BEST FOR Fresh, wholesome broths. FOOD Blink and you could miss this beautiful culinary gem that’s spooning up some of the best broths in Cape Town. The signature clear broth packs a punch: crunchy julienned carrot, smoky paprika chorizo, tender chicken and the sweet, light sting of spring onion. The brown broth with venison, lentils, flaked almonds, zucchini and Turkish apricots is brilliant. If you’re vegan (or even if you're not), the white broth is wonderful, with a vegetable base made with coconut milk, miso and lemongrass, and it’s served with roasted aubergine, tofu, turnip and basil dressing. DRINKS Though not large, the drinks menu is definitely interestin­g. Truly unusual options include the house-made plum shrub, the Aceso fire tonic health shot, and the pineapple shrub cordial. SERVICE Order and pay at the counter and your meal is brought to you. AMBIENCE Small, cosy and comfortabl­e. The simplistic trend runs through the restaurant, with a long wooden counter and little stools. (JT)
