recently under new management, michaels has upped their decor and food quality. their burgers are really good and served with stylish and appetising presentation of chips and salad. delicious! whilst it doesn't pretend to be a venue for fine dining i do feel that the menu is rather boring and dishes offered are typically south african 1980's! burgers, pizzas , fried battered calamari rings and fried hake and chips could surely be added to with some interesting dishes, or dumped! in fact apart from their delicious burgers, the other items i've tried have also been a little disappointing. service is good and the owner is always around to make sure things go smoothly. if they could just be a bit more innovative with the menu i would up my rating of 3.5....
later...went for a most disappointing breakfast. my soft poached eggs were mangled, bacon was 80% fat, grilled tomato was flash grilled for 5 secs. mushrooms were very tasty. but the worst was one slice of government issue brown toast. ..completely tasteless. i do think that for r75 excluding coffee, they could at least serve a couple of slices of decent bread. this is an above average price for a way below average standard of breakfast.
at least thecoffeewas good.
i'm lowing my previous rating from 3.5 to 2.5 for the poor breakfast.
