Everyone loves to party at Salsa in Illovo. This bodacious restaurant has reinvented fun with jazzy days, lazy days, dress up nights, city lights, dancing queens and in betweens. But if you’ve never been before then expect great service, delicious food and good wine – their fabulous shows are legendary but not the subject of this particular piece. We’re talking soup and Joburgers in-the-know know that one of the best soups in town is the Salsa, one and only, Can’t Walk Straight Prawn and Crab Bisque and yes we did ask for the recipe but frankly it was far too complicated so here’s their equally fabulous but not quite as exotic Chunky Tomato and Roasted Pepper Soup recipe. Enjoy! And if you must have the Can’t Walk Straight then visit them at198 Oxford Road, Illovo, Call: 011 447 3868
