A friend invited
us to Knife for his birthday celebratory dinner. This was the first time I had
heard of Knife. I was quite surprised to discover that they’re located at Crystal
Towers by Canal Walk. Personally I would think that this is quite a difficult
location to be seen at, but I suppose they have the surrounding residence and
the hotel guests. We went on a chilly Saturday evening and the restaurant
wasn’t very busy. Earlier on in the week another friend asked me where we were
going for dinner. I still jokingly said Knife, you know Fork’s sister
restaurant! Much to my surprise I was actually spot on! J
I read up on Knife
a bit before we went, after which I really looked forward to going. I love meat
so I couldn’t wait to see all the awesomeness on their menu. By just looking at
the interior of the restaurant, you immediately know what type of restaurant
you are in. They have a lovely bar situated in the middle of the restaurant with
booths covering the one wall. There are blown up pictures of kid’s faces
covered in steak sauce up on the walls, while other walls are decorated with
animals showing their different cuts of meat.
The staff was
really friendly and very helpful. The manager even helped us choose a good
bottle of wine for the evening.
A few people at
our table ordered ribs. It was accompanied with a massive plastic apron, not a bib,
an apron! Hilarious!! Suppose this encourages you to eat it with your hands,
after which it’ll look like you need a bath!
For mains I had one of their specials, namely 200g Kudu medallions served with wilted spinach, green beans, roasted potatoes and a peppercorn sauce.

It was absolutely
divine! It was extremely tender and accompanied with a delicious peppercorn
sauce.
Unfortunately we
didn’t have dessert, although I was dying to try their baked cheesecake!
We will definitely
be back there next time and then I will ensure I get to taste their cheesecake!
This tasty experience has made me curious to try Fork, because if they are “related”
it can only be good!
Yours in fun
