While I far prefer the post-apocalyptic location of the Joburg CBD to Cape Town's Old Biscuit Mill, the standard of the food I ate this weekend at the pop-up was far from what I had so eagerly anticipated. It is my sad opinion that there isn't much of a comparison. I do, however, know something about food - and I've eaten at the original Pot Luck Club so am in a position to compare. But they seemed good and everyone clapped after each song. I know nothing about music, so I can't appraise the band that played while we ate.

The menu may essentially be the same as down south but the vibe is totally up north. lunch & dinner - monday to saturday brunch - sunday silo top floor, the old biscuit mill, 373 375 albert road woodstock, cape town e. You can expect favourites like peri peri chicken, fish sliders and smoked beef fillet with black pepper and truffle cafe au lait served in beautiful earthy crockery. Hosted by the trendy new Marabi Club in New Doornfontein, this pop-up is serving a truncated and slightly adapted Pot Luck Club menu. So when the respected Pot Luck Club, by world famous chef Luke Dale-Roberts, does the favour of trekking some Cape Town coolness up to the escarpment it is with great excitement that the hungry greet the news of their arrival. Why, we ask ourselves, are most of the great places to eat in the Cape? Sometimes it feels like Joburg is in a foodie famine.
