milk & honey bar

oct 2018 - this place has being growing well, have been frequenting often and find the food, service and entertainment really good. still a lover of the teaspot and menu has been changed up a bit. they definitely move up to 4!

2017 - the new addition to monte casino square. its beautifully elegant with a french style decor, quite a change from the previous jenda. the waitstaffare also dressed to fit in. the idea was saturday night dinner but the menu is limited. it is on the pricier side, can't justify 4 crumbed prawns at 135. it was also breaded and not tempura as per menu. we also tried the hoisin chicken wings, pototo skins and onion rings. both wings and prawns served with sweet chilli sauce or as they classify it chilli jam, no ginger dipping sauce as per menu. onion rings were flat and not tempura crispy.

for a bar the drinks, cocktail and wine menu is good. there is also no tv in here which i get will damper the look and concept. my teaspot was lovely served in a teapot. service is great and the complimentary truffle honey popcorn was nice. to come in for a quick drink and snack maybe before or after the show is ideal but not a place l'd linger long enough for. i know i will go back and try this place again based on location but as the sister branch of limas first impression was just not as good.

open for less than a month, milk & honey is a unique place for a few reasons: the decor is very special, right down to the french graffiti; the service is excellent, waitstaffare very friendly and happy to tweak the menu slightly; and a unique birthday jam that puts a smile on everyone's faces. the food offering tries to be unique - perhaps a little too much? however we tried most items from the starters and a few from the mains, with some ice cream to round things off. honey is a common theme, along with truffle oil that perhaps pops up a few too many times on the menu to remain niche. but the menu is a work-in-progress, so look out for good changes. the cheese burger though, hit the spot. well worth a visit, even if only for the impressive drinks selection.

same owners and chef as lima tapas bar - so was expecting as wonderful an experience as i had had at lima - and was not wrong :) beautifully decorated with light wood and french inspired finishes, the servicestaffwere friendly and helpful in making suggestions. light menu - tapas, burgers and the like, do yourself a favour and try a "teaspot" tea pot cocktail as well as the arancini balls and the popcorn with honey truffle oil - it is to die for!! outdoor seating area for smokers and a fun vibe as the sun goes down. dj's on the decks on weekends - no cover charge and their first thursday parties are great fun. highly recommended!

mother’s day fail.

i am the first person to recommend milk & honey to the population of south africa but milk & honey has fallen so hard in my rankings post mothers day that i actually haven’t even been back to the place ever since despite its amazing haloumi fries, fried biltong, shisha and seared beef salad.

the mother’s day “spread” consisted of (takes deep breath) 4 rock hard sandwiches with underwhelming fillings, rock hard croissants, checkers macaroons and a milk tart cup. it took 45 minutes for the high tea experience to arrive even though the high tea had been booked by me 24 hours in advance and the restaurant had not even gotten busy for the mothers day service. to top it all off; it didn’t even arrive on a three tier tray; it arrived in plates. even our waiter was like “this is bad sorry guys but here you go”.

mothers day was pretty much ruined until our waiter came along much later and gave my mom some extra bubbly. nice gesture and nice touch from the friendlystaffwho were clearly working under strange managerial conditions.

not great guys. not great.

i'm sorry to say that this is by far the worst restaurant i've been to in terms of food. decor is stunning,staffare wonderful but the food oh my word is horrendous!! to start i ordered the milk&honey cocktail because it sounded interesting (note to self if a cocktail has chocolate milk and soda water in it don't order it) it was gross..the starter nachos are tasteless, the prawn salad was the only mildly okay-ish dish, i had the duck & cherry pot pie which the middle of the pastry was raw and the inner filling was mostly oil...so much oil it was sickening to eat so i just left it, my hubby said his main tasted like a steak from wimpy! didn't trust to order dessert from that place so just left and went elsewhere in monte for dessert ..will never return not even for drinks

i experienced a bad time , thestaffreally reciprocated what management is ...which is not up to par and rude as well .

great vibe, exceptional service, lovely decor and good food. thestaffwere amazing and made our occasion very special. we had a fantastic evening. highly recommended!

1. service is great, allstaffare very friendly.
2. the vibe during holiday time and weekends is vibrant and enjoyable.
3. when they have a dj the music is bawm.
4. they have this chic laid back decor look. 
5. the cocktails are for an aquired taste, so be double sure before you order one. i enjoyed the don collins. 
6. the food is is great and tasty, worth the price, their hoisin chicken wings are a must have. 
all in all, i'd totally keep going there for a good vibe, nibbles and drinks.

little bit loud with the music, but very friendlystaffand really good desserts!! love the wooden bowties all the waiters wear! dennis you legend!!

chocolate brownies was more like a hot cake rather than a brownie but they made up for it with delicious peanut butter ice cream!!

ok so we went for drinks... only had a snack of the halloumi chips... wow... delicious, absolutely amazing... loved the innovative use of ingredients and flavors... the atmosphere, decor andstaffare all stunning and we should have rather stayed for dinner... we will be back, i’m sure they won’t disappoint

milk & honey is my favourite restaurant/ bar at montecasino !!😍
from the moment you enter you can see that the place is tastefully decorated. thestaffare all dressed with the cutest hats , suspenders and wooden bowties. it also helps that thestaffare friendly and eager to make suggestions about food options - particularly of they think a portion may be smaller than what you're anticipating.
the food is amazing 😀 , especially their speciality popcorn which is drizzled with syrup.
if you're looking for a laid back space to get a snack and some drinks you should definitely pop in
