SANSIBAR BISTRO AT ASARA

BEST FOR Lazy weekend lunches. FOOD Sansibar’s wood-fired oven is at the centre of their bistro-style menu. Elongated flatbread pizzas with toppings like Parma ham with gorgonzola, caramelised onions and wild rocket are crowd-pleasers. Starters consist of bistro classics like Caesar or Caprese salads, barbecue chicken wings or try the gincured salmon salad. Mains are wood-fired too, ranging from the Asara beef burger (180g patty) to glazed pork ribs and yellowfin tuna – to name a few. Sharing options include three platters: cheese, salmon trout variation or vineyard selection. Apple tarte tatin or gin mousse are good dessert choices. DRINKS Sansibar prides itself on its gin bar, offering a variety of gins from all over the world. There are plenty of Asara Estate wines, local beers and cocktails on the list too, as well as whiskies, brandies, cognacs and digestifs. SERVICE Service is professional as suits a premium hotel. AMBIENCE Opulent yet contemporary interior décor. The terrace boasts incredible views. (IvdM)
