On a recent visit to Kimberley (our first), we asked some folks for a lunch recommendation. One place they recommended was Nina's. I couldn't understand why they were concerned about the weather during the discussion, but I wanted to check it out anyway. I let Google Maps navigate us there and it brought us to a house on Spokane St. There were quite a few cars parked along the road, so I assumed we were in the right place. Seriously, if it wasn't for the cars, I might have thought Google Maps was taking us for a ride.
You walk up to the house and look right for the passage to the back. Down some stairs and you open into a beautiful garden. I'm not going to say much more - you have to experience it yourself. But yes, it's pretty much completely outdoors, so your experience will depend on the weather. I asked for a menu and it was explained to me that they only offer one pairing of food daily, a soup and a sandwich or just the sandwich. This day's offering was ham and brie on a Swiss bun and potato and leek soup. This is all made on premises by the cook, Roland. I met Roland and Nina after we ate. Such a pleasant couple.
The weather cooperated. Lunch was great. You know the food is good when you catch all the staff grabbing a bite here and there between visits to tables. The ambiance was super relaxing. So glad we found the place. Bring a camera. read more
