Table d’ HÔte
Superb cuisine, friendly and professional service
and wonderful wines in a setting that is graceful
but relaxed is the credo for fine dining at Serendipity.
A five course South African inspired table d’hÔte
menu, experienced leisurely in a refined atmosphere
that increases the pleasure of the dining experience
is the benchmark of Serendipity.
Sourcing
One of the main activities of Serendipity is to
scan the horizon for the very best quality locally
produced meats, venison, game birds, mariscos
and herbs and fruit of the forest to have a personal
relationship with producers and suppliers. In
explaining the menu to the guests the maitre d’
takes great pride in intimately and lovingly describing
the habitat and status of each of the main ingredients
and kitchen skills applied, to create a world
class epicurean delight.
Preparation
We are passionate about food with reverent
respect for freshness and quality ingredients.
All meats and fish dishes are always freshly prepared
to meet the most stringent requirement of the
connoisseur. Great accent is placed to ensure
that the accompanying vegetables, tubers and mushrooms
or berries and indigenous starches not only compliment
meat or fish but are providing a total exhilarating
dining experience.
Fusion of Styles Exceptional
African and the best international spices and
combinations are brought into play for a fusion
that creates a unique awareness for and appreciation
of an artistically plated dish.
Sauces The age old French
concept of professionally conceived and slow-brewed
sauces to bridge and embrace the aromas and tastes
complete the language produced in the kitchen.
Wine and local liquors
Wine is selected from the best vineyards in South
Africa with a focused attention on wines that
will complement the menu and that will ensure
a memorable dining experience. The winelist contains
a spread of varietals and a description of each
wine that is helpful for novice wine drinkers
and our overseas guests unfamiliar with local
labels.
Our winelist strives to be balanced and exciting
with a mix of established labels and new comers
and a range of prices and value for money. We
are cultivar, vintage and terroir conscious because
we are aware of the considerable variations.
There is a tendency also to advocate the wine
producing regions in the Southern Cape and Klein
Karoo. The South Africaness of pot distilled liquor
from fruits or berries and an after-meal experience
and fortified wines as an aperitif is also offered.
Private Functions and Weddings
Serendipity hosts exclusive private
functions for heads of state, politicians, leaders
of commerce and industry and has provided ‘total
event management’ for high profile intimate
weddings.
