Dam thats good Lamb

Being married into an Afrikaans family has it's advantages. Last Sunday our wonderful brother in law took hubby and I to a little treasure of a restaurant called  "Die Dam Huis" in Melkbosstrand.Our table was booked right next to the open fire which was awesome as it was a rainy cold day... However I did notice that there were plenty of patio and gas heaters around. My brother in law had already convinced us to try the lamb rib roll and mash so for hubby and I it was a no brainier - An added bonus was the lovely authentic Afrikaans setting and the great choice of Laborie Red on the menu.

 To say the lamb was good is an understatement. It was awesome! Hubby and I were well and truly stuffed, and couldn't finish our plates. This didn't stop our brother in law from having his lamb, part of his wife's his carrot cake followed by half his daughters chocolate cake.

 There is a smoking area in the bar which is also comfy. Our host (sorry didn't get her name) ensured we were well taken care of without any hovering inexperienced waiter embarrassing moments type stuff.  She was attentive and informative only at the very last did she mess up by saying (oh you live together!!! to hubby and I ) But hy ho hubby does look very young at the moment - lol So we will forgive her.

The combination of traditional Afrikaans cooking and hospitality proved irresistible, lets face it one thing Afrikaners know how to do is cook. Washed down with the most heavenly red wine, Sunday nap was only a blink away (So glad I wasn't driving)

At just 15 minutes from the Northern Suburbs "Die Dam Huis" is a wonderful Sunday lunch option. Price are not cheap, but neither is the level of service or quality of food. Well worth a visit ...

See you soon - Die Dam Huis
