It must have been about 7 years ago that a learned looking chap, who turned out to be a chef from the eastern Cape, commented that we had about a year and a half to go after I told him that the business had been up and running for 5 and a half years.

Of course my interest was piqued because I had every intention of lasting at Lime Tree Cafe a little longer than a year and half more.

He went on to explain that after 7 years, if running successfully, a restaurant would become institutionalised. From that moment on it became my target.

For those who know us, we have long passed that milestone. I'm not sure if we're an institution yet, but we're certainly still here.

Hundreds of thousands of people have visited us. Imagine how many cups of coffee we have made. Burgers. Pizzas. Pastas. Breakfasts. Paninis.

And hey presto.....this Tuesday 22nd September, we turn 12 years old and on the cusp of our terrible teens.

Tuesday is our Pizza Specials day so please come and take advantage of the 50% discount off the second pizza (or 50% off 2 pizzas if you have 4). And we are still running our Early Bird coffee special or our unmissable R60 breakfast (both until 9:30am).

If neither of these tickle your fancy, here are the specials we are running from Thursday 17th until Wednesday 30th September...in the words of Oliver Twist....Food Glorious Food

Beef Goulash Soup Served with Toasted Sourdough - R85

Pan Fried Barramundi Served on Sweet Potato Mash with Sautéed Pak Choi & Caper Butter Cream - R245

Grilled Ribeye Steak Served with Fries & a choice of Creamy Pepper Sauce or Creamy Wild Mushroom Sauce - R265

Lime Tree Kingklip & Prawn Curry Served with Basmati Rice, Dhal & Raita - R235

Pizza Special - Margherita Pizza with Chorizo, Artichokes, Peppadews, Goats Cheese & Spring Onion - R190

And last but by no means least (and featured in my photo because it is generous and delicious and is a nod to Heritage day being green and gold...sort of...the peppermint gives us the green)......Homemade Peppermint Crisp & Caramel Ice Cream Terrine Cake - R80

And if that isn't enough, on Sunday our roast is...

Roast Beef Sirloin R185
or
Roast Leg of Pork R175
served with
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower and Broccoli Bake
Roast Vegetables and
Gravy

So with that I wish you a pleasant evening and hope to see you soon.

Birds are amazing.

We have a bird feeder at home. Its one of those bottles that we fill with sugary water and hang up on the roof of the deck. The birds love it. Sugar birds, sunbirds, glass eyes, starlings and many others jostle for a go at the precious liquid. Of course size counts. But there is a fascinating politic going on as somehow everyone gets a turn. Sometimes brief and skittish, sometimes relaxed and assured. Sometimes a gang arrives and simply takes over while those lower in the pecking order sit in the tree and indignantly squawk or shriek or shout. Or just wait their turn, because it will some. What is also spellbinding is the speed with which they take off, navigate the complex web of branches and effortlessly land without so much as touching a twig.

And they fly with such intention. As if something really important awaits them. Life seems such a serious business.

A duck gliding along on a calm pond is a serene sight, seemingly effortlessly able to move as if powered by an underwater propellor. The truth of course is quite different, as it paddles away underwater heading towards its intended destination....whatever that may be.

Their paddling is a metaphor for hard work made to look easy.

We try to give the same impression when it's busy here at Lime Tree Cafe.

But behind the scenes the kitchen is always paddling away. And as if making the food isn't enough, every two weeks they have to come up with a new Specials Menu. Thursday is the tasting day when we offer our new creations to the waiters to test and get to know. I know I have written about this before, but it is amazing what they produce....so I am writing again to salute their efforts.

Our specials from today until Wednesday 16th September are :

Delicious Creamy Spinach & Mushroom Soup Served with Toasted Sourdough - R80

B**r Battered Hake & Chips Served with Homemade Tartare Sauce & Green Salad - R150

Grilled Chicken Satay with Creamy Peanut Sauce, Coconut Rice & Thai Cucumber Salad - R185

Slow Roast Pork Belly with Crackling, Five Spice Gravy Served on Colcannon Mash with Broccoli Florets - R190

Pizza Special - Pulled Pork, Caramelised Onion, Sundried Tomatoes & Shaved Grana Padano - R185

Roast Beef Sirloin - R185
or
Roast Pork Leg - R175

with Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower Bake

Comer and try ....it's worth the journey

At some point in my life as a very young man living in England, my brother discovered food dye. He also suddenly developed a strong desire to cook food for friends and siblings.

