The Food Musketeer (3 years ago )
There is a new restaurant on the Pretoria foodie scene.
A contemporary african setup, that's fresh and spacious and I love the decor. It's simplistic. They haven't finished part of the restaurant which is set to be a cigar lounge once the ban is lifted according to owner Caroline Makgabo, but personally I wish it could just be a drinks lounge as it probably has the best night view.
It's situated in buzzing Brooklyn in a shopping centre so at least their is decent parking.
We got a few tasters from Chef Hayley, which is not really part of the menu, I wish we had tasted a few things off the menu, so will have to go back try some of the interesting items I saw. The menu is downloadable via a QR Code, and of course all COVID protocols are adhered to by the staff.
They also have a wide variety of Mocktails which look interesting, I tried the Kiss, and rather enjoyed it.
Food wise we tasted their Kulture Beef Burger on a Brioche bun with Smoked Brie, aioli and Pickled Onions.
The Bean Doughnut which reminded me more of an indian Veda, crunchy on the outside and soft inside with a little kick to it.
The Jollof Arancini, with a Ginger and Carrot Puree, this was the only thing that lacked a bit of flavoring for me. The puree made it.
Silverfish crostini with paprika and lemon, which I enjoyed the flavour.
If you have adventurous palate, I suggest checking out the menu and giving them a try.
Thanks to Chef Hayley, Mervin and the team for fantastic service.
