the elm tree - the syrene hotel

dinner the elm tree !!!!
i opted for snails for starters, paella for mains and caramelised camembert for desserts.
the snails were served cold so i wasn't so impressed with that .
the paella was just a let down for me i wasn't hardly impressed i only ate the seafood elements couldn't eat that rice swimming in that gravy !
i sure have tasted better snails and paella so let's just say i wouldn't be in a hurry to try any of these two dishes again.

the dessert saved the night for me both the creme brûlée and the camembert were beautifully plated and tasted amazing... i absolutely enjoyed that .

i do love the boutiquehotelis a nice find lovely outside for a good summer day .very elegant and classy!
the service was very good i would try it for lunch / brunch in summer just to enjoy the ambiance and different environment .
i am looking forward to sampling more dishes and their wines next time .

boutiquehotelin rivonia and they also make their own wine. did not sample their wine but had great options from their wine list for local wines and some french champagnes. had the rump steak which was perfectly cooked and matured. menu was limited but good quality food. desert was also very good, banana and peanut butter ice cream with a whole cherry syrup. worth a visit!

my experience was mainlly buffet or pre-set menu. not exciting but still interesting food since the restaurant seems to be more a support for thehotelan events rather than "outsiders". nevertheless enjoyable.
