Tasha’s Constantia has a style all its own. From the open plan eatery to its soft green and cream highlights, it’s completely unique to the V&A Waterfront branch. The gorgeous outside eating area is softly light by candle filled lanterns in the evening and the upbeat music drifts through and whisks you away from the hustle and bustle of Constantia Village. The outside seating area is a great setting for weekend brunch and summer lunches, while the quiet inside area is more appropriate for family dinner and when the weather is cooler. There are a lot of light meals to choose from as well as a great dinner menu which features everything from French Onion Soup to a fantastic selection of freshly baked goods.

For starters, I had to try the homemade French Onion Soup with melted gruyere croutons as it looked absolutely delicious. Cheesy, light and a wonderfully tasty starter, I would definitely recommend this dish on a cold evening or when you’re in the mood for something hearty. Served in an authentic brass pot, the best part is definitely the warm gruyere croutons. What a fragrant, warm French comfort dish!

For mains, I tried the Constantia Burger which is unique to this branch of Tashas. A 200g homemade beef burger with gorgonzola, bacon, lettuce, tomato and red onion served with French fried and mayo on a crispy sesame bun. The beef was wonderfully cooked and great tasting. Fries and mayo are another classic French take on the American style with ketchup and go very well with the Constantia burger. The gorgonzola is different and really adds a punch to the soft, melt-in-your-mouth bun.

For dessert, I had to try the Cheesecake and I wasn’t disappointed. Creamy, rich and oh, so indulgent, the light texture really compliments a well-rounded meal and is full of flavour. In fact, I’d recommend any of the freshly baked goods at Tasha’s Constantia as well as their unique Ice Cream parlour, located right next door.
