My sister and I were driving around yesterday looking for a cozy place to have a late lunch. It was raining hard so a warm interior with soft lighting was high on our agenda.
So, on our way to the shopping mall, we stopped of at the Dros - Okovango Crossing. It's been quite a few years since I've had a meal there, but upon entering, we were delighted, because that is exactly what we were presented with. Warmth, soft lighting, dark wood and a ceiling filled with over 43000 empty wine bottles, reflecting the light.
We immediately took a seat in a booth and ordered two massive burgers as we were very hungry.
I had the chicken and cheese, with fries and onion rings, and my sister had the Stellenbosch burger - with chicken and steak plus the trimmings. I can't actually believe I finished mine because the portions were huge. I was stuffed to say the least. In my honest opinion, the burger was good. The chicken fillet was slightly bland, but the sauces made up for it. This is not gourmet at all, it's just a big hearty burger from a very nice steak house.
I enjoyed the ambiance and interior though. I could probably have spent more time there, enjoying more wine if we weren't in a hurry. The service was excellent, and the price of our meal was super affordable. Mine was under R90 and my glass of wine was R40. The Stellenbosch burger was R95, which is an excellent price considering the abundance of our meal.
We will be back!
