Cape Town La Boheme

Menu at La Boheme
Day three was a local choice which I had read about and wanted to try.  It didn’t disappoint at all, in fact this place had the WOW factor which from this jaded diner is really something!  La Boheme is the neighbourhood bistro everyone wishes they had on their doorstep, open from breakfast till late, menu written up on blackboards and changed as ingredients arrive or are sold.  The team here (and I say team as they worked as one) were friendly attentive and interested in their customers.  I arrived at the tail end of the Tapas and drinks session and the beginning of the full blown dinner session.  I could choose where I wanted to sit and the menus were explained with enthusiasm and recommendations.  Other customers were being well looked after, even when just having drinks. 

An interesting crispy flatbread and warm crusty bread arrived once the order had been taken, swiftly followed by grilled sardines with lemon chilli and parsley.  I also had riblets of lamb with hummus and tzatziki.  The riblets turned out to be a large stack of crispy cooked lamb breast which had been tenderised by slow cooking and then crisped up in a hot oven, YUM!  Service was well pitched with checks on enjoyment and appropriate clearing, by a variety of staff with no repetition as sometimes happens when dealt with by more than one server.  Ever had three different staff ask if you want another drink or the bill? I will certainly be revisiting La Boheme before the end of this visit so we will see whether they can get full marks for consistency!
