to complete the dining experience with their attentive service. Glancing at the impressive and comprehensive menu, it’s clear that Maximillien wanted to offer their diners something unique and exotic as the classic Mediterranean dining and chic South African flair converge to revolutionise the art of dining.
“EVERY MEAL BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED AND THE DIVERSE OPTIONS MAY LEAVE YOU WITH SOME DIFFICULT CHOICES” As the Maximillien restaurant puts it: “Unlike many other ethnic cuisines, Mediterranean cuisine is not the product of a specific ethnic group or culture. Rather, it is a label referring to the culinary trends shared by a diverse array of peoples that live in the region around the Mediterranean Sea. The sunny, mild Mediterranean climate yields an agricultural bounty that heavily influences the vegetabledominant cuisines of the region. One of the key elements in the Mediterranean diet - along with olive oil and bread - is wine. Wherever the Greeks, and later the Romans, went in their efforts to conquer the Medi-
terranean world, they took along wine and the grapes to produce it.” It’s no wonder then, that with this kind of thinking in mind, that Maximillien’s Wine list recently won Platinum award from Diners Club. Every meal beautifully presented and the diverse options may leave you with some difficult choices to make as to what to have. But one thing is for certain, the meal will leave your taste buds tantalised and your mouth-watering for more thanks to the rich aromas and heart-warming flavours.

One would certainly agree that Jozi people do love their meat! Envision a mouth-watering steak with crunchy, paper thin French fries and a moist, thickened sauce to top it all off…
“MEAT IS MEAT AND A MAN MUST EAT” Well there is terrific news! HQ (Headquarters) Restaurant offers just that. The concept of this restaurant is so exclusive and intuitive that the only option on the “menu” is a single meal of salad, sirloin and chips!

EDITORS CHOICE: NEETHLINGSHOF LAUNCHES ITS FIRST WOODED WHITE which is today a national monument. She completed the building with the help of her farm workers and with her own hands sculpted in the gable six flowers as a decorative element. The flowers were for her a subtle way of commemorating herself and her five children. Winemaker De Wet Viljoen said he wanted to extend the estate’s product line-up with a top-quality wooded white wine which would be complex and well balanced.”I think this wine offers exactly that. Chenin blanc and Chardonnay dominate the blend with 30% each, followed by Sauvignon blanc (20%) and Viognier (10%). The wine has been rounded off with the addition of small quantities of Gewürztraminer and Weisser Riesling.
“THE IMPROVED QUALITY OF THE GRAPES COMES THROUGH VERY STRONGLY IN THE NEW WINE”
T
he Neethlingshof estate outside Stellenbosch has launched its first wooded white wine, a blend of the six white cultivars that grow on the farm. Called The Six Flowers, it forms part of the estate’s exclusive Short Story Collection range which includes two reds – The Owl Post Pinotage and The Caracal Bordeaux blend - in addition to The Maria, its much awarded noble late harvest wine. The Maria was named for Maria Marais, the feisty widow of Charles Marais who dominated life on Neethlingshof for close on 50 years in the early 1800s. She is indirectly also responsible for the name of the new wine.
“A BLEND OF SIX WHITE CULTIVARS THAT GROW ON THE FARM” She and her husband bought the property in 1788. He died 25 years later, in 1813, leaving her the farm and the care of their five children. At the time of his death they were building their beautiful homestead

“With this wine we also celebrate the completion of the comprehensive, scientifically based replanting of the entire estate which has been on the go for more than a decade. By choosing the correct location for each cultivar and by selecting the best clones for each, it has been possible to noticeably enhance the natural flavour and aroma of the grapes we harvest today. The improved quality of the grapes comes through very strongly in the new wine.” De Wet said the grapes of the different cultivars were vinified separately and then matured for eight months in new French oak barrels before blending. The wine, which sells for about R80 per bottle, can at present be bought only on the estate and from the Vinoteque, but will in time be available nationally. Neethlingshof marketing manager Anabelle Fouché said the flowers depicted on the label belong to the Hesperantha family. Widely dispersed in especially the indigenous Renosterveld vegetation of the Western Cape, they are also known as evening flowers. They were chosen to also commemorate the extensive work done during the replanting programme to re-establish the rich diversity of indigenous vegetation which in years gone by had flourished on Neethlingshof.

VOVO TELO Cobbles Centre, 4th Avenue, Parkhurst 011 447 5939 www.vovotelo.com It all began with hunger on a beach in Madagascar.

And so the name Vovo Telo was born, taken from a place and a moment in time where the inspiration first took hold.

“THIS FAMILY ORIENTATED DELI AND RESTAURANT OFFERS COMFORT FOOD DONE IN A DELI STYLE & NON-CONFORMING FASHION” Eating should be all about the culinary experience and exploring a variety of flavours. That’s why at Feastt Café, they offer exactly that. Wholesome food, made from quality natural ingredients so you get to enjoy the rich contrast of tastes at reasonable prices. The hip eatery is all about family and being together, hence offering diners an alfresco child friendly environment where young and old can relish in the café’s atmosphere and alluring menu as Feastt embraces a move towards wholesomeness and local seasonal food. The menu is adapted to support this seasonally on a monthly basis.
