They’re taking things to another level.
Truth Café has been voted the best coffee shop in the world for two years in a row by the Daily Telegraph. Apart from recreating what it means to enjoy a great cup of coffee, they’ve expanded to include dinner to their culinary offerings with a concept called Truth After Dark.
Things are about to get serious from 6pm till midnight.
Owner David Donde has just launched a new experience in the form of re-imagined, sophisticated versions of Kaapse comfort food we all grew up with – think pap and wors, samoosas and frikkedels. For out-of-towners, they’ve provided a glossary of what the terms babalas, bredie and regmakers mean!
We don’t want to say too much about this new offering and detract from the delight that awaits customers. There simply is nowhere else in Cape Town to show off nostalgic local cuisine in an unconventionally romantic environment. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
Opt for a food and cocktail paired heppy meal – a Stoner (Blitsem Witblits, ginger puree, lime and hemp) or a zingy OROSie (blood orange juice, Triple Sec and Grenadine), or mix and match your own selection from the menu.
Light meals feature Bovril-y on toast, and a bietjie Biltong (ostrich carpaccio, exotic mushroom biltong and meat jelly on a buttery brioche) and nie Jou Ma se Yellowtail Frikkadel nie (yellowtail pâté ‘meatballs’ with gluten-free garlic bread and apricot jam).
Mains include a hearty Mixed Grill (barbeque basted free-range rack of lamb, chicken and handcrafted boerewors with spicy umfino and grilled corn), a one hundred percent vegan Sosatie, and a Durban-inspired slow-cooked Lamb Bunny Chow.
Expect desserts like Melktert (white couverture chocolate, coffee ice cream, mango passion cremeux on a crispy Speculaas biscuit), Malva Pudding (with Amarula and Valhrona chocolate) or Peppermint Crisp Tart (biscuit, salted caramel, chocolate ganache, milk chocolate and mint ice cream, and Valhrona chocolate).
