Sublime salad at Lime Tree Cafe

Lime Tree Café in Dreyersdal Rd, Bergvliet, never fails to please the palate. Somehow there is always a reason to pop in when in the area, either for a late breakfast or early lunch. savouring his dishes that focus on flavour, flavour, flavour. There may be some dishes without the searing heat of chilli and ginger, but as one who enjoys food with a bite, I have not tried them. For those with a cast iron constitution, the firecracker burger is for you.
Breakfast dishes include a powerful shakshuka that will kickstart the metabolism, and for the less adventurous palate, the eggs benedict with the Lime Tree twist are a perfect start to the day. On cooler days, the chicken and prawn curry is my choice, but for the ultimate in sublime salads, try the roast chicken salad - a mixture of tender chicken, quinoa and salad ingredients that tantalise the tastebuds and provide all the textures required for a satisfying culinary experience.
The sweet side of the menu caters for those who enjoy cakes and specialist confectionery, but I try to avoid these, although I am sure you will not be disappointed in any of the items on offer!
Pricing is excellent for the quality and quantity of the portions, and the steady flow of clientele is testimony to the consistency of this highly recommended eatery. Casual and rustic, spur of the moment satisfaction. Location: Sherwood Centre, Dreyersdal Rd, Bergvliet (Cape Town).

New reviews in the offing

After some years of being side-tracked by the more unexciting aspects of life, I find myself getting out more and more into the world of those unencumbered by work i.e. the retired and tourists. Such outings inevitably mean lunch at a range of places from local coffee shops to upmarket wineries, with the plethora of offerings in between. We are so spoiled for choice that there is no excuse to ever eat twice at a place that is less than above average and we also don't have to break the bank to have a really enjoyable experience. Sometimes our choices are limited by distances and times of day, not just budget, and it is always helpful to get an idea of other views on a restaurant that we have not tried out before.
I hope that the forthcoming blogs will help fill that gap and that you may even follow me! 😄
