Mosaic At The Orient

Chantel’s seasonal menus – which change quarterly – are inspired by nature. She has travelled the world in search of inspiration and travels internationally at least twice a year to keep abreast of current trends. However, she is not a follower of ever changing fickle food fancies and prefers to stay true to her vision of contemporary-classical cuisine and finds most of her inspiration from the great masters of Europe. The food is based around Dégustation tasting menus, although it also offers a la carte. The restaurant’s new winter menu will be launched just after the Winter Solstice on 22 June. It will feature a selection of truly South African ingredients such as impala with madumbi puree, homemade brawn and bugu sauce and slow braised rabbit with marog. There is also a bit of a playful element to the menu with the Amuse-Guelle … all is not what it seems. Some of the old favourites from previous menus that guests keep coming back for are featured on the a la carte menu
