Kerry-Anne took a photo of this unusual basin at Royale Eatery, a popular hamburger restaurant in Long Street. Unlike the title of this post may lead you to believe, we really do have proper basins in South Africa, really, we do. :)

On a side note, perhaps it's worth mentioning that even though I really enjoy Royale, I think it's best visited for lunch and not dinner. We found the upstairs section too noisy and cramped to allow for dinner conversation. During the day the downstairs section is beautiful, light and airy. The waitresses are friendly, efficient, and... well... pretty. :)
