular type of fish. To view or download their sushi menu click here.
