4 Course Brandy-Paired Menu

roundhouse — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:37:56 +0000

Specialty Brandy portfolio FINE BRANDY.BY DESIGN™ has teamed up with us to create a luxury, four course brandy paired menu. Featuring a range of award-winning connoisseur brandies from Van Ryn’s, Oude Meester, Klipdrift and Collison’s, the gourmet menu deftly shows you how versatile brandy can be as a dinner companion.

The dishes have been created by Chefs PJ and Eric, together with our Sommelier Joakim, starting with lighter-bodied, more youthful potstills, the menu graduates to progressively complex, fuller-bodied potstills and all the cuisine has been designed accordingly. “The purpose is to showcase the best of South African brandy and underscore it’s rightful place with food, as is becoming the trend across Europe and America,” says spokesperson for the prestige brandy collection, Shelley Ellse.

The 4 course brandy-paired menu is priced at R450 per person and forms part of our permanent selection. You can find a copy of our current brandy-paired menu under our special menus in the menu section.

A Way With Wine

Winemaking is a natural process, still only partially understood. At The Roundhouse, we applaud wines that have been given freedom of expression by their winemaker or viticulturist, and that have not been manufactured with added acidity or inoculated yeast to produce a desired flavour.

A soulful wine is telling the story of its birthplace, its vintage and the man or woman who helped it express itself. There are a multitude of terroir expressions in South Africa – Stellenbosch alone is ten times more diverse in its terroir than that of Bordeaux, and Chenin Blanc from Swartland is one of the most distinctive terroir expressions around.

We also source some products from outside of our South African boarders – cooler climates that do not have any South African equivalents, like Champagne and Burgundy. Some of the greatest terroir expressions of the world come from these areas and, therefore, they have a place with us.

We’d like to invite you to join us at The Roundhouse to explore and enjoy our wine offerings and share the adventure with us.

A Riotous Good Time!

Come join us outside at The Rumbullion for the finest alfresco dining Cape Town has to offer. In fact, ‘Rumbullion’ translates as a riotous good time, which is exactly what we aim to offer guests on the lawns. With the best panoramic views of Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles you’re likely to find, you can enjoy the summer sun, refreshing cocktails and delicious food with friends and family, surrounded by the wooded slopes of Table Mountain.

The festive atmosphere is heightened further by live music over weekends – also keep an eye out for our special events and festivities throughout the season.

Foraged Treasures

You’ll find spectacular nature not only surrounding The Roundhouse, but also inside – and more specifically on your plate! Chefs Eric and PJ forage surrounding forests to gather ingredients to incorporate into their cuisine, ranging from nasturtium berries to chickweed, and clover to confetti bush.

The Cape floral region boasts flora found nowhere else on earth, offering produce that is often overlooked commercially. By exploring the natural surrounds, the chefs are able to discover tastes and textures that are truly unique in their flavour profile, whether found in forests, fields, sand dunes or the sea.
