THE RAILWAY HOUSE
This National Heritage site built in 1913, has the most astonishing view of the sea. On calm days the sash windows are opened and one can smell the sea air and look out across the bay.
George and Jason are the cheffing team that you'll find in the kitchen, lovingly preparing each meal especially for you!
Head chef George Schoonraad has been in the industry for numerous years and joined the Railway House team two years ago. His passion for food and love of experimentation with new tastes spills over into the dishes he creates. Jason is a graduate from the prestigious Prue Leith Cooking School of Food and Wine and he lends an enthusiastic and creative twist to the outfit.
The underlying principal that they fashion the menu's to is fresh ingredients and fresh ideas. They strive to create South African food with a contemporary feel. It's about combining interesting ingredients that have been ignored for the last decade.
One of the most popular starters is the roasted papaya with sweet walnut relish; unusual but delicious. The seared fillet of game dressed with a basil chili pesto and peppadew mayonnaise is also a firm favorite. Our line fish usually served with a citrus beurre blanc, but as a specialty, George adds tree tomatoes - it seems that people are finally discovering how delicious and versatile they are.
When it comes to pudding, Railway House's marshmallow pavlova with fresh berries goes down a treat. Some patrons however can't finish the meal off without the chocolate and almond torte.
Try one dish or try them all! Each item on the menu is a delight and should be discovered and enjoyed at length. |

The Meeting place
Situated in the picturesque village of Simon's Town along the bustling main road, The Meeting Place is a rather unique establishment created by talented owners Olivia Gain and Debbie Jaentsch.
