THE FOODBARN

Here's the latest newsletter from the Foodbarn. I am a huge fan so here's my big punt, not that they need it! Pop in to the Foodbarn for lunch and watch one of Franck's demos, its really worthwhile and his food is world class.
They are also doing great things at the deli, the revamp has given it a bold more mod although somewhat melissa'sy feel (which cant be a bad thing) and its the perfect coffee / breakfast / lunch venue. The tarts, pies, fresh produce, roast chicken and pastries are amazing as well has their wines (which you can buy on Sunday's!) Unfortunately every time I stop by for a coffee I end up with packets full of goodies but not to worry they have brought out their own bags which fit so much more in than the paper ones!

Francks dem's for this week are:

20 minutes “bourride” fish soup served with aioli, linefish, prawns and emmenthaler croutons, and
Hand chopped Steak tartare “the Foodbarn way” served with baguette croutons, drops of olive oil , vintage balsamic vinegar & tender leaves, and

Linguini with calamari and chilli
Book now for Tue & Thu @ 11h30 or Wed @18h30

Remember that the Dem's are free with your lunch/dinner booking

New Foodbarn Dangerous Rose
The new Foodbarn Dangerous Rose has arrived; wow, we are really chuffed with what Adam Mason from Klein Constantia has done with this years vintage ... it is obviously on the wine list at the Restaurant and is for sale in the Deli @ R50 a bottle.
Come and taste the Rose (and some other wines) on Sat and Sun this week-end @ The Deli between 11:00am and 3:00pm.
A cooking tip from Franck:
Don't throw out all that left over wine ... freeze into ice-cubes for use in casseroles and sauce
