GREI

BEST FOR Special celebrations and business dinners. FOOD With chef Candice Philip, winner of the 2018 Eat

Out Nederburg Rising Star Award, at the helm, Grei Restaurant impresses with its restrained and elegant take on fine dining. The six-course tasting menu heroes simplicity with the chef's passion for herbaceous flavours woven throughout. Stand-out dishes include ostrich tartare that brings hues of purple to the plate, with red cabbage and sorrel. The duck is simply sublime, a study in flavour and texture, with the creamiest duck liver parfait and elements of apricot, thyme and walnut complementing a perfectly cooked duck breast. The finale is a glorious dessert of guava mousse, beetroot and hibiscus. DRINKS Local and international wines are paired by critically acclaimed sommelier Lloyd Jusa. SERVICE In a word: phenomenal. AMBIENCE The restaurant is fitted in various shades of grey, against which the bright dishes pop. (SST)
