A New Hidden Gem in Town

A new restaurant opened in my neighbourhood just recently.  Raw Café.  Initially I thought it might be a raw food place but after scanning the menu a couple of times I was happy that it turned out not to be…  Delicious sounding sandwiches, salads and wraps had me salivating even though I’d only JUST had breakfast.
 
The concept is a simple one, high quality fresh products combined in such a way as to leave you feeling gloriously satisfied, and which is reasonably priced to make sure that locals keep coming back.  The food part of the restaurant is also only the first phase of the project, phase two involves having fresh flowers for sale by the bunch and phase three is where they incorporate a fashion display which you can browse over while sipping your latte, purchasing anything you might like.
 
I was particularly blown away with the service which was delivered in a sincere and efficient way that makes  believe that they would actually like to see me again.   Raw Café has a delightful wrap-around veranda which means you can sit outside if you would like to, I’d recommend going in the morning and basking in the somewhat weaker but very welcome winter sun.
 
Raw Café can also be hired for private functions.  The interior is simple and clean and would be ideal for a dinner party of up to 30 people.  Menu’s can be decided upon with the chef’s and considering one of the owners is an events coordinator, I think you will be in good hands.
 
Head over to Raw Café in Vredehoek on Derry Street which is open from 8am - 5pm seven days a week, if you see me sitting in the sun sipping a coffee come over and say hi!
