It all began in the year 1997 when Turquoise Cottage started operations. Every restaurant is a combination of three factors: location, ambience and food, but Turquoise Cottage soon developed a fourth – the X Factor. It was – and is – that which pulled in the punters. Gigs, a first-rate sound system, a lively buzz thanks to the media and advertising people who patronized it, and above all, a cool vibe. It is no mean feat to keep on the same vibe almost 20 years later when competition overwhelms and when the original patrons are now senior citizens, but a court case and several moves later, the vibe is still in place!
