Joan-Anne and I decided to visit The Class Room Restaurant in the Hemel en Aarde Craft Village, Hermanus on Sunday for their Set Black Board Lunch. The advertising and info from the website that I have seen up to now describes the restaurant as supplying 'relaxed, fine dining'. All looks rather nice, but I'm sure it'll be mighty expensive I thought as we entered. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
The decor is beautifully chosen and classy, reminding me of a fine French restaurant. The tables are spaced far apart enough so that I did not have to endure some other couple's conversation and not too far apart so that I felt adrift. The set menu for the day was a choice of soup or fish for starters, main course of two meats, mini table dessert buffet per person and coffee. All this for a staggering R130! Needless to say we could not do justice to the dessert buffet which can be seen on their Contact Us page on their website. No jokes, that is exactly how it was presented to us. Not only to us, but all the tables received identical mouthwatering desserts.
The young chef made a visit to the tables which was appreciated and the waitrons were 'invisible until needed'. Superb and out of this world to say the least.
Do visit their website at www.theclassroomrestaurant.co.za and see for yourself what relaxed fine dining is all about.
