Tucked in a neighbourhood sports complex with a dated and rustic interior, you’d be forgiven to think that Out of Africa would simply be your average, run-of-the-mill restaurant. Serving South African soul food with exotic but delicious-sounding creations such as the Ostrich Carpaccio and Tongue Kalahari (pan-seared ox tongue with mustard sauce), it’s the chef’s special and most-written-about Venison Pie that blew my mind here. Crispy, golden pastry casing packed with a delicious filling of medium cubes of succulent venison in delicious mushroom gravy… this is comfort food at its best. Totally unexpected melt-in-your-mouth goodness, nailing great flavour and texture. Who would have thought!
Couple this with the fact that the restaurant is child-friendly with a playground on deck, and a Kudu bar with live sports on screen for the adults, this really could be anyone’s favourite hang out spot.
