CIRCUS CIRCUS

BEST FOR A quality meal in between your mall maneouvres. FOOD The focus is on local, seasonal and fresh produce, and the hearty dishes brim with comfort. Choose from starters such as the creamy Cape Malay mussel pot and peri-peri chicken livers. On the mains front, the oxtail in red wine is a go-to dish, as is the three-hour lamb shank with rosemary and red wine. For a taste from further afield, the Barbadian chicken – grilled chicken breast marinated in garlic, ginger and fresh red chilli, and served with avocado and pineapple salsa – is delicious. There are burgers, pasta and seafood, but also fresh, tasty salads, quesadillas, wraps and toasted sandwiches if you want to go light.

For dessert, the molten chocolate pudding goes down well. DRINKS A selection of South African wines, freshly squeezed juices and decadent smoothies. SERVICE Relatively efficient and friendly. AMBIENCE The interior boasts warm contemporary décor with vintage undertones. (KMO)
