Red Rabbit

On Sunday we found ourselves in the new Nicolway shopping centre in Bryanston. All the restaurants are situated in one spot which creates a nice vibe and makes it easier to choose a spot. We walked passed Tasha's (which was packed as always) and a few others but it was the "French Cuisine" in the Red Rabbit logo that caught my attention.




They don't have their liquor license yet - this is the worst news for a restaurant owner but the best news for patrons! And seeing that this centre apparently has the biggest and best Woolworths Food in the country I was sure that they would have a good wine selection and I wasn't disappointed.


I had my first real carbonara pasta and it was rich and delicious!

If the following matters to you, then you will like this restaurant:

- A quality, well polished wine glass
- A waiter appearing out of nowhere with a corkscrew as soon as I put the bottle of wine on the table
- A bowl of ice and a wine cooler without having to ask for it
- Fresh ingredients
- Proper olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table
- Friendly service
- And for a limited time...no corkage!


I have no affiliation to this restaurants and don't even know what the waiter's name was never mind the manager's! But it's been a while since I experienced really good service at a Joburg restaurant so I thought I'd give these guys a thumbs-up!
