Restaurant description

Carlton caf� is a tiny daytime eatery serving breakfast, lunch and all-day fare. Since opening in Menlo Park, Pretoria, in October 2002, it has drawn a loyal epicure following. The caf� is not licensed to sell wine; please bring your own or buy next door. Reservations recommended.

Chef-patronne Rachel Botes read law but found more contentment in cooking. Inspired by a chef's jacket bought at the rummage sale of the old Carlton Hotel in 1998, she established the first Carlton Caf� at river meadow manor in Irene. Finding it difficult to source particular products for corporate clients, she extended the Carlton concept to include a small deli when opening in Menlo Park. "My strong point is my ability to marry tastes. I know what will work together before even trying it." She holds dear the values of seasonal, wholesome fare and working with basic ingredients. Chocolate and comfort food are her passions.
