Barristers,    Main    St    &     Kildare    Rd,   Newlands.      021    671      7907.
http://www.barristersgrill.co.za. Welcome Winter with a Rosemary Fillet ...and so the
rains have come, at last! Winter is a special time; warm and cosy in the restaurant,
great atmosphere in the pub and fresh and bracing on the deck (okay its freezing
cold!)...rugby at Newlands and great hearty Barristers food...and suddenly all is well in
Newlands again... To welcome winter we‘ve decided to give our regulars a very special
treat and so for May we will be offering you a Monday Special of two Rosemary Fillets
for the price of one! The deal is simple – on Mondays, choose from a 200g fillet at R140
or the 300 g at R160 and you will receive a FREE 200g Rosemary Fillet. This comes with
a choice of chips, baked potato or a side salad; veggies are an optional extra and to
avoid us going bankrupt, sadly, we cannot allow any byo wines. Booking is advised, as
our tables for two are limited. For craft beer lovers, some more good news! We have
added three new beers to our craft beer offering – Jack Black Pale Ale, Jack Black
Pilsner and Devils Peak (not sure which one as it‘s still too early to taste today, but their
Kings Block house looks interesting). With so much lager around, we thought the Pale Ale
would be interesting - certainly it seems to be popular as we've just finished our first
keg! 15 beers now on tap.

The Vineyard Hotel and Spa Colinton Rd, Newlands. 021 657 4500. e-mail
eat@vineyard.co.za. www.vineyard.co.za follow on Twitter @Vineyard_Hotel. The
arrival of the colder months is heralded with a sensational series of themed menus at its
in-house restaurant, The Square. Matt Deitchman, Food and Beverage Manager of the
Vineyard Hotel & Spa, has built on the success of previous years to create an alluring mix
of local and internationally-themed dinners that will appeal to any lover of fine food.
―We‘ve taken into account all the feedback from previous year‘s menus and
incorporated it into this year‘s calendar, with a few exciting additions and surprises.
Themed dishes will be introduced monthly to the a la carte menu, and guests can choose
according to their preference. Daily specials will also be added to the menu, offering
more variety to our regular diners.‖ The Tastes of 2012 menu kicked off in April with the
Wine Partners‘ Favourites. Deitchman explains: ―To celebrate the launch of our 2012
wine pairing events calendar, we asked our five wine partners – Waterford, Meerlust,
Simonsig, Warwick and Klein Constantia – to give us their favourite dishes. Christopher
Law, our newly recruited and experienced Sous Chef who has spent the past two years at
the esteemed Delaire Graff Restaurant, then selected one dish from each farm, which
was paired with a specific wine from that estate. During the month of May, we‘ll
welcome winter with a selection of hearty slow-cooked dishes - perfect comfort food.
Typical dishes will include braised short rib of beef and crackling crusted slow-cooked
pork belly.‖ This year is both the Queen‘s Diamond Jubilee as well as the 2012 London
Olympic Games. ―We‘re celebrating these two momentous occasions in June with a
traditional ‗Rule Britannia‘ menu. In July, we‘re showcasing Classic French dishes to
coincide with Bastille Day, while we have a surprise planned for August and September.‖
August is traditionally trainee month at The Vineyard Hotel, so Deitchman and his team
have come up with a novel way of testing the skills of the trainee chefs. ―We are going
to task our trainees with developing their own culinary treats, and our senior chefs will
then choose the best of these dishes to go onto the menu. It‘s almost a kind of Vineyard-
style mini cook-off!‖ The final themed menu has a unique twist. ―September is all about
our guests. They will be invited to submit their favourite dishes, and our chefs will
select the best of these to go onto the menu for the September gourmet dinners. Guests
who submit dishes that are chosen by our chefs will also win a prize.‖ The recipes for
each of the themed menus will be posted to the Vineyard website and Facebook page to
give guests a chance to try to create the dishes at home. ―We also encourage guests to
send us their feedback and pictures of the final result, which we‘ll post to our online
platforms,‖ explains Deitchman. ―It‘s no secret that winter months are slow months in
the hospitality industry. As such, many restaurants offer ‗winter warmer‘ specials, and
do so with great success. But it‘s necessary to be a step ahead of the competition, so
we‘ve tried to be a little more creative and innovative with Tastes of 2012.‖

The arrival of the colder months is heralded with a sensational series of themed menus at its in-house restaurant, The Square. Matt Deitchman, Food and Beverage Manager of the Vineyard Hotel & Spa, has built on the success of previous years to create an alluring mix of local and internationally-themed dinners that will appeal to any lover of fine food. ―We‘ve taken into account all the feedback from previous year‘s menus and incorporated it into this year‘s calendar, with a few exciting additions and surprises. Themed dishes will be introduced monthly to the a la carte menu, and guests can choose according to their preference. Daily specials will also be added to the menu, offering more variety to our regular diners.‖ The Tastes of 2012 menu kicked off in April with the Wine Partners‘ Favourites. Deitchman explains: ―To celebrate the launch of our 2012 wine pairing events calendar, we asked our five wine partners – Waterford, Meerlust, Simonsig, Warwick and Klein Constantia – to give us their favourite dishes. Christopher

Law, our newly recruited and experienced Sous Chef who has spent the past two years at the esteemed Delaire Graff Restaurant, then selected one dish from each farm, which was paired with a specific wine from that estate. During the month of May, we‘ll welcome winter with a selection of hearty slow-cooked dishes - perfect comfort food. Typical dishes will include braised short rib of beef and crackling crusted slow-cooked pork belly.‖ This year is both the Queen‘s Diamond Jubilee as well as the 2012 London Olympic Games. ―We‘re celebrating these two momentous occasions in June with a traditional ‗Rule Britannia‘ menu. In July, we‘re showcasing Classic French dishes to coincide with Bastille Day, while we have a surprise planned for August and September.‖ August is traditionally trainee month at The Vineyard Hotel, so Deitchman and his team have come up with a novel way of testing the skills of the trainee chefs. ―We are going to task our trainees with developing their own culinary treats, and our senior chefs will then choose the best of these dishes to go onto the menu. It‘s almost a kind of Vineyard- style mini cook-off!‖ The final themed menu has a unique twist. ―September is all about our guests. They will be invited to submit their favourite dishes, and our chefs will select the best of these to go onto the menu for the September gourmet dinners. Guests who submit dishes that are chosen by our chefs will also win a prize.‖ The recipes for each of the themed menus will be posted to the Vineyard website and Facebook page to give guests a chance to try to create the dishes at home. ―We also encourage guests to send us their feedback and pictures of the final result, which we‘ll post to our online platforms,‖ explains Deitchman. ―It‘s no secret that winter months are slow months in the hospitality industry. As such, many restaurants offer ‗winter warmer‘ specials, and do so with great success. But it‘s necessary to be a step ahead of the competition, so we‘ve tried to be a little more creative and innovative with Tastes of 2012.‖
