| NEWSFLASH |
Have a fabulous festive season and may you have
a successful and joyous 2010! Please don’t drink

wonderful taxi drivers available for just that
purpose is a good idea ... |

Good Food
The Courtyard
It’s new; it’s trendy: it’s - The Courtyard,
located on the outside area surrounding the
fountain at Buitenverwachting, the gentle sound
of water, the natural beauty of the charming
gardens all add to the pleasure of this new
eatery where one can spend hours enjoying the
company of friends and partaking of wines made
on this outstanding Constantia Estate.
 |
There is a light luncheon menu
available and from 3 p.m. Tapas will be served
on boards designed by Edgar especially for this
new eatery. Daily selections are displayed on a
blackboard from which choices can be made in
sets of:
3 Courses for R99
5 Courses for R129 or
7 Courses for R159
Tapas will not be served singly although if you
wish to add a sweet Tapas to one of the
selections you have made, it won't be a
problem...
To add to your pleasure High Tea will be served
between 3 and 5.30 p.m. at R140 per adult and
R70 per child. Guests can help themselves to the
most delicious spread of savoury and sweet
temptations imaginable. |
Buitenverwachting Restaurant
The décor in this very special restaurant is
superb with the most comfortable seating you
could wish for!
The dinner menu is a 3, 4 or 5 course menu from
which you can choose any dish ấ la carte and
make up your own delicious selection for the
meal.
In addition to this selection, there is a menu
containing Edgar’s Classics – these are dishes
for which his fame has spread far and wide ...
gourmet flavours such as his Pan-fried
Madagascan Wild Prawns with Bagna Cauda,
Avocado, Daikon, Cucumber and Spring Onion,
pictured here, is mouth-wateringly delicious.
Another one of Edgar’s creations is the
deconstructed Caesar Salad served with white
Anchovies, Parmesan Foam, poached Quail Eggs and
seared Norwegian Salmon perfect for Cape Town’s
hot summer days.
The dessert selection could only be created by
an Austrian maestro in the kitchen ... words
fail your scribe, you will just have to try them
for yourselves ...

Ilze’s Cellar Door
Summer is well and truly here at last and it is
definitely Sauvignon Blanc time! What better
than the Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc...?
The 2009s are superlative.
Sauvignon Blanc 2009 – Constantia – Class Winner
at the International Wine & Spirit Competition
Sauvignon Blanc Husseys Vlei 2009 – four star
rating – Wine Magazine
Lovely grassy, green pepper notes which carry
through to the palate with a crisp acidity and a
lingering finish. Mmmm ...
Your scribe has heard that the ever popular
Buitenverwachting Chardonnay will be released
very, very soon! You know what to do ...? Phone
Ilze and check when ...
