Raphael's at Asara, 01 Feb 2010
Reviewer: MichaelJ (Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: This has got to be one of the top SA restaurants. If Serendipity is in the top 100 then this excellent restaurant must also make the cut.
From the tantalising starters to the superb desserts, with the most tender and flavourful meat dishes everything scores 10 even with a trainee waitress.Add to this the most stunning views of the Heidelberg and you have the perfect spot for a delicious meal.
