Exuding contemporary sounds and a delicious a la carte menu, Jazz Maniacs Restaurant sets the mood with jazz of yesteryear. The menu brims with township fare and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner infused with classic jazz sounds and colourful cocktail coolers. Start with a Sweet Potato Cuppucino - lightly spiced sweet potato soup topped with foam and crispy sweet potato chips or Grilled Calamari - basted with butter, garlic and lemon herb sauce. The Chicken Caesar salad layered with strips of grilled chicken breast on a bed of lettuce dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg Worcestershire sauce and crushed black peppercorns and croutons is delicious on its own. For heartier meals try the Karoo Rosemary Garni Lamb Chops - pan-fried Karoo rack of lamb. Served with your choice of pap, rice pilaf or chips concluded with a Double Chocolate Pudding, accompanied by Hot Custard.
