There comes a special moment when you walk into a cafe / bistro and get transported to the high streets of Europe...lots of cook's delights and inspiration galore! Melissa's is just that place...it is an awesome little gem in Parkhurst, Johannesburg! (there are also outlets in the Western Cape) We went for afternoon tea and had the most delicious cakes. The unusual, but very tasty praline baked cheesecake was amazing and so was the carrot cake, with its cream-cheese frosting... The Cafe also has a selection of ready made rusks, biscuits, dried fruit and nuts - they also have loads of inspiration for cooks - I was blown away by their poultry, meat and fish spice rubs, variety of jams, sauces, oils and cured meats - made KevFabFood daydream of various dishes to make at home and ended up buying some yummy and unique treats to cook with...with no doubt the recipes and inspiration will be on its way once KevFabFood has tried and tested the goodies! So next time you want to be transported to your memories of that European foodie holiday, look no further than one very special place...Melissa's - their contact and details are as follows : Web Address : www.melissas.co.za |
