one.waterfront restaurant at the Cape Grace
A
restaurant uniquely glamorous, uniquely atmospheric, uniquely delicious
and uniquely South African: one that could not possibly exist elsewhere.
On
the vibrant Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, adjacent to the
international yacht marina with a spectacular view of the world famous
Table-Mountain, the restaurant will feature creative, imaginative, and
modern food with a distinct South African influence - reflecting the
high quality and cutting edge style of Cape Grace.
one.waterfront,
which replaces the hotels previous restaurant, will greet visitors with
a new design and a new menu, in addition to a new name. |
Interior
designer Francois du Plessis attributes his concept of the restaurant
to Bill Blass, one of Jaqueline Kennedy's favorite designers, who said
"When you walk into a space, it must be a voyage of discovery - nothing
should dominate and overpower, everything should be in harmony and a
space where the visitor takes time to discover the wonderful details"
Thus
upon entering one.waterfront, visitors are instantly drawn into a
plush, warm, and inviting ambience created by earthy tones and works by
local artists.
The decor and cuisine
complementone another. Executive chef Bruce Robertson's approach to
food is passionate, innovative, and highly creative - he terms his
style of cooking "fusion innovation."
Trained
by some of London's finest chefs at the Ritz and Lanesborough Hotels,
the Michelin-starred restaurant Petrus, and the Belfry. Robertson
joined Cape Grace after working as head chef at Boulders in South
Africa's Singita Game Reserve, where he developed and honed his
creative style of cooking.
His love of South
African cuisine is evident in the way he combines ingredients that
blend the African, European, and Southeast Asian cultures that have
come together to create today's South Africa. The new menu will include
uniquely South African creations such as :
- Crayfish Tail Grilled with Cape Malay Spices
- Tandoori Butterfish
- Fillet of Ostrich
- Poprt Braised Springbok Shank
- Study of Lemons
Downstairs,
Cape Grace's popular Bascule Whisky Bar and Wine cellar, which offers
the largest malt whisky collection (over 375 varieties!) south of the
Equator, is the perfect place for a drink before or after dinner. |
