Tucked away in what’s greatest described as one of many extra drained trying elements of the place Strand meets Somerset West is a comparatively new, sparkly eatery gem named Alex on Hearth Moto Bistro. Taking into account that subtitle, given the truth that the bistro is located simply behind a preferred motorbike workshop, and taking into consideration that kick-ass brand, that is after all then one other a type of eateries that takes its coronary heart from the biking fraternity – which is smart contemplating the truth that co-owner Derek Chester-Browne has for a few years been a part of the native motorbike scene. That stated although, that is definitely no easy biker’s joint.
Housed in a heritage property and in possession of a lovely Burmese teak bar that comes from a as soon as fashionable Somerset West watering gap that has lengthy since burned down, the Alexandria Lodge, Alex on Hearth is definitely a fairly respectable eatery that serves some fairly upmarket styled meals and simply so occurs to have a bit one thing for everybody on its spectacular (for a bistro) menu. Once more, this makes full sense when you think about that Scott Hendrie is the chef on the wheel, which, if my LinkedIn stalking expertise are right, has him as having beforehand helmed a number of the Cape’s prime kitchens, together with Le Franschhoek Lodge, Dieu Donne Restaurant, Pepper Membership Lodge, and Val de Vie Polo Restaurant.
Given the intention to be a little bit of a house to all, Alex on Hearth really does an incredible job of catering to children, full with a enjoyable little journey styled children play space that contains a magnificent boat caught in a tree treehouse! Our explicit go to fell inside the interval the place Coronavirus Lockdown guidelines equalled prohibition, so no touch upon the drink out there however as you’ll be able to inform from the images the meals got here out of the kitchen trying (and tasting) fairly rattling good!
An added bonus value mentioning is that on arrival each the children and the adults acquired a neat little leisure pack – colouring in for the ladies and a web page of sudoku, wordsearch and crossword puzzles for the adults – a close to excellent distraction whilst you wait in your meals and perhaps don’t have something left to say to 1 one other after having spent just about the complete 12 months staring into each other’s eyes because of the worldwide pandemic the world is at the moment engulfed in.
Anyway, we definitely loved this new discovery, a lot in order that the truth is Chantelle has already made fairly a couple of return runs to it!
