Ok, ok...I just couldn't resist!
It has been a while since the Gourmet Goddesses had an evening on the town. With Caren starting up a new business in Africa, Merle planning a (very long) awaited wedding and Peet travelling the globe, it becomes a bit tricky to get them all in one room :)
I wanted us to appreciate beautiful Cape Town again, so this was the reason we decided on the Ritz...and of course, the view which makes this old icon, a "must" see.
We went retro, and I really mean time-freeze '70's...complete with lounge piano, Avo Ritz and Crepe Suzette flambe'ed at your table. As luck would have it, the wind started blowing at around 18h00 and just when we were all seated after 19h00, the rain came down.
But it didn't put us back at all....the Goddesses will comment on their experiences below, but for me nothing stood out more than the view and the company - I would come back for the sole though...and maybe even the Crepes :)
The wine was a Virgin Earth's 2009 Pinot Noir ...
The piano and drum set!
The view during a rainy sunset...
After sunset....
And testing the fire alarms with our Crepe Suzette....
Accompanied by Creme Brule and Chocolate Mousse...njammelam!!!
My camera was unfortunately left in the car, so our group photo's didn't quite make the cut. But as usual, a lovely evening spend with dear friends. My beloved said it best with this poem we received during the evening:
To have a palate for all things fine
takes more than a taste for food and wine.
These things are fickle, whimsical, a test.
A true connoisseur knows friends and love are best.
Yes, to truly assess, you must be a Gourmet Goddess...
Sante....till next month!
