Eat Out
Culinary wizard, Alan Fryer, stamps his trademark creativity on this trendy eatery. Classy touches, with heaps of red and chocolate shades, mix the contemporary with the classic, even extending to the outdoor area.
The select menu, enhanced by suggestions from on-the-ball waitrons, especially food-wine combinations, negates any trepidation the less experienced in fi ne dining might have. The tasteplatter starter is a delight of sushi and sashimi with easy-to-use chopsticks.
Smart combinations of tastes and textures with frequently updated specials make Nosh an out-of-the-ordinary spot. Think angry prawns, tomato concasse, fresh coriander, mild chilli and pecorino gratinee or Norwegian salmon steak with minted mustard peas and crispy bacon. A careful mixture of wines is also on offer. (CL)
Dine 2008
Situated in a lovely old house with a blossoming garden on Richmond Hill. Art deco furniture, wooden floors and an inviting front porch make for a welcoming mood.
Chef-patron Alan Fryer (who previously ran the ultra-successful theme bar and restaurant Castro’s) has created a space that works as well for romantic dinners as it does for drawn-out business lunches.
Classy renditions of South African comfort food classics. Calves’ liver comes with meat-juice gravy just like ouma used to make and ultra-sweet, caramelised onions. The kudu pie has a flaky pastry top, a rich Pinotage-based sauce and a generous helping of meltingly-soft venison pieces. Vegetables have the perfect al dente crunch, and, if the President were giving out medals for mashed potato, chef Fryer’s jacket would be weighed down with badges.
