Awards keep pouring in for Le Quartier Français and head chef Margot
Janse.
The welcome is genial, the décor refreshing and the menus seductive.
Exciting new changes have seen the restaurant divided into two entities:
iCi’s menu is served both indoors and outdoors at lunch and dinner, and
proffers ‘tastes’ (tempura asparagus & fennel, sweet soya dip); lighter
fare (lamb burger decked with marinated tomatoes, pickled cucumber and
avo) and soul food from the wood burning oven (wood roasted free-range
chicken, roast potatoes and salad for two).
Dinners in The Tasting Room are an elaborate affair with a choice of set
menus.
Guests can select a minimum of 4-6 courses from the likes of fried
tomato gnocchi, dill puree, black radish, pickled cherries; beech
wood-smoked tuna, baby caponata, grapefruit glaze; and goat’s milk
cheese cake, rhubarb and honeycomb.
The other is an 8 course menu gourmand (with the option of wine
pairing), which tempts you with warm porchetta of quail and bacon,
spring onion salad and Jerusalem artichoke puree; pan roasted salmon
trout, truffled sweetcorn, porcini and broad bean ragout, and other
delectable dishes. |
