THE BEST DINNER AND MOST CHARM OF ANY RESTAURANT IN SOUTH AFRICA!

An unforgetable food and cultural experience which will shape the taste of South African cuisine in years to come - wonderful flavours and blends. Thank you.

Hi Peter en Johan
Ek wil net weereens vir julle dankie sê vir ‘n “splendiferous” aand by Emily’s.
Nie net het almal se monde oop gehang met elke dis wat bedien is nie maar elkeen het gesê dat die “plek” self so spesiaal is en so verwelkomend en warm is met baie CLASS!!.
Julle is PROFESSIONALS – en julle ken julle storie - end of story.
Maar dis die menslike and persoonlike aspekte wat ek soveel van julle waardeer.
Sterkte met die veranderings – O jirretjie tog!!
Ek sal julle aan die einde van die maand bel om te hoor of julle nog met mekaar praat en wie ookal (ek bedoel bouers) vermoor is.

Dear Peter and Johan,
Now that the two "bokkies" have celebrated your birthdays and we are firmly ensconced in our work back in Germany, we would just like to take the opportunity to touch sides again. We also want to say a very big THANK YOU to the both of you and your team for such and splendid and delicious meal. Rainer and my mom are still singing the praises of the springbok carpaccio and wine combination. The wine that you chose for this first course, Peter, must have been simply stunning in its match with the carpaccio with a strawberry note. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you , reflecting and philosophizing about South African cuisine and Cape Town's gastronomic developments. We hope you enjoyed it too, because that means we will be certainly look you up again for more of the same - beside popping in to sample more Emily's Cuisine.
Thank you for a very special time. All the best.
Dr Carola Strassner, Geschäftsfürende Gesellschafterin

Cape Town says this is one of the TOP TEN RESTAURANTS, but to us, this was one of the TOP FIVE MEALS of our life! We raise our glass of superior South African wine to the chef, the wait staff and everyone else that was involved in a very memorable night. Thank you.

The best meal in South Africa . . . by far!

Dear Peter and Johan,
It is hard to beleive that Pat and Andrew's wedding took place a month ago - it only seems a few days ago to us. We think this is indicative of a good wedding, when the memories makes the ti me disappear.

And it WAS a good wedding, thanks in a large measure to your participation and efforts. There were so many things that the two of you did to make it a very special occasion. We would mention the very attractive flower arrangements, the table settings, the fantastic wedding cake, the food (which all the guests enjoyed immensely), but there were many more aspects that you had a hand in. You did Pat and Andrew proud, and we know they will remember that day for the rest of their lives.

We want you to know that we appreciate all of this, so please accpet our thanks for all of this.

Best regards,
Alison and Mike Russel

WE LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE MEMORABLE DINNERS. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

JUST AS GOOD AS WHEN WE CAME HERE TWO YEARS AGO. WELL RECOMMENDED. GOOD MEMORIES.

Beste Peter en Johan
Waar vind ek woorde om te beskryf hoe spesiaal die Chaîne des Rôtisseurs ete gisteraand was. Emily's het ons betower.

Bruce het gepraat van 'n "explosive, explorative" gastronomiese ervaring, van die beste wat hy ooit in Suid-Afrika geniet het. Raak opgesom! Die speelsheid, die intelligente en deurdagte samestelling van die geregte, wat wye draaie geloop het - van anosterbos, deur die Karoo tot diep in Afrika. Die wyn so sorgvuldig daarmee gepaar. En dan nog die klavierspel, die kristalkandelare en warmte van julle gasvryheid. Alles het saamgewerk tot 'n triomfantelike aand.

'n Baie spesiale dankie aan die res van Emily's se mense - Andrew en die miniskule kombuisbrigade, asook die flink diensspan.

Letitia Prinsloo, Bailli du Cap, Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

Liewe P&J
Net om te sê: dit was heerlik om weer by julle spesiale plek te kuier, en dis beter as ooit.
En amper nog lekkerder: om vir julle te sien.
Alle voorspoed en nog meer sukses

Baie dankie vir 'n uitstekende maaltyd - fees van geure!!
Die "medley"van smake was 'n verrassing en ons het dit baie spesiaal ervaar, veral op die geleentheid ter viering van my dogeter se gradeplegtigheid. Ons wens julle baie geluk met julle toekenning wat julle in Junie in Parys gaan ontvang!! WELVERDIENDE BELONING. Dit bly maar vir my en my familie 'n inspirasie om hier by julle "'n gastronomiese opkikker" te kom kry. Groete,
Derek en Annelie van der Merwe. (Hoof Uitvoerde Bestuurder, V&A Waterfront, Kaapstad.)
