Shimmy Beach Club, South Africa’s premier venue and restaurant location, has announced its new mouth-watering winter menu. The a la carte menu will be available in the restaurant from 4 May to the end of August, 2016.
Old favourites, such as the lamb shank pot pie, Moodie burger and the infamous Shimmy seafood platter remain on the menu, bolstered by new items like the slow braised mutton curry roti, seared Indonesian marinated tuna steak, prawns Nacional and chimichurri marinated baby chicken.
Executive Chef, Adrian Cook says patrons can expect the usual Italian and Mediterranean influences that Shimmy is known for. “The new menu is full of slow food from Umbria and includes warm, rich and hearty, country-style comfort food; meals that take you back to home and your childhood.”
I have to agree with what the chef says below. The pick of the bunch from the menu tasting we were kindly invited to with Zomato, was definitely the pork belly and the venison in pancetta! The crayfish ravioli was also worth writing home about if you’re more of a seafood fan!
Chef Adrian already knows which dish will be the firm favourite. “Our guests are going to love the cider braised pork belly. It’s something I enjoy cooking and sharing with friends and family.” Restaurant clients can also look forward to more complex dishes with intricate flavours, such as the venison loin wrapped in pancetta. Those following a Banting diet, can look forward to a sushi or pizza option.
There are several surprises on the dessert list including key lime pie, Cape brandy pudding, homemade Granny Smith apple pie and a decadent Nutella pizza, with strawberries and mascarpone.
This homemade Granny Smith apple pie was out of this world. This was the pic of the bunch, along with the peanut brittle and vanilla ice cream. My word!
