Presentation:
Infuze is a small urban hideaway where the emphasis is on food and
good value. In the daytime there are some delightful and unusual
snacks with quality in mind. They serve all day breakfasts with
in the case of the eggs benedict home-made sauce there and then.
My colleague who joined me for a late breakfast says the food was
really good and it is great but unusual to have the meal served
on a hot plate. The coffee they serve is Underground coffee which
lands on the taste buds beautifully. Open on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights as well. Other nights for private parties. Their
menu usually changes every week so you can be a regular customer
and have fresh delights everytime!!! And I might add that the price
does not creep up everytime the menu changes like some places I
have visited...... And the food cabinet gets you salivating.....
Wine List:
Quite a small and very adequate list. Chef takes great interest
in suggesting the right wine with the food you have choosen.
Value for
Money:
I consider this place to have very
good value for money for the quality and amount served. You most
definitely should not go home hungry
Ambience:
The place itself I found a little too contemporary for my taste
but who cares when company and food is great. I really must go there
on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night to give the taste buds a
real birthday!!
The feel
good factor:
I have said it all above....
I'm going back....
