Cafe Sofia is a new restaurant in Greenside. It is a Spanish Tapas restaurant with a few interesting main courses as well. They have 4 different Sangria 'cocktails'. We had the white Sangria (Sangria Sofia) which was very nice and refreshing. The wine list is limited but with a few excellent wines.
The menu is very well put together. They have a selection of twenty Sample plates to choose from. It will cost you from R99 - R200 depending on how many plates you choose. We had all twenty and that is was more that enough for 3 people. We could only manage 15 plates and decided to cancel the last five.
Then there is a Tapas menu with about 12 different plates. Then there is a main course menu, sandwich menu and then dessert Tapas.
I can honestly say that the food is really good. There were two samples that weren't to great but then again those were the type of things I don't normally like. Like Dolmades....... yuk, what is the deal with those things??? I just can't stand the taste or texture... eeuw!
We could not have dessert after all that food but it is actually a very simple menu. Dishes like chocolate and banana springrolls (with phyllo pastry) as well as cheeses with preserves.... nothing that really got my attention.
The owner is a typically European lady that takes no shit from anyone. She is polite and very good with the customers but she does not allow people to complain about silly things and I think there is nothing wrong with that. You need to stand your ground in this business because unfortunately the bigger half of South Africans are uncultured and think that they own the place if they spend R50!
Our bill came to R400 for 3 of us and that included 15 sample plates (and there is enough of everything for everyone to taste), a jug of Sangria Sofia, three cocktails and coffee. The coffee is really good and perfect to end a great meal. That is not bad at all and let me tell you we were stuffed! It is really worth a try!
