Lazari – Vredehoek

Today we went off to explore new ‘territories’ and were desperately conquered! It was war with the food and the food was indeed victorious!

Lazari is a tiny little restaurant (they call it a food gallery) at the corner of Upper Maynard & Vredehoek. I would gladly recommend it to my friends with sweet toothes & lighter skin!

Yeh, if you’re of a darker skin; expect little waitering service – a less than lukewarm reception is what we got. I suspect its a community restaurant where everyone knows everyone. Our being there might’ve spoilt many an appetite.

I had ‘flap jacks & bacon’ for the first time ever! They were just phenomenally awesome!! I’ll try that combination again soon I hope! After I get the calories lecture of course… Wifey had her usual omellete which she loved dearly.

I’m not too keen on going back there; but I think wifey might drag me back there (She loved the community feel; though we’re not yet welcome in it!! ).

    Hi there

    I dont know what your name is, as you do not have it on your site, but what **** you are talking indeed. Lazaris people do not discriminate against people of colour in any way. I know the owner personally and I have black friends who go there often, and they have never experienced any discrimination at all.

    I have experienced very slow waitering service there on several occasions, so I do not think you should attribute it to the colour of your skin.

    Gardens/Vredehoek is also a very cosmopolitan neighborhood and I have never seen any people of colour being treated the way you describe. It could be that people were stunned by the chip on your shoulder.
