Grub & Vine Bree Street: One Address, Four Celebrations

Chef Matt Manning and crew are opening the doors of 103 Bree Street on a Sunday (a rare occurrence) for Mother’s Day this year, and have planned a whole host of ways for you to spend some quality time with your mom. Tuck into the four-course lunch menu at Grub & Vine, pair dim sum and bubbly at Culture (or get creative with a pre-Mother’s Day paint-and-sip evening), get your aprons on for an interactive cooking and dining experience at The Chef’s Studio, or go for brunch and live music at The Blue Room. Seriously good grub and some blazingly good wine pairings are on the menu – whichever option you choose.

Mother’s Day lunch at Grub & Vine

The elegant Grub & Vine bistro with windows looking out over Bree Street is the perfect place for an all-out lunch spoil. For the occasion Matt and team are serving a four-course lunch (with optional wine-pairings) that kicks off with canapés of chicken mayo blinis and gem squash arancini with bacon jam. Then choose between starters of tuna tartare with potato rosti and béarnaise sauce, or wild mushroom pie with sage, caramelised onions and parmesan. For mains, it’s chicken boudin blanc and butter bean cassoulet, or roast hake with celeriac and smoked snoek pistou. And then go for a sweet finale of toasted coconut panna cotta with mango tapioca pudding and butterscotch sauce, or stay savoury with a generous cheese board.
Good to know There is an alternative vegetarian menu.
