    One of the most delicious meals I’ve had in years: lamb dumplings in delicious broth, burnt cauliflower, scrumptious chicken and bitter and sweet salad with a knockout burnt lemon meringue pie pav to finish. Highly recommended.

    Seriously delicious meal at Poly, the food is impeccable, shared 3 mains and 2 salads + fried potato with egg yoke (amazing) was more than enough for 4 of us and got to try a big selection of the menu. Got to taste a few wines before landing on Poly Chardoney ...wonderful. Needless to say, fantastic and knowledgeable service pulled it all together. Big fan, can't wait to visit again. Well done.

    Couldn’t love Le Salle more if I tried. The menu changes regularly with only the bread remaining constant. Each dish cooked perfectly and presented with incredible care. Eddy provides a warm service and som duties. This menu included all the required food groups and the option to upgrade to a wagyu. The fish, Imperadore was the favourite for me but almost too close to pick a favourite.
