RESTAURANT MOSAIC AT THE ORIENT TOP 10

BEST FOR The ultimate food and wine voyage. FOOD This culinary experience by award-winning chef Chantel Dartnall proves that food can be escapism. Dishes such as Under the Sheets, a firm and naturally sweet langoustin­e with white peach and hibiscus, demonstrat­e why the chef’s light touch is so effective: the dish is delicately prepared with the natural flavours left to flourish. Sublime aromas herald the arrival of main dishes: Flavours of Indochine features suckling pig with coconut curry and star anise; Cherry Blossom is locally reared duck with Dullstroom cherries; and From the Frozen Ocean is arctic salmon with seaweed and ocean broth. The enchanted-forest-themed dessert selection will delight, with The Earth Laughs in Flowers, starring summer berries, violets and passion fruit, or Heffalumps and Woozles, a deconstruc­ted dish of almond flavours, snowflakes and vanilla. DRINKS One of the most extensive and illustriou­s wine cellars in the country. Much-loved sommelier Moses Magwaza is the winner of the Wine Service Award for the second year running. SERVICE Seamless, with heart. AMBIENCE Utterly luxurious. (SS)
