The restaurant itself is always clean and it is a great place to go for a breakfast or a pastry.
Old Town is based in Umhlanga New Town and I enjoy sitting near the deli section as it is not as loud as the front of the store.
As like many other places to eat, consistency is lacking and if you enjoy a meal here then the chances of having the exact same thing next time, is a little slim. Management seems to have changed here and there are some friendly faces and one or two managers that show interest.
Breakfast is not the only thing that I recommend because my mother asked me to join her for lunch one afternoon and she ordered a deli plate. Usually I would not order from a counter with food that has been sitting there all day but it is fresh and it is a good option for a variety. You can order a meat dish and two veggies which is tasty and fresh too!
I ordered a pasta which I had no expectations about but the sauce was very nice and it does have that taste that lacks in many restaurants....authentic Italian sauce, almost.
I will recommend it because it is an experience and you have to try it at least once.
My suggestion would be to either have a pastry or a breakfast and if you can take some of the deli meats and some bread home then it is worth it as it is always fresh.
I would give the butcher 10 points for cleanliness and knowledge on the products, the bakery 10 points for presentation but the deli foods need a little bit of a refresher as they often look a little tired.
For a concept store the attention to detail is phenomenal and the food is tasty and comes out quickly. The overall experience gets a thumbs up and it has become one of the places that I frequent for a breakfast or a pastry away from the noises of the city.
