The Corner Bar

Came here for lunch on a Sunday with a large group. We booked a table for 10 people and when we arrived. All the small tables are separate and no other customers. So we have to ask them to combine tables for us even we have booked. It’s a tapa place which their menu are designed for sharing. So we order many plate however I only manage to take photo of a few as my friends are too quick when comes to eating! Haha
Food is okay. I must say service is far from good. For the price I would rather go to other tapas place which IA had much better experience…

I recently ventured out to The Corner in Howick for lunch. What a great spot for something to eat. Its a very chic with modern interior however just lacked a brighter natural light.
Again another eatery offering tapas style meals, but also with a huge selection of specials on offer. We were told to try the garlic pretzel bread, and I would recommend this loaf to anyone whose a fan of garlic bread! So warm and soft and served with half a roasted garlic too. The corner is not a place where you are trying to watch your weight. Also sharing gourmet chippies, cajun shrimp tacos and sashimi special. The gourmet chips were a tad disappointing, purely because I am a fan of the thick cut chips and when a menu item says ‘gourmet’ I dunno but I expect big handout chips. The sashimi was a great option to balance out the heaviness of the other dishes we ordered and flavour was good. The prawn tacos didn’t shout amazing but at least they were cooked perfectly.
I think The Corner is a great place for some greasy bites and a good olé beer. The service is great. Food was efficient and the girl was very informative with all questions. The only suggestion I would make is to remove the specials off the mirror, because if you’re sitting at a table, you can’t see them unless you stand up and walkover to read them. Its just a tad awkward.
