I expected a flurry of admonishing emails about the veal gaff in my last column which I was mortified to see in print, but surprised to find an empty Inbox. Either you thought it beneath you to respond to such silliness, or gave me the benefit of the doubt that the error was a simple slip of the lip. Either way, I apologise for it.
Pigalle is a fabulous location in which to celebrate. With a wingspan greater than most restaurants, the grandness of the former Green Point ice-rink encourages grand gestures and largess. Although not expensive of itself, (there is a minimum R100 spend on food per person), it is very possible to be drawn in by the superb service (the staff seem to glide about as if on ice skates) and grandeur of the venue, and order the seafood platter for two when the line fish was all you intended.
