Sunday was Show House, and I had to get out before strangers came to view my home For Sale. The thought of people traipsing through my private space, my haven, felt kind of invasive. The agents assured me they would not let it become a circus. Access would be strictly controlled.
I'd arranged that my current Airbnb guest take a break from her studies, and the two of us would go for a leisurely lunch.
Bellevue in Kloof came highly recommended, so off the two of us went for the twenty-minute drive to the Upper Highway.
The decor inside was trendy, and Bellevue was buzzing with diners laughing, chatting, and enjoying delicious food. There were a couple of large groups celebrating family birthdays.
We chose a table outdoors as it was a gorgeous sunny day, and it was packed inside.
There was no way I could take a photo without being intrusive. The entrance to the restaurant was all I managed.
They have quite an extensive menu with very tempting offerings. My guest has become more of a friend after several stays, beginning when hubby was still alive. We had taken turns to treat each other to lunch, today was meant to be my turn. We both decided to order something off the grill menu. She chose Karoo Lamb Chops (3 x 100g) served with salad and fries. I went for Sirloin Steak and Roast Vegetables.
Lamb is pricey, and she insisted on contributing, so we went Dutch!
We were starving by the time the food came, and we both tucked in. I almost forgot to take photos, so the plates don't look as good as when they arrived. The Lamb Chops were nice, thick loin chops, basted in a delicious sauce, cooked to perfection - medium, and juicy inside.
My Sirloin Steak was tender, cooked to a perfect medium, and also basted in a delicious sauce. It was really good served with roasted veggies instead of fries
Neither of us could finish our main course, but we both felt like dessert - it was Sunday after all, and a tempting selection!
- Amarula Espresso Martini - Amarula®, Absolut Vodka®, freshly pulled espresso & a splash of condensed milk (available in decaf)
- Freddo’s Double Caramel Ice Cream Scoop
- Freddo’s Vanilla Ice Cream With Bar-One® sauce
- Dark Chocolate & Pecan Nut Brownie With vanilla ice cream & chocolate sauce
- Crème Brûlée
- Liquid-Centered Chocolate Pudding With vanilla ice cream
- Baked Cheesecake With salted caramel & Rolos®
Cheesecake with salted caramel and Rolos was our choice. It was deliciously creamy and indulgent.
I also could not finish my cheesecake. We took our leftovers home to warm up later for suppertime, and I finished my cheesecake the next day.
It was a lovely afternoon, and my guest/friend said the break did her good, but she had to get back to studying as she was writing an exam the next day.
I for sure will go back to Bellevue, a fabulous venue for a small celebration!
