Read full reviewWe stumbled upon a charming new dining spot, de Tafel, nestled within the Palm House Boutique Hotel. Recently unveiled in December, this culinary gem offers a refined dining affair overseen by Chef Gerard van Staden. Opting for the restaurant week 5-course menu, our evening began with a warm welcome and introduction to our attentive waitress, Nadine. Surveying the wine list, we found ourselves intrigued by unfamiliar selections.
Uncertain whether to indulge in a full bottle or opt for glasses per course, we were graciously guided by Richard, the manager on duty. He recommended the Nomoya Vermentino, offering to present it for a tasting before committing to a full bottle. This gesture eased any hesitation, and the wine proved to be a delightful companion to our meal, accentuating the flavours superbly.
Our culinary journey commenced with a delectable duck starter, boasting delicate flavours that enhanced the essence of the meat. Following suit was the Cape Salmon, a personal favourite, elevated by a sublime dill velouté that harmonized flawlessly with the subtle fish notes. The palate-cleansing passion fruit sorbet offered a refreshing interlude before diving into the impeccably cooked and tender brisket as the main course.
A raspberry mousse dessert concluded our feast on a light and satisfying note, while coffees and decadent friandes provided a perfect finale. Throughout the evening, the service remained attentive yet unobtrusive, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere.
In summary, our experience at de Tafel was nothing short of exceptional, with meticulously crafted dishes boasting delicate flavours and impeccable service. I wholeheartedly recommend indulging in this culinary haven.
Very good restaurant in the southern suburbs.
