The first item on the new menu of the !Khwa ttu restaurant catches one's attention immediately. The 'cold garden pea and mint cappuccino' is certainly not a common occurrence in restaurants on the West Coast and not even in Cape Town. Any patron visiting the !Khwa ttu restaurant should not miss out on this absolutely refreshing starter.

Throughout the new menu scorching hot summer temperatures are met with scrumptious fresh salads, an array of vegetables and exquisite dishes such as 'carrot salad with orange segments, sweet ginger and yoghurt in a pawpaw bowl with a chicken breast turned in orange butter'.

The desserts are equally adjusted to hot summer days and range from 'marinated berries and home-made ice cream' to 'lemon sorbet soaked in Coke, with a lime and mint cremolata' and other surprises.

Is there a better way to begin the holiday season than to sit on !Khwa ttu's patio, enjoying the view of table mountain, relaxing while eating one of the delicious starters, main dishes or deserts, drinking a glass of wine from the selection of the famous West Coast wines and experiencing an enchanting natural environment?
