Anniversary dinner at La Mouette - NEW Spring Tasting Menu

Dinner at La Mouette in Sea Point

I can't that I've been married for just over a year! And I surprised my husband with a little anniversary dinner... He always spoils me, so I booked a table at La Mouette – I confess that this was because I selfishly dying to try their new Spring tasting menu – and kept it all hush hush. Yesterday evening I convinced him to walk to the shops with me, in the direction of La Mouette, and then I just pulled him inside. He held me back saying 'But aren't we making homemade burgers tonight?' and 'I don't have my wallet with me'. I had to assure him that it was all planned and it was his turn to be spoiled.

We both went for the Fritto Misto and the Roasted Chicken choices for our two 'main courses'. Overall, my favourites were the pea soup, the chicken and the rhubarb crumble combination took me by surprise with it's delightful balances of flavour and texture. We had a stunning table right next to the fireplace – intimate and cosy!
