MULBERRY & PRINCE

BEST FOR A trendy spendy dinner. FOOD A short paper menu lists the options of small plates intended for sharing. Options might include a generous serving of market fish carpaccio laid out on a bed of sour hot sauce; whipped hake roe; smoked lamb tartare; oysters; or stracciatella. The famed cacio e pepe (a highlight) and a dish of meaty and fragrant foraged mushrooms might appeal. Beef with café de Paris butter and the catch of the day are at the top end of the menu. The dessert could be a Dutch baby pancake with lemon and fromage blanc. DRINKS An intriguing selection of wines from the Swartland and Elgin, along with local and international craft spirits. SERVICE Waiters are smartly turned out in aprons and look after you well. AMBIENCE The décor is sparse, clean and ultra modern. Interleading spaces have touches of marble, copper and trademark pale pink. It feels special and elegant inside. (LS)
