Grub & Vine Winter Tasting Menu: R695 For 5 Courses

expired

A feast of winter flavours in bistro-tastic style.

“No-nonsense, good tasty food, beautiful produce and honest cooking” is how chef Matt Manning describes his Grub & Vine bistro offerings (on Bree Street and at The Norval Foundation in the Constantia Winelands). The beautifully prepared and executed seasonal dishes shine with full-on flavour in autumn and winter, the ideal time to sit down and relax over a six-course tasting menu…perhaps with one of three wine-pairing options (Matt’s local and international wine collection is second to none).
At Grub & Vine Bree, kick off with canapés: spiced pumpkin arancini; chicken and mushroom in phyllo; and West Coast oyster with pineapple salsa. An amuse bouche of seared trout with charred watermelon is followed by a shallot tarte tatin with baby turnips and shimeji mushrooms. A choice of butternut risotto or pan-fried linefish with charred calamari is the middle course, then for mains choose between confit pork belly with baked radish and caramelised apple; or braised lamb neck with smoked aubergine and potato fondant. Dessert is either a passionfruit panna cotta with strawberry sorbet; or a chocolate tart with shortbread and salted caramel ice cream. Bon appetit!
