Gordon Ramsay eat your heart out.Simple as that. Our third vist and it was marvellous. A big fat tray of amazing canapes, all included in the price(oysters anyone?) was followed by four astonishingly courses. Favourites were crayfish tails and scallops - perfectly cooked, creamy, moist and hot from the pan - no sitting around under heat lamps for these little babies, and puddings to make you weep - coconut and chocolate mousse so rich you can feel it all the way to your toes, perfectly balanced with a teaspoon of zinging, vibrant passion fruit sorbet.Just when you think its all over, another tray of complimentary goodies slides in front of you - homemade nougat, truffles and caramel popcorn and you just can't help yourself, Phenomenal. Chuck in the most incredible Camps Bay sunset, and attentive, efficient and gentle service and The Roundhouse is perfect - go for birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions - its not cheap but its oh so, so special.

London Prices??????? When I ate at the The Fat DucK it was 250 Pounds for the menu with wine. But maybe you ate at a different Fat Duck. Mine was the one were Heston works were was yours.

An evening that celebrates the Golden age of luxurious and intimate fine dining. Charming and wonderful. The finest hospitality, coupled with terrific fine fare. Our 30th anniversary was celebrated in royal style. Our Roundhouse experience is to be treasured for all of time.

Interesting reading Roy's comments. Perhaps we ordered according to our exact tastes, but our table had the best food and wine experience in a long time. Not one complaint. Granted, parking is a problem, but I suppose when dining elsewhere, we often have to walk. The setting is remarkable, the service was incredible (Clifferd??) and a night to cherish and remember.

To pay London prices for this fare is very pretentious. Some dishes outstanding by any measure. Some mediocre in the extreme. To receive tasting menu portion sizes on the 4-course menu is a disgrace. To require guests paying >R600/head to park 5oom at the bottom of a dark hill is hardly service.

Expensive, pretentious, rather pleased with themselves. Courses imaginative, well cooked, if bland. Servings were minute. Bizarre ritual with cheese platter : one selects four cheeses, platter whisked away, four tiny slivers of the cheeses selected appear. Main restaurant v. noisy. No own wine. Had to park 500m away on unlit road - complete shambles.

This is the most fabulous restaurant to spend a romantic night with your loved one. The ambience is relaxed whilst at the same time you feel like you are at a top European restaurant that you were somehow lucky enough to get into. The service is beyond excellent and has since made me critical of every 'top' restaurant visited since. The food portions were generous and taste indescrible it was so devine. This place is a must for Valentine's! I wish I could go there all the time!

Congratulations! I have never seen so many comments and so positive ones from patrons of a restaurant in Cape Town. There must be something in the air around the premises which urges the guests to share their mostly 3 star experience. Or is it just marketing?

Sinn's Restaurant "There is something so simply indulgent about Risotto. Yes, health nuts would slate it for it's cheesy, creamy ladenness, but personally, that's all the more reason to revere it (and then pop off to the gym the next day). The Rocket Risotto and Silver Fish I had last night at Sinns, was incredible! The texture of the firm, crisp-skinned fish, paired with the dreamy sanctity of the Risotto, punctuated with beetroot chips and served out in the airy sophistication of Wembly Square- Bellissimo! ..."
