Bruce Robertson (previously at Cape Grace) is finally up and running with his new restaurant, The Showroom. Went to his dry run a few nights ago, and it’s very promising. One of Cape Town’s most minimalist spots, also unusual in terms of being right on a busy intersection, which gives it more of a city feel than most places in this city achieve. The theme to the menu looks like it will work – though it needs lots of explanation by the waiters: you order your food and then you order your choice of sauces from a list of 28 or so. From classics like red wine to salsas, you choose what goes with your food. Makes for some fun. And if you go, do try the Bruce Juice – it’s made by Bruce Jack of Flagstone, so it’s the Two Bruces.
