THE HUGUENOT is one of the favourite restaurants of my wife and I.
It is handily situated just off the Gordon Road turnoff from the highway on the Cnr of Ontdekkers and Conrad Roads. The telephone number is 011 672 8777
The patrons are a wonderful couple Cecil and Edna Scheepers. They always greet one with a welcoming, complementary sherry aperitif!
The menu was put together by Edna and is pretty extensive. My favourite starter is the Avo-ritz. However there are 14 others to choose from.
As far as mains are concerned there is a 600g T-bone but my favourite is the 300g Blackened Sirloin. What better way to end off the evening than with an Old Cape Brandy Pudding topped with Ice Cream!
THE HUGUENOT has a sort of Olde Worlde dining ambiance about it and one can enjoy a meal there without being disturbed by by loud chatter from other guests. Something prevalent in many other restaurants in Johannesburg.
There is also a side room dedicated to parties and/or conferences (with all the required equipment)
The wines are pretty standard and lacking in choice, if one wants to experiment. However they have broken out of this mould and now stock Slaley and Broken Stone wines.
The service is good, especially if one gets Caroline as a waitress.
So all-in-all, if you want to have a quiet, satisfying evening out, don't forget THE HUGUENOT - it is SIMPLY THE BEST!
