Our signature lamb ragù will have you dreaming of your next trip to Woodlands 🤤

Slow-roasted lamb in our wood fired pizza oven, dished from our Nonna’s copper bowls and then seasoned with some secret herbs and a hefty helping of parmigiano (like all things really Italian) 😉

Have you had our signature Lamb Ragù?

Served in our Nonna’s original copper pots (yes, we brought them Italy). Slow-cooked overnight, our Karoo lamb is beautifully tender. It’s our favourite and we’re sure it will be yours too!

Mellish is the kind of w**e every good Italian loves: independent w**e producer, close to the land, intentional w**ecraft and most importantly; an invitation to slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy the simple pleasures.

We’re really excited to be featuring them on the blackboard this month! Come around and order a bottle with your mains and see for yourself!

COZZE ALLA MARINARA - Italian for THE BEST MUSSELS YOU’LL EVER HAVE! 👀

We do our mussels the Italian way - cooked with white w**e, parsley and served with some bruschetta to soak up all that goodness.

It’s a perfect sharing starter to warm up the stomach “mussel” for mains.

LOOKOUT OCTOBER! Because we’ve got La Brune W**es in the house for our Sagra Food and W**e pairings!!!

This incredible w**ery has exploded in interest over the last few years, crafting Burgundy styled w**es in Elgin! They’ve been highly recognised by w**e reviewers like Tim Atkin and Platter for their exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. We’re so excited to have Nico their w**emaker and their team with us - we’re sure there’s so many stories they can tell!

5 Courses, 4 w**es
R495/person
6th of October at 7pm

Call, message or whatsapp us to book! Our Sagra nights have been booked out all year, so don’t wait too long to lock in your spot!
