We were very happy to still get served at such a late hour and while there was no owner on site, we did have a lovely chef take care of us. We had the bobotie special which my husband claimed was the second best he had ever had and my pork chop, with grilled apple and sesame dressed veg, was both succulent and sweet. And for those of you who love a cat, lots of ornaments, books paintings to keep you occupied while your food is being cooked!

South African soul food, felt like our meals came from a friend’s kitchen. Carol came by a few times to chat and check up on us. Would highly recommend Readers (and their wine list is also super). Great hospitality and would definitely return. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: R 300–350 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
