BLU SAFFRON

BEST FOR Old-fashioned grandeur of erstwhile country clubs with a modern spin. FOOD The menu is packed with variety. They keep it fresh with quality topping the list and there are always recommendations on the day. Start with Thai fishcakes with a generous helping of fresh chillies followed by tasty pig wings cut from a piglet’s fore shank, oven-roasted on the bone and topped with fresh mint, orange, ginger beer and rum glaze; or springbok shanks with a coffee, Amarena cherry and red wine jus. Choose your potato side, ranging from wasabi mash to bacon-and-cheese roasted potatoes. All the usual suspects are around for dessert, but there’s a modern twist visible throughout the menu. It’s food with flair; chic yet comfy. DRINKS A good range of drinks suits the food well. SERVICE Smart, sassy and personable. AMBIENCE The comfortable layout offers private dining rooms and outdoor seating with endless golf course views. (DdB)
