Escape to the Paarl winelands to enjoy a romantic Valentine’s dinner at The Bistro at Brookdale Estate. Couples are invited to book their table for 2 on Wednesday 14 February, with a choice of seating in the air-conditioned restaurant, or on the terrace overlooking the vineyards.
Celebrate sunset on arrival with a complimentary glass of Brookdale Estate's Mason Road Serendipity Rosé, a delicious salmon-coloured rosé with aromas of cherries, strawberries and passion fruit.
Chef Gary Coetzee and his team will present their seasonal a la carte menu, which includes light, summer dishes such as char-grilled baby gem lettuce with pickled red onion, avocado, croutons, capers, wakame and cashew dressing; or curried beetroot pavé served with onion bhaji, peanut, mint & coriander, chutney, and sweet and sour cling peach to start with.
Main course follows with more mouthwatering options such as duck leg confit with sweet potato, pak choi, fine beans and ginger gastrique, or cauliflower risotto with pickled shimeji, toasted almonds, aubergine biltong and herb oil; before ending on a sweet note with white chocolate mascarpone parfait, Syrah mousse, strawberry, white chocolate snow and raspberry sponge, to name but a few options.
