Capetonians searching for somewhere relaxed enough for slipslops but still stylish enough to be seen at should head for Fork, perfect for a late business lunch, after-work drinks or a post-movie or -theatre dinner. Owners JD Haasbroek and Ed Saunders (above) pride themselves on serving up a delicious array of ‘contemporary tapas’ – basically, modern cuisine in chic, tapas-sized potions. The menu features a mix of global flavours ranging from fried tagliolini with basil pesto to diced tuna loin served with cannellini-bean salad (below) and ostrich-fillet rolls stuffed with Emmenthal, asparagus, sweet chilli and mustard. Deciding what to order isn’t easy: select a few dishes and share them to ensure you get to sample as many as possible!
