Looking ahead to Friday, Pretoria is expected to have a really cold day, with a maximum temperature of around 14 degrees Celsius. BRRRR, and we plan to cook accordingly… these are our delicious offers for 5 and 6 June 2026:

⁠CHICKEN TAGINE WITH EGGPLANT PUREE (pictured)
Tagine is a classic North African dish in which meat and vegetables are braised in a gently spiced sauce in an earthenware pot with a conical lid, ensuring a famously tender and deeply flavourful meal.

Reheat chicken R280, serves 2

⁠TRADITIONAL FISH BOBOTIE PIE
We prepared a popular fish bobotie for years in Menlo Park and recently received many requests for it. This version of the traditional Cape dish is prepared with flaky white fish and all the spices that made bobotie famous, along with the obligatory raisins and apricot jam. We chose a cream cheese pastry topped with lemon zest and flaked almonds for this version. Reheat R330, serves 4
