Frommer's Review
A delicious buffet of eight great salads (roasted beetroot and feta, for example, or baby tomatoes dredged in balsamico with fresh basil and coriander, or pesto-soaked carpaccio with green leaves), a selection of two to three delicious quiches (if you're lucky, roasted vegetables and cream cheese is one), and two pasta dishes (spinach and ricotta, beef chorizo and chile), as well as a selection of the best cakes and tarts in town make this one of Kloof Street's most popular eateries (and one of the best delis in town). A window bar is stacked full of magazines (ideal for solitary diners), but table seating is limited, so try to get here early. Self-service only. Everything in the well-stocked Continental deli is delicious, and it's ideal for picnics or healthful hotel-room snacks. No wonder Melissa's has now expanded to four stores.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
