Granita @ Kievits Kroon - #FairCityEscape


The dinner at Granita out at Kievits Kroon was just that good, I decided it needed it's own post.
Just FYI. If you want to go eat here, you definitely need to make a reservation. They are usually fully booked well in advance. (That, in itself, already tells you something.)


Amuse Bouche - Cucumber with an Avocado Salsa


Starter - Poached chicken galantine, stuffed with chicken liver and giblet farce served with cauliflower purée.


Soup - Chef's Choice: Curry Vegetable


Fish - Ravioli of duck confit served with pan-fried prawn and prawn bisque.


Sorbet - Chef's Choice: Green Apple & Lime


Main - Grilled beef fillet with braised oxtail & textures of onions.


Dessert - Traditional baked malva pudding served with a citrus crème anglaise.


The food was full of flavour & cooked to perfection. No wonder this restaurant is always fully booked. 

Now who doesn't love a good glass of wine? Right? An absolutely exquisite range of wines are available on the wine list. But I opted for the wine pairing with my dinner. 

1st up... Overgaauw, 2014 Sauvignon Blanc.
Tropical aromas, lime zest & green apples. Balanced with a nice minerality coming through on the palate.


2nd... Haute Cabrière, 2017 Chardonnay Pinot Noir
Full of fresh zesty fruit, especially white peach. A balanced & delectable full mouth feel.


3rd... Kievits Kroon Merlot
Their very own wine label & is only available at Kievits Kroon. A full bodied red full of red berries & plums.


4th... Thelema, 2014 Vin de Hel Muscat Late Harvest
Light golden dessert wine with a floral perfume & is complimented by undertones of honey & citrus. 


What an experience. Definitely one of the best dining experiences that I have had in a long time. Top class food. Top class wine. Top class service. 
It comes highly recommended in my opinion.
