what started out as a crazy trip, travelling half way a cross johannesburg...a monday madness 400g steak and a side for r89 from fahrenheit actually ended up being an epic adventure!
i never heard of fahrenheit! i guess i was thinking of the usual steak houses. back in the day it was only one option...spur, spur or spur... alas today we are spoilt for options.
edenvale is so lucky to have such an institution that really is fine dining at it's best. some may call it casual...but it's mighty fine.
the setting is what looks like is an old enormous house that's been converted into a very smart and stylish restaurant...oh and romantic.
sadly i have not yet experienced the chicken or seafood but the steaks are so amazing...i can just imagine what the rest of the menu is like.
the staff are so friendly and waiters assigned to sections, so you get a personalised experience...
i remember thinking that thisplacehas to be pretty great if they are so packed on a monday.
iplacemy order and wait...check the menu out and wow it goes on and on and everything looks just too good to be true. the options are ludicrous...
my meal arrives.... 400g is pretty big and i just love my baked potatoes.
after preparing my baked potato by distributing salt, butter and cream all over it evenly and waiting for the combination to soak in...i turn to that mouthwatering steak.
the first bite! and wow...it just melts in your mouth and the flavor is amazing...
i can't seem to put my knife and fork down to have some more wine.
yes i'm thinking it and my arms are not responding to my mind...."i want a glass of wine!"
but my mind is telling me no! my hands refuse to let go of the knife and fork.
half time haha, i really need a glass of wine but then there is the baked potato.... drooping with butter and cream. i can't resist!!!
now my mind is really confused...."cntrl alt and delete!" options...
steak?
wine?
baked potato?
omg ...what am i supposed to do now?
sigh! maybe a breather....?
i could not believe the quality of that steak, more so could not believe that not only did i finish the steak and baked potato, i failed to finish my wine.:-)
well that's a first!
how has this establishment been a secret since opening its doors in 2007 is amazing.
i can't wait to try their other branches out and start exploring the menu...
r89 for a 400g steak grilled to perfection ...
guess what i'm doing with my mondays?
(sadly the pictures here are not mine, i could just not manage another option i.e. steak, baked potato, wine and photographs)
magic monday madness at fahrenheit...
