Last night my brother and I went to Gainsbourg, for supper, after being dubbed as having the best burger by someone (at quite a heftyR52) . I had their special for the evening, Norwegian Salmon with herby mash and green beans, Uno had the Gainsburger…
He gave it 7 or 8 out of 10. And he knows his burgers. He still thinks Royale in Long street are the burger kings.
It appealed to me that it was a Saturday evening, so hopefully the salmon would be fresh and yes, it was almost jumping around in my plate, but my green beans, having probabley been cooked beforehand, were quite dead. The mash was good.
For dessert – we could not resist – Uno and I decided to share a cheesecake and a chocolate brownie (a la mode with ice cream and Belgian chocolate sauce). The brownie was amazing, the cheesecake had the look of spending too long a time in the fridge.
At the end we did not have enough money (R250), so my brother went back home (200m from the restaurant) and got another R50. The salmon was overpriced, I feel ashamed that we payed R100 for it, I did not realise the price when I ordered and ate it. Maybe it is the season, but gosh, are we starting to pay the rent of a flat on good food?
