My friends and I eat out so often, that our palates have become spoiled. We're picky. But I can guarantee you, although the burger is one of my favourites in Durbanville, the hake and the pasta at Lupa OSteria (The Village Square) always melts in your mouth.
On Saturday night, my friends had the burger and the hake, whilst I had the Truffled Carbonara with Fettuccine. The hake is always tender, buttery and flaky, and the pasta....well, it's cheesy, al dente, delicious and very comforting in winter. It's morish, but the portion was so big, I battled to finish my meal. I took a take-away.
Our bill, between the 4 of us, came to R505, so we tipped David rather generously. There is no corkage, so we took our own wine.
They serve the Hake and the Burger on their week day lunch specials menu, for R78 (Mondays to Fridays, 12 - 3pm).
Why do I LOVE the burger? It is topped with just the right amount of caremalized onion and REAL Fontina cheese. The texture of the patty is slightly dense and firm, very tasty and spiced with just the right amount of flavouring. And you can choose your side (salad or chips). The hake is served on a bed of wilted butter spinach, topped with capers, and comes with a choice of veg, salad or chips. What a feast!
I have eaten the burger twice already. and the hake... too many times to count.
