Nezesaussi has great grub, but aesthetically it’s an odd thing. It feels rather like the Al Manzil Hotel ordered a grubby sports bar online, but upon opening the wrapping they found they’d received something classier, and had to step up the rest of it to match. As a result, the bar has the TV screens, cheesy memorabilia and middle-aged, glassy-eyed punters of a standard sports bar, but also a fancy cooking station and sizeable wine rack. Perhaps as a result of this, they’ve hidden it away at the side of the hotel, behind a café that interested punters must walk through. Still, if you get past the confused decor, you’ll find a lot to recommend here. The staff are prompt and attentive without being suffocating, and the food – a mix of South African and Australian-themed dishes, including the morbidly fascinating-sounding ‘monkey gland’ sauce – is, on the whole excellent, if a little pricey. And no, the sauce isn’t actually made from monkey glands, it’s just a type of barbecue sauce. Phew!
