La ColombeConstantia
Scot Kirton, executive chef of La Colombe in Constantia, Cape Town, has earned the title S.Pellegrino Chef of the Year.
There’s a playfulness to the menu, especially in terms of presentation. Take their signature dish, the tuna tataki served in a can, which also made an appearance on the menu at the Sunday lunch awards ceremony. It’s clear that a lot of thought, hard work, and more than a touch of fun goes into designing the menu. Scot explains, “We start by looking at what the season holds, and then we try to think outside the box. Every dish has to be unique and original; this sometimes means that it takes weeks to master.” For more information visit: www.lacolombe.co.za |

CarneKeerom
Carne likes to let steak do the talking, from the moment the waiters parade a platter of quality meat before your table. Alongside prime beef, lamb and venison, you will get to see hanger steak, spider steak, prime rib on the bone. One of the signature dishes is the 1.2 kg La Fiorentina T-bone, a fine choice for a hungry couple. As a starter, along the salads there are tasty choices like the superb ravioli filled with slow-baked shoulder of Karoo lamb, topped with sage butter and parmesan. Besides Giorgio’s award winning pastas, salads and chicken dishes to consider, the meat is the reason to visit. As a desert, Nava’s legendary dark chocolate fondant shouldn’t be missed.
