Fire roasted beetroot, goats cheese, whey sour onions, walnuts, honey comb and sour fig dressing form one of the signature dishes on our Epicurean À La Carte Menu.

The fire roasted beetroot lays the foundation with a concentrated and earthy flavour which is paired and balanced with the goats cheese. The whey sour onions bring a deeply savoury, complex flavour. The walnuts and honey comb contrast and elevate the texture of the dish and the sour fig dressing provides a vibrant savoury sweet edge that ties the dish together.

A celebration of Norwegian salmon on our Epicurean À La Carte Menu.

Delicately prepared Norwegian salmon is paired with vibrant mango salsa, bringing a bright, tropical freshness to the dish. A refined mussel beurre blanc adds depth and richness, while fig leaf oil introduces a subtle aromatic note. Finished with mango achar, the dish balances freshness, richness and gentle acidity in every bite.

A celebration of premium South African beef on our Epicurean À La Carte Menu.

Grass-fed beef fillet is paired with slow-braised short rib, bringing together two distinct expressions of the same ingredient. A light Parmesan espuma adds richness without weight, while pickled potato introduces a delicate acidity that cuts through the depth of the meat. Finished with freshly grated horseradish, the dish is lifted with a subtle heat.
