This weekend we went for supper at Cube. Understatement of the year.
This weekend was the culinary highlight of my year!
In summary, it's a 30 seater 1 room restaurant (that includes the kitchen) in
Parktown North that aims to blow you away & totally abuse all your senses
by serving up one insane creation after the other.

All guests have to be seated by 19h30 and then the 11 courses start to appear one after the other from the kitchen in the back corner of the restaurant where the handful of chefs are frantically cooking & plating up these masterpieces.
Wine suggestions are sent with the menu beforehand and works on a BYO principle.
Waiters are well trained and after taking stock of the wines we brought with, our waiter kept our glasses full throughout the evening with the wine that would best match the next dish to be served.
From olive caviar to tomato mousse to foie gras to garlic foam to de-constructed
lemon tart. Weird. Wonderful. Jaw dropping.
Lots of mmmmm's and aaahhh's and uncontrollable giggles all around.

It doesn't come cheap and understandably so. But when you do have something
to celebrate or if you have a few bucks lying around - do it! It's worth every cent.
