Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
**** BBQ Workshop, Rivonia Village, Rivonia Boulevard
I enjoy this restaurant for its spicy food and great variety. This time I had
Porcupine Ridge Chardonnay and my partner his hot chocolate. To eat, I ordered
calamari and he falafel. Unfortunately he did not find them really to his taste.
Service here is great and Abraham was on the ball

*** OTG (Off the Grid) Bar and Kitchen, Cambridge
Crossing, Paulshof
Drawback - smoky entrance and the non-smoking side is very small. Good range
of pub food as well as steaks and a menu that made the wine hard to find! This
is the place to go for Quiz nights and other fun events. Assisted by Muzi, who
seemed to be involved with too many tables.
Horror - no hot chocolate! So Cappuccino was substituted. The Boschendal
Boschen Blanc was a good choice as were my garlic snails. The bangers and mash
were declared very good and the English mustard was hot. However this produced a
stomach-ache afterwards.
Definitely a place for the sporty to go and have a good time.

"Any nickel?"
"Very unlikely."
