Braai House

I had the scallops, lamb, and fries. The food was delicious, my only complaint was serving size. The server could have used some more personality. All in all, good experience.

My wife and I dined here before seeing a show at the Avon Theatre last night. We had made reservations at the Chefs table and noted on the reservation that it was for a special occasion as we were there to celebrate a birthday.

Upon entering we were impressed by the aesthetic and overall ambiance. Beautiful restaurant and the Chefs table provided a unique view of the kitchen.

We were seated by our hostess and welcomed by our server. It was disappointing that neither the hostess or server knew about our special occasion that we made sure to mention in the reservation, nor cared to ask.

They were serving a fixed menu that had options that were very appealing. We started with drinks and chose to add the fries as a starter and they were excellent. I was pleasantly surprised they had stout on tap and my wife had a cocktail which she quite enjoyed.

We decided on the scallops and tuna dishes to start. They were both delicious and we would recommend them. Wonderful flavours and textures with just the right kick. We both followed our starters with the ribeye steak which was disappointing to say the least. It was much tougher than it should be for a restaurant of this standard and the flavour didn't taste anything like ribeye. My wife commented half way through that she was certain it was sirloin. We decided to skip dessert at that point and to move on.

Overall we had a good time, but if we were to return, we would avoid the set menu and look to the tasting plates. Being let down by the steak and lacklustre service definitely soured our impression. It just wasn't the memorable experience we were hoping for.

We were visiting Stratford to watch a show and had no idea how seriously the food was here. We decided trying Braai house on a beautiful Friday evening. We were seated in their patio. As we sat down, our server introduced himself (cant remember his name) and was very friendly and warm. He brought us 2 glasses of complimentary sparkling wine as we were celebrating a birthday. Really made us feel special.
The menu was the Prix Fix and from start to finish it was fantastic!
The dishes were beautifully presented and all the flavours went very well. Our favorite dish would be the Ribeye. It was an awesome experience and will absolutely be coming back when we visit Stratford.

Wow! The food really wowed me. And the the atmosphere and service were equally good. What really amazed me each person in our party tried a different main and each was spectacular! Especially the vegetarian curry-a standout!! We shared a bottle of the Shiraz, which was equally spectacular. Truly an amazing dinner. Highest recommendation. You will not be disappointed.”

This establishment came highly recommended to me so I had to try it hence the food Enthusiast in me. It is classy and elegant dining indoors and on the patio highlighting South African dishes with a twist. We had the prix fixe menu and everything was intelligently prepared. Every bite of whatever you ordered is hands down an explosion in the mouth, you can taste all the individual spices and it's not overpowering by any means. Chefs are 10 out of 10, don't change anything 👍. Staffs are very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about Stratford, the menu and the Spirits. Will be back in a heartbeat to try other dishes on the menu.

We had an awesome experience at Braai House. The customer service is simply outstanding. We made reservations online to sit at the bar before catching a show at the Avon theatre around the corner. Before our reservation, the restaurant called us to explain how the restaurant works (they have a prefix 2 or 3 course meal before the theatre), and mentioned that because we were seated at the bar we had the option of ordering from their pizza menu too (only available after 7pm elsewhere in the restaurant).

When we arrived, we were seated promptly and had a great view of the whole restaurant. The bartender, Joel, surprised us with campaigne on the house because it was my husband 's birthday. That was a nice touch. Even better, after ordering our drinks, Joel noticed that my husband was having an alcohol free night and offered him a tonic instead of the champagne. That was most appreciated! Sitting at the bar gave us a great view of Joel mixing all of the drinks. That was a lot of fun. We ordered the Cape Town pizza and fries. Both we outstanding!

Thanks to Joel and to everyone at Braai for a great experience. We will be back!!!

Modern and stylish spot located on second floor. We were in town to see a play and found via Google search. We were excited to try some of the South African dishes but arrived to find a very abbreviated prix fix menu along with some pizza as the only offering. Despite this our large party ordered many of the dishes and found them interesting and well presented. We felt the best were the bbq shrimp and curried squash. We thought maybe a grill house who offer platters of steak but they were more like tasting dishes. Nonetheless rather tasty and good value for money. Service was ok but not amazing.

Was just blown away by this place. It has to be the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten in. It was a culinary experience, with a Michelin level chef. All the food was well balanced, with sweet, sour, and salty notes. The sauces were phenomenal. Each dish has several elements and the chef makes an effort to add a crunch factor to each dish. The food was truly phenomenal.
