Flavours of Pretoria
If travelling internationally isn't an option in 2010, consider a tasting lunch or dinner menu based on the recent culinary travels of chef Chantel Dartnall.
At Restaurant Mosaic at the Orient outside Pretoria (Tel 012 371 2902, www.restaurantmosaic.com) Dartnall's recent travels inspired an autumn ‘memoirs of Myanmar' menu during May, with a June winter menu themed on Cambodia and surrounds. September's spring menu focuses on France.
Degustation menus start at five courses (R495pp or R645pp including wine), six courses (R595pp or R745pp including wine) to a grand degustation nine courses (R850pp, including wine). Vegetarian menus are available too.
"We prep fresh for every service and we're a small kitchen team," explains Dartnall. "As it's a bit of a destination restaurant, people are generally spending a few hours over their meal so most opt for tasting menus."
