My second experience dining at R40 and it was still amazing! Tried different apps and mains, delicious 😋 My friend’s husband got the burger and we all took a bite- so so good! We have to go back to each get a burger of our own. I got the snapper which was delish and my friend got the chicken milanesa- wow, the greens on it were so tasty! Can’t wait to go back!
