Must Visit
How do you prefer your fine dining experiences? Ocean-side, multi-course and multi-sensory with a view of the harbour’s constellation of lights? Or ensconced in wild and untamed yet opulent surroundings with a nitro espresso martini in your paw? Or how about in a luxurious poolside cabana, cocktails and tapas plates littering the table in front of you and your friends? Or an ubertrendy supper club, where you can dine, drink and then party in style? Well, whatever your particular preference or mood, there’s a place on the South African food scene to cater to it and here are some of the newbies we’re most excited about.
New additions to the SA foodie scene.
PIER RESTAURANT
Praise be, the La Colombe group has added another jewel to its crown of sensational restaurants; two, in fact! The first, PIER Restaurant, is located on the first floor of the Pierhead Building at the V&A Waterfront and offers an intimate, multi-course finedining experience in, truly, one of the city’s most beloved destinations. Step away from the chaos of the shopping district for an afternoon or evening of wave-upon-wave of ultra-fine, oceanside dining, accompanied by the iconic views the Cape Town harbour is adored for. Chef John NorrisRogers, previously of La Colombe and La Petite Colombe, is at the helm of the kitchen, so diners can expect genuine haute cuisine. Think oysters poached in local MCC, Thai-style tuna with furikake, and nitrogenpoached citrus fruit to cleanse your palate. PIER Restaurant will send you home reeling with the artistry and table-side theatre of it all. V&A Waterfront, Cape Town www.pier.restaurant
