We have been anticipating this Goddess feast with pagan abandon! Merle made the booking in December 2013 and we could only secure our table at The Pot Luck Club end of February 2014.
Breathtaking views! I do not like being up in the air, surrounded only by glass. If it was not for the saliva-inducing smells which hypnotised me into the restaurant, I might still have been clinging to the steel door on the glass lift...
The fires in the open kitchen was only matched by a Cape Town heat wave and some hot flushes from our table!
Cocktails and our regular Graham Beck bubbly set the scene for the gastronomic expedition:
Little tapas and tidbits of every kind graced our table, which at times reminded me of a Greek or Roman festival. We had...
Beef Fillet
Pork Belly (according to the carnivores, the winner of the selection)
Avo Ritz
Fish Taco's
Tuna Shashimi
Oysters
Lamb Ribs
Artisan bread with Pesto & Olives
Baby potato's in chili & garlic mayo
Edamame
As exotic noises of appreciation rose from our table, Caren's finale of "Oh, my G*d" summed up the taste sensation in true "When Harry met Sally" style. The desserts were out of this world.
A pause is definitely required at The Pot Luck Club for any foodie worth their salt, but I would say once would do it. But as far as sharing food with these beautiful women go....once would never be enough!
Till next month...Sláinte!

Off the four Goddesses went, in search of some spice to add to our lives :)
Merle directed us to Chandani, an icon of Indian cuisine in Woodstock, Cape Town.
The food was comforting and hit all the right notes (even Peet who can barely tolerate chutney without breaking a sweat was happily dipping and savoring). This is a vegetarian's idea of heaven, as I was spoiled for choice, whilst the girls settled for a korma, a rogan josh and the like, I had my favorite green lentil dahl with peas. We shared a bread basket which contained various types of roti, naan and paratha...I am salavating again!
They do not have an extensive wine list, but are happy if you bring along your own tipple of choice - Peet spoiled us with our fast favorite bubbly, Secret Garden Brut MCC. Other than that, the food was spot-on authentic Indian, and much more affordable than the average restaurant in Cape Town.
Another amazing night, filled with unconditional love, sharing and caring.
Namaste till next month!
