Foo d Acclaimed chef Carly
Gonçalves gives classic cooking
an inventive modern twist with
a menu that celebrates the fresh
and the seasonal. Relish the
likes of a spicy Thai prawn cake
tossed in sesame ginger and roast
jalapeño aioli, or a spectacular
range of seafood that includes the
ever-popular Alaskan crab on corn
panna cotta. For mains, try a welljudged
fillet served on oxtail risotto,
or the superb crispy duck served
with sweet potato and butternut
mash and a cinnamon orange
demi-glaze. Don’t skip dessert: the
bread and butter pud is divine.
Wine A good, well-chosen list that
takes in the South African grandees
as well as the Cape less travelled.
Some boutiques and fresh faces.
Service Exceptional: the service is
informed, efficient and unobtrusive.
Ambience This minimalist modern
bistro is warmed by soft lighting
and stylish furnishing.
And… Booking is essential. (FC)
