IDIOM FINE DINING RESTAURANT

BEST FOR Incredible views paired with top wines and Italian fare. FOOD The food is a contemporary combination of South Africa and Italy. All dishes include a wine pairing suggestion. The starter of Parma ham linguini with red chilli, basil, parmesan and cream is delightful. Or try the lamb ragu paccheri with salsa rossa, bone marrow and mint gremolata. For mains, the pork belly comes highly recommended, with spiced butternut, black garlic and candied aubergine. Pizzas are tantalising: try the Sicilia with courgettes, pine nuts, feta and white anchovies, or the Toscana with mushrooms, caramelised onions and wild boar salami. Desserts are decadent: chocolate nemesis with blueberry ice cream, violet streusel and pimento sponge, or pistachio and olive oil cake.

DRINKS The full range of Bottega wines and proseccos is available. SERVICE Efficient, swift and professional. AMBIENCE Idiom’s pristine venue – housing their winery, restaurant and tasting centre – boasts endless views. Inside, the feeling is modern and uncluttered. (IvdM)
