Restaurant Mosaic at The Orient

Food:

Fantasy Forest and Corbeille de Fleur (flower basket) are the kind of titles former chef of the year Chantel Dartnall gives her dishes on the winter menu. It’s her kind of food and the presentation and taste sensations will tickle all the senses. But there’s a practicality too, captured best in the potted wild mushroom soup and guinea fowl pie with morel sauce. She’s innovative, ingenious and captures the imagination of those who fall for her culinary wizardry.

Wine:

They boast a wine cellar of note.

Service:

It took a while to get there, but now they have the finest staff functioning sweetly together.

Ambience:

You have to succumb to the fantasy of The Orient while you have your amuse-bouche under the open sky. They have many different settings, depending on whether you’re staying the night or are simply a dinner guest. Warm evenings offer even more options and the outdoors breakfast in the pretty courtyard is quite splendid after a night of cuisine fantasy.

And...:

Visit on those special occasions for the extraordinary venue, food and geniality. (DdeB, October 2011)

I'd like to commend Chantel and her team on an exceptional meal. My friend

and I left the restaurant very inspired. The beautifully served delicacies

were really of a good standard, the pricing extremely reasonable, and we've

both eaten at very good restaurants in many cities around the world.

The ambience created by The Orient gave the experience an oasis like

quality, a hidden treasure after a drive into the unknown.

I can't wait to come back to share this newfound secret with others.

What a wonderfully joyous experience all round, the food was superlative,

the staff were fantastic, and the setting was conducive to allowing us the

opportunity to have an incredible celebration of a special person. As a team

they create a thing of great beauty and joy that reflect the foundations of

"passion, consistency and simplicity" as Chantel describes in her commitment to

patrons.

We really enjoyed dinner at Mosaic on Saturday evening. It was truly world-class. Chantel's passion and creativity really shone through! The presentation of the food (artwork in itself), the quality, the different taste sensations, the great ambience - all made it the perfect evening. Thank's to Chantel for going out of her way to prepare the special vegan menu for us. It was an extraordinary gastronomic experience for us. Hmnnnn those caramelized veg kebabs and the aubergine cornet were so good and that red pepper sauce with the roasted veggies was devine! And of cause the mouthwatering risotto, yummy. And to top it all, the heavenly chocolate tower surprise! She far outdid herself and lived up to her title of chef extraordinaire!
