My worst foods were prepared in such a manner that I wondered why they aren 't a feature on my grocery list. For example: the too often lifeless/limp bok choi that accompanies most Asian dishes was part of a beautiful symphony including succulent duck breast with miso aubergine pancakes and ginger jus.<br/ <br/ My mom 's oxtail was stuffed in this pastry with a 'Goldilocks ' texture: not too flaky, not too soft... just right. The brocolli on her plate prepared in 3 different ways was worth applause. I actually wanted to clap my hands and say bravo! <br/ <br/ And we made so many impolite moans of enjoyment as we ate our dessert I commend the staff for politely sending us off with warm smiles instead of judging our lack of inhibition! <br/ <br/ The interior decor is rightfully minimalistic as it lends itself to focusing on the outside view. The landscape artist has enhanced the already magnificent natural environment with a garden that cemented our feelings of contentment.<br/ <br/ The restaurant at Cavalli is definitely one of the best in Cape Town.
