La Colombe

WOW! WOW! WOW!<br/ <br/ I’m a local Capie and this is my 3rd time here. Bravo<br/ <br/ Of course a little pricey for most but you should try visit La Colombe at least once a year.

Amazingly delicious!! Super creative and inventive dishes delivered in a beautiful restaurant by friendly people. If you can splurge a little.. you can definitely splurge it here, you won’t regret it.

The food was a brilliant fusion of sublime tastes and visual stimulation . Both flavors and presentation were on point ! The wines were sumptuous and superbly paired with their respective dishes. Service was excellent both the waitstaff and sommelier were informative friendly and attentive . I felt the bland decorative style of the restaurant with average round tables did detract from the overall experience. All in all a wonderful and highly recommended spot!

Honestly some of the best food I have tasted in my life. <br/ <br/ We had the tuna can which was amazing and the rest of the set menu which is perfectly flavored. There are also good non meat options so everyone will be satisfied. The dessert is beyond amazing-served on a tree bark with macaroons and candy floss to name a few. <br/ <br/ The staff are well trained and friendly and are more than willing to assist.

I was so excited to come to La Colombe for lunch. We brought an overseas friend to lunch and decided La Colombe would be the right choice. Upon arrival, we greeted by the hostess and offered something to clear our palates. They had charming white chocolate egg with a citrus fruit juice inside. The chocolate eggs were nestled amongst branches of a beautiful display of foliage. Needless to say, if this was the introduction, we were in for a fabulous food journey.<br/      We were shown our seats, perused the drinking menu and chose Groot Constantia 2017 Pinotage. What a smooth, delightful wine! We then chose which menu we would choose, the Spring Menu or the Chef 's Menu. I liked both but I felt the Chef 's Menu would be a bit too much to eat for lunch, so Spring Menu it was. We all chose that menu. <br/      Our menu began with MARLIN TATAKI, BURNT LIME LAMB ROTI. 7 courses of delectable delights. I 'm in trouble! Out came this exquisite forest with the MARLIN TATAKI/BURNT LIME and the LAMB ROTI was petite and presented in a rock carved out. It was delicately displayed and the aromas were tantalizing to the senses. The amazing waiter who served the food and explained the process of how you should eat the food and it was helpful. I wish there was smell-a-vision with pictures. It was mind-blowing.  <br/      We then followed up with SWEET POTATO BREAD WITH WAYGU DRIPPINGS/OXTAIL I had crumbs of the bread all over the table. It was worth it! So good is an understatement. Beautiful, art, chefiness at it 's finest. OH man. We then had a blind tasting of TUNA 'LA COLOMBE. ' It is crazy how the chef is able to beautiful balance the freshest ingredients which are artfully paired and arranged, nestled within a can with ingredients listed on one side and the 'La Colombe ' on the front of the label. As you open your can, the smell wafts into the air, causing you to salivate. It was playful, and truly an experience that was interactive. So many highlights and not a single disappointment was to be had!! Every single course was an explosion of flavor, mouth-watering aromas to tantalize the taste buds, a true feast of the eyes and senses.<br/ <br/ I could go on but rather make a booking. Go there. You won 't be disappointed. Our waitress, Marion was a delight! She made our experience sublime! Just know that this is on the pricy side BUT it 's worth every single paper money spent! This is eating for the art of food, not just eat and fill your tummy.
