Don Pedro, his seven wives and four friends!

Everything about this resturant hit the right note - from ambience, entertainment, food and service. Its well worth the trek to Roodebloem Rd in Woodstock if you are looking for an awesome dining experience with a twist.

Food 5/5
I think this is a first for me! The Oxtail Ravioli was mouth-wateringly delicious and the green beans had just enough crispness to keep them interesting. The pasta was obviously homemade and very yummy. Well done.

Wine 3/5
Haute Cabriere is a perennial favourite and always dependable.

Ambience 5/5
Lovely, old world Woodstock glamour. The live entertainment blew us away and everyone was tapping a foot under the table.

Service 3/5
The absolutely only negative thing about the whole evening was the long wait for our food (not that our four intrepid friends minded - we had lots of catching up to do!). The long wait was mitigated by our hostess who arrived with vodka shots (I think it was honey flavour) that quickly disappeared.

Price 4/5
Reasonable. The food and entertainment was of a very high standard - so worth every penny!

Until next time, Peet

Doing it - the Don's way....

On a windy Wednesday evening, courtesy of Caren's nose for the extraordinary, we met up at Don Pedro's in Woodstock, Cape Town. Peet had a scheduling issue with her hubby, which resulting in three of us starting on the foundation of what was to be, a most memorable evening.

We made the most of the wait with a few well worded toasts!

Our gorgeous hostess...



It was Merle's birthday last week, so Caren spoilt her a bit...

And each of us also got a beautifully wrapped indulgence - Thanks C!
 

The wine was Haute Cabriere's gorgeous Pinot Noir...

La Menu...

Peet fell right into the party mood when she arrived :)
 

 The food was really good. Every one of the dishes we ordered was really spot-on!





Salt & Pepper squid...njammelam!

Caren's fillet resulted in dreamy looks around the table, but no comment from the vegetarian :)

Merle's Prawn & phillo started was scrumptious...
 

Peet decided on the special Ox tail ravioli - a definite winner...

Cheesecake with butterscotch topping  - This dessert will have me back at Don Pedro's regularly!
 

What is an evening without Chocolate mousse :)



Merle had a Strawberry mouse which tasted very fresh and delectable...

 

 

The entertainment made this Restaurant stand out from the rest - a classy act. And of course the Goddesses had to send in our very own dancing queen to represent the table. Merle bringing it!
 

 

 

 

An amazing evening where our table was the last to leave - on a weeknight! Caren commented on how she always feels comforted by the female energy around the table - it's almost like getting our monthly fix. So in honour of the sisterhood, may this circle of four female friends keep sharing the love...

 

 



We know that we are very blessed to have each other....

Till next month - Cheers!
