Amare: R380 for 2 courses; R500 for 3 courses

Amare is the Latin word for love, which obviously permeates every dish at this light and airy restaurant in Bantry Bay. South Coast Mediterranean is how the owners describe it, where fresh, vibrant and delicious dishes will transport you to the sunshine coast…
The short winter special menu rounds up some of the highlights: choose between starters of crumbed feta with honey, cabernet balsamic and oregano; and kingklip ajillo with garlic, chilli and capers. For mains, tuck into the signature spaghetti all’Assassina; pappardelle ragu with fior di latte; or chicken limone with apple and fennel salad and burnt butter potatoes with crispy sage. Then for dessert a lemon posset or bread pudding with sabayon cream is a sublime finish.
