The Le Quartier Français GM and Restaurant Manager

Some Le Quartier Français guests organised a Range Rover stretch limo to take them to the Holland vs. Uruguay Semifinal.

Our General Manager and Restaurant Manager were invited to sit in the back and, as you can imagine, they couldn’t possibly pass up that opportunity.

Le Quartier Français has been nominated for a Virtuoso Best of the Best Award!

We have been selected as a Most Socially Responsible, nominee for our Mrs. Ndaba initiative, in the fourth annual Virtuoso Best of the Best Awards.

This is the second Best of the Best Awards we’ve been nominated for. In the inaugural Best of the Best awards, 4 years ago, we were lucky enough to win the Best Culinary Experience Category.

We are very excited and humbled to be included in this year’s Best of the Best Awards Most Socially Responsible category. Our Mrs. Ndaba initiative is a project that has proven to be completely awe-inspiring. It has been amazing to witness, first hand, how many good and generous people there are in world who are all looking for sustainable ways to change the lives of those in need.

Thank you to Mr and Mr Monday, Mr Tuesday, Meneer Wednesday, Mr and Mrs Thursday, Mr and Mrs Friday, Daf (who ran the 2010 Comrades Marathon for Mrs. Ndaba) and everyone else who has made it possible for us to feed 68 toddlers – everyday of the week – for the next year!

The Best of the Best Awards ceremony, takes place on Wednesday the 18th of August at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. During this ceremony all the nominees, in their respective categories, and the 10 overall category winners will be celebrated.

Proudly South African

Who would have believed that Bafana Bafana would beat France 2 – 1? What an exceptional and exciting game!

It was amazing to see how much spirit and life Bafana Bafana invested in their World Cup 2010 effort. Even in last night’s final match against France they put up a real fight, they did not go quietly and they reminded our country men and women what it means to be South African.

We have never been prouder; thank you Bafana Bafana!

If you need something to pick you up and motivate you for the remainder of the 2010 World Cup we suggest that you watch this Power Point presentation from the guys over at Homecoming Revolution.
