Butcher Block Umhlanga

The team decided to visit the restaurant for dinner recently. Set in the Holiday Inn Express in Umhlanga just off Umhlanga Rocks Drive allows for plenty of parking for guests visiting the restaurant who are not staying in the hotel. The restaurant has a sister situated in Crowne Plaza Johannesburg, Rosebank. The Umhlanga restaurant is large and spacious with a warm ambience. It has a modern and clean design and caters for a more upmarket meal, family meal or a quick bite to eat. We found the staff to be warm friendly and attentive. They have a good wine selection for those with a discerning palette. Well known for its main feature on the menu of steak, the group was founded in 2003 as a steakhouse. The menu is full and varied with a great range of starters from chicken livers to the well-known favourite prawn cocktail through to soup; SA stock of boerewors, Mozambican strips chicken or beef, mussels and mushrooms. The full range of steak types, fillet, rump, sirloin, T-Bone and prime rib are all on offer with various cuts and basted to perfection. Chicken, fish, prawns, calamari, lamb shank, curry. The list is endless and there is […]

Little Havana

It’s no wonder that the restaurant has recently been voted The Best Steakhouse in South Africa. We have had the pleasure of eating here for dinner and lunch on a number of occasions, and our recent lunch once again proved to confirm this accolade. The upmarket décor and setting sets the scene for the diner to enjoy a sumptuous meal for the discerning palette. They are famous for their extensive range of steaks well aged and cooked to perfection. The menu is varied and offers a full range of offerings from seafoods, poultry, lamb, pork and of course the famous steaks. The walk in wine cellar offers you the chance to pair the perfect combination per course. The menu offers a wide range of starters and desserts to accompany your perfect meal not forgetting aperitifs, and the cigars. Vegetarians are also catered for with a superb offering. The restaurant is set upstairs in the Granada Centre in the village of Umhlanga. The mix of Colonial, Plantations and Cuba offers an interesting twist in the ambience and on the palette. During the day or on one of Durban’s balmy evenings sitting on the verandah provides a awesome setting, or inside the […]

Lunch at The Beverly Hills at the Sugar Club

The cold weekend weather was a deciding factor to the team deciding to book for lunch at the Five Star Beverley Hills buffet lunch. Having booked the table we arrived and were warmly welcomed to our table and seated. As the wind whipped up the azure blue sea outside our drinks order was taken. The buffet table laden with starters and dessert certainly stirred the senses from a visual delight perspective. Our taste buds were soon not disappointed as we chose our various starters and sat down to enjoy the vast array of flavours and textures from our starters. All tastes are catered for from the soup of the day, through a myriad of salads, fresh salmon, and so many options to choose from. It’s all about pacing yourself ensuring that you allow room for the mains and desserts to come. The temptation to go back for more starters was resisted and then the next choice was what to decide to eat for the delectable mains. From roast beef, lamb and chicken, to the traditional Durban lamb curry or butter chicken curry with all the accompanying condiments certainly caused much debate. Should one keep to one main dish or try […]
