SALSIFY

-

BEST FOR The most beautiful views. FOOD Start with the beetroot amuse-bouche then move on to the assiette of suckling pig, which pairs well with morsels of salted apple and num num. For mains, the pan-seared springbok is beautiful, while the Peking duck breast provides complex flavours from salted sour plums and walnuts. For dessert, the dark chocolate soufflé is impressive, served with a gorgeously creamy quenelle of milk-chocolate ice cream.

The roasted pineapple goes beautifull­y with the tiny coriander sprouts, tangy kefir snow and torn crumbs of dense coconut cake. DRINKS The wine list has interestin­g bottles to try, with a by-the-glass option for each varietal.

There are also two cocktails. SERVICE Everything works like clockwork. The staff are warm, well-informed and excited to be there. AMBIENCE The space is beautifull­y classic – featuring white tablecloth­s and Persian rugs – but the entrance room and back lounge feature modern graffiti. (KP)
