Such a pity , hash brown with chorizo sounded so good . Potatoe was undercooked - still hard , the Cumin was so strong I could not taste anything else. Surely the chef never tasted the sauce . Crying shame !

This little tucked away restaurant in Gilletts never fails to deliver on service and superior quality food. Today it was lunch for 2, and the lunch was superb taste, portion was just right and presentation elegant. On previous occasions I have had table for 16...with visitors from France and everyone raved about the food. Well done guys keep it up.More

Dinner with friends We decided to catch a quick bit after our Body Corporate meeting. Some trustees some not. Well what a surprise as I had only had breakfast at this establishment and had no knowledge of their evening offering. We were stunned at the...detail and top end presentation. I ordered fillet steak medium rare which was on point and absolutely perfect. My wife ordered gnocchi which was also to die for. Light and beautifully balanced flavours. We typically share a bite of each other’s food so I can vouch for her meal too. We took our own wine and surprise surprise, there was no corkage charge. What a breath of fresh air! In a word stunning!More

First visit and WOW were truly impressed. Great venue, friendly, efficient staff and awesome food. I started with a Potato soup, deeeelicious, best I've ever had and my partner had the Ostrich starter which he also loved. Mains were Line fish for me, which was...tasty and just fell apart. My partner had the Pork Belly and practically licked the plate, it was that good. We then shared the cheese platter to end off a wonderful evening........Cheese Platter very yummy 😋🧀🥖🍯. Definitely recommend and will be back 💖More

Were looking forward visiting this new restaurant based on the photos and the menus but found what could only be described as over promised and under delivered. Food presentation is excellent but taste was average. The starter of mushroom risotto balls were the best part...if the meal. The tomato purée for my main unfortunately overpowered any other flavour in the dish and hubby also said his pork belly was average. For dessert we had blueberry cheesecake deconstructed. Again presentation awesome. Unfortunately the white chocolate cremeaux tasted like raw dough. Other people seemed to be enjoying their food and the ambience were lively. We may just hv had a bad night and as i said average food when we expected more.More

I have eaten at 3603 (and its predecessor, Parc) many a time. Each and every time we walk away satisfied with our meal, our favorite is the mushrooms from the breakfast menu and the chocolate orange milkshake (with pieces of candied orange peel)

Another wonderful meal. The line fish was sublime. Thanks for the two little treats that were so enjoyed. Service was great. It was good to see the restaurant full…. But please could something be done about the sound/ acoustics. It is difficult to hear each...other talk, one ends up talking louder… so sound just escalates. This distracts from dining experience unfortunatelyMore

I have only visited twice and had breakfast on bot occasions, so one may say I have experienced a limited amount of their offering? The first time with a friend I had the “ half English breakfast” which comes with a capuchin one egg anyway,...bacon, tomato and home made bread toasted, I chose rye and it was perfect. The second visit, yesterday, I ordered the mushrooms on toast, again rye which is baked in-house and again I was taken with the exquisite flavours in the mushroom mix and also a poached egg soft and as I ordered. The real positive is the don’t make the bread/toast the center but rather the carrier of the mushrooms so your carb intake is limited and the focus is mushrooms and a glorious runny egg. Top class dining in our village, do well people we need you to be here for many years to come.More

Being my forth visit for both lunch and dinner. I was expecting a treat as before. Unfortunately this was not to be. I ordered the Pork Belly which I have had before. As a background this is not a cheap restaurant and offers fine dinning...so portion sizes are very small. My pork belly arrived with two small squares of belly. The first was absolutely delicious. As I cut into the second I found it to be 75% fat with a 2cm thick layer of inedible fat covering the entire square. I picked my way around the fat, not wanting to spoil the evening for the rest , however my friend who was with us noticed and insisted on calling over the waiter. The waiter hussled off apologetically to tell the chef. But the owner/chef never made an appearance but sent another waiter to do his bidding. He asked what he could do to make it right. So far so good, I suggested replacing the piece so that I could at least get something to eat. He returned shortly after saying that they couldn't replace it as the same could occur with the replacement piece, and that there was nothing they could do but apologize. Later after desert when I called for the bill I checked to see whether they had charged me in full. They had and what's more they had charged for an extra bottle of sparkling water. (Which they later removed). Really spoiled the evening. The least they could have done was 1. The owner/ chef could have come over and explained / apologized. 2. They could have offered me something else to eat. 3. If the kitchen was closed they could have offered a discount on the meal. Funny how easily you can chase your customers away.More

Parc Restaurant, in Glenwood Durban, had been a big family favourite for breakfast and lunch ever since it had opened. So when Brett and Lara closed Parc to open 3603 in Gillitts we had to visit. Most definitely worth the trip from Durban, Johannesburg and...London to have dinner at 3603. Dinner was not previously an option at Parc so it was very much a new experience. The best of the Parc experience was still there, top quality food, excellent preparation and great service but now with the option of being packaged in a dinner option, which presented full three courses with innovative options. Quite frankly I rate this on a par with any dining option in South Africa, definitely highly recommended for breakfast, lunch and now dinner.More

We have eaten here quite often, when it was Parc and now in the new premises. We have always loved the food, especially the mushroom or salmon eggs benedict. Today we decided to try something different and shared the vegan nachos and the french toast....Without a doubt both were some of the most delicious meals we have had in a long time. Outstanding combination of flavours. We will be counting the days till we can come back for these two dishes! Can't recommend a visit highly enough!!More
