A Mediterranean Feast for Friends at Rick’s Café Americain

Rick’s Café Americain is serving up the kind of platter that turns a casual catch-up into a full-on Mediterranean feast.

Designed for sharing, although no one would blame guests for keeping it to themselves, the Tapas Platter brings together a generous spread of bold flavours and comforting favourites for R225.

Set against the warm glow of Rick’s cosy interiors, complete with fireside ambience and laid-back evening energy, the experience feels equal parts relaxed and indulgent.

• The platter travels across land and sea with a mix of Lamb Kofte, Chicken Brochettes, spicy Chilli Poppers, Moroccan Fish Cakes and tender grilled Squid. Mediterranean staples like Greek Dolmades, Moroccan Cheese Parcels and Karoo Olives add even more variety to the table, while a trio of Tzatziki, Baba Ghanouj and Hummus keeps the dipping options fully covered.

Served with Chickpea and Tomato salsa alongside warm Pita Bread, the spread is built for passing plates, pouring drinks and settling in for a long, easy evening. The colourful presentation and mix of textures make it just as inviting visually as it is satisfying to eat.

Whether guests are stopping in for drinks with friends or planning a full evening around good food and conversation, the Tapas Platter at Rick’s Café Americain delivers a little Mediterranean escape without leaving the city.