What followed were meals of mince with blue mashed potato. Pizzas with bright green bases. Custard in unpleasant shades of brown. Its strange how difficult it is to eat a green pizza, especially when juxtaposed with the bright red tomato paste.

Nothing edible is blue. Sometimes the stinky French camembert that is given to me by visitors from overseas can turn some odd colours. But blue ? No thank you.

So imagine my surprise and throwback shock when I was recently asked if we could make a blue birthday cake. Chocolate flavoured. Blue chocolate ? Luckily the inside was to be chocolate coloured, with only the icing to be blue. One quick consultation with our baking chef and the order was placed. No problem. That's what I love about the man. If it can be done he'll do his utmost to make a plan (Client focus and quality are fundamental in our business. But a 'Can Do' attitude comes a close third. We try and delete the word NO, and replace it with 'Hmmmmmm...now let me see').

And so the photo below tells the tale. The cake was further embellished with even more blue and the recipient (a young girl in Masiphumelele) was simply over the moon when she opened the cake box.

Thanks Jeancy. Great cake. Happy Birthday Girl.

Moving on....our bi-weekly specials are :

From 20 August to Wednesday 2 September :

Hearty Oxtail & Vegetable Soup Served with Toasted Sourdough - R85

Pan Fried Sole on a Potato & Chickpea Bake with a Creamy White W**e & Mushroom Sauce - R255

Rich Beef Lasagna with Crispy Bacon Served with a Feta & Olive Garden Salad - R185

Lime Tree Paella with Chicken Fillet, Linefish, Mussels & Prawns - R220

Pizza Special- Margherita with Savoury Beef Mince, Chutney, Red Onion, Olives, Peppadews & Feta - R185

Warm Sticky Orange Pudding Served with Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream - R80 (wickedly delicious...just saying)

And our Sunday roast is .....

Roast Beef Sirloin - R185.00
Roast Pork Leg - R175,00
Served with..
Baby potatoes with garlic and rosemary
Butternut mash
Roast Vegetables
and gravy.

To end off in the words of Porky Pig....That's all folks

See you later

We love hearing from our customers! Thank you Amy Wallas Fox for such a wonderful review!

My family and I finally tried Lime Tree Cafe - what were we thinking waiting so long to come here? 🥰

First off my husband and I came for coffee and enjoyed the deal they have for any coffee from 8-9:30 AM. I also tried the fresh fruit start for breakfast which was a nice combination of cut fruits, berries, yogurt and tasty granola, plus honey for drizzling. It hit the spot for a sweet yet still healthy morning meal.

Later that same afternoon we decided to bring our three children back to try the dinner menu, which we were excitedly eyeing during breakfast.

Every two weeks Lime Tree Cafe changes their extensive specials list and every one looked amazing. I tried the ribeye steak with sauteed onions and blue cheese sauce with chips. Such a decadent, juicy steak arrived - of course everyone wanted a bite.

My older daughter chose the ABC (avocado, bacon, Camembert) burger from the regular menu.

Wow - the burger really surprised us with its height and presentation. She ate the entire patty before giving any to me so I got to taste only the bacon, avo and cheese.

Our other two kids opted for pizza - my son trying Brian’s pizza (beef sirloin, feta, carmelized onion, rosa tomatoes and rocket) and adding on avo and fig jam - a truly delectable combination; and my youngest tried the simple margarita with extra cheese which she enjoyed.

We also shared the fish cakes (added an extra) which I really enjoyed - fried to perfection with a wonderful sauce and small salad.

We eyed the desserts but did not partake this time.

We look forward to making Lime Tree Cafe a weekly stop for family dinner. ❤️
