La Muse - Cape Town

Love the buy 1 get one free on Friday evenings between 6pm-7pm. The food was delish. Decent portions for a big guy.

The photos of the food online and what is served is two completely different things. It almost felt that I ate frozen packed veggies with every meal. Definitely a major disappointment.

I wanted to make this a very special dinner as my daughter visited briefly from overseas. We were a group of 5. What a big disappointment! Food was frozen seafood cold and tasteless, veg was mushy, cocktails a disaster. Ordered malva pudding and was served something that looked like yellow goo which we returned. The vegan in the group had potato chips as they had nothing on the menu. Was promised a call back from the Manager and am still waiting. Don't go there if you're looking for a nice dinner.

If you want to have a nice hot, well seasoned plate of food then dont waste your time going to this place. we got there and had to wait 40 minutes whilst our food was waiting on the pass, my boyfriend was not offered cutlery (the table wasnt set well, but i wont go into this), when the starter finally came (prawn and escargot) it lacked salt (such a basic expectation) and it was cold, chewy and just unpleasant. i asked the witer to take it back for me and he never returned (LOL), instead, he brought our overdone steaks that had really nice mushroom on the side but the steak was chewy and (as you may have guessed by now.. LACKED SALT!!!! Anyway, we asked for the manager because we didnt want to have anything to do with the place any longer and we were told he was not around, the chef came to try and persuade us to have our dessert BUT HOW WHEN WE HADN'T HAD STARTERS OR MAINS (SMH). Anyways, the chef told us the manager was unavailable, then he told us the manager had said we should come back for a meal on the house THEN (you wont believe this) HE TOLD US HE WAS IN FACT THE....MANAGER!!! All this happened in a restaurant with 11 people, they were failing to serve ELEVEN PEOPLE!!!! Anyways, long story short, unless you have about 5 hours to kill and a truckload of patience, do not waste your time going to this place. Oh, we were not even offered anything to drink then had to pay for the prawns and snails that we had not eaten even half of SIIIIIIIIGH). okay, well, that was my experience. PS: Rated 1 star because i cant post with no stars so...

Upon arriving at this restaurant, we were immediately impressed by its exterior appearance, and the interior did not disappoint. The venue was clean, neat, and simply decorated. We had made a reservation and spoke with a person named Marko, who mentioned that he was one of the managers. Unfortunately, he did not list us as guests on the night of our visit. Despite this oversight, we were grateful for the very accommodating waitress who served us, as they were busy. The restaurant only serves Vergenoegd wines, which we happen to love and are familiar with from our visits to Vergenoegd Wine Estate. The Escargot Prawn combination in a Thai green sauce was delicious, and the Filet of Mignon was nicely prepared with vegetables. The Pork belly was succulent and scrumptious. We highly recommend it. For dessert, we tried the Fresh fruit 'Sabayon,' a fruit salad heated in white champagne with an egg yolk topping. Although different, we felt that fruit salad is best enjoyed with ice cream. The restaurant is situated in a quiet square with a lovely tree-filled garden and unique metal decorations. It presents an impressive picture at night. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here and plan to return in the future.
