Ms He-Man took me out for a treat at Savvy Brasserie, a relatively new restaurant in the capital. Heard so many good reviews on it and armed with my camera, flash and an empty tummy off we went to be the judge ourselves. The first impression on the restaurant was quite disappointing, it was dark, red and the deco was based on old English cottage style houses. However don`t let this fool you as you are about to discover a new experience..a sweet sensation of a true dining experience.
The journey began with a free starter: Buns with the so called "Zartar" sauce. It looks pretty ordinary but the sweet smell of the sauce hinted that it will be different and exciting and it was. The bread itself was warm, smooth and soft and blended nicely with the Z sauce which has this tingling spicy sensation as it touches the tip of your tongue. It was truly an experience and warm us up for the ultimate pleasure, the real deal which was the main course. We both ordered a Rib Eye steak and upon its arrival i was stunned as it was all i expected but better. Froze this moment by taking a few snaps though there was a buzzing soft sound on the background reminding me to eat my food while its hot.."eat your food while its hot"...( Love you hun)
The beef was gorgeous but what makes it extra special was the chef speciality, the Chimi churri sauce which makes all the difference on that piece of flesh. The grand finale was what we called the Ecstasy: Sliced banana tucked into soft puffy crepes topped with vanilla ice cream smothered with hot dark gooey chocolate sauce. It was an earth shattering, mind blowing sensory overload...dot dot dot.
They say good things come in small packages, unfortunately dining in Savvy carries a hefty price tag. Great for occasional indulgence but might be too heavy for a regular visit. I hope i do get some commission or discount writing this post..
Cheers all!
