This article reviews Roar Bistro & Bar in Sandton, Johannesburg, highlighting its stylish ambiance, warm hospitality, and diverse menu featuring a fusion of global and uniquely South African flavors. The reviewer particularly praises the confit duck spring rolls, creamy Cajun chicken pasta, and the selection of mouth-watering desserts.
The menu at Roar Bistro & Bar is perfect for those looking for a tapas style dining experience. Picture: SuppliedWhile new restaurants are popping up all the time in Jozi, one of my all-time favourite spots is the Roar Bistro & Bar in Sandton .
I didn’t feel very adventurous when it came to the mains. As a pasta lover, I went for the creamy Cajun chicken pasta dish. Accompanied by cherry tomatoes and shaved Parmesan, it hit the spot. The menu caters for every palate and, while it isn’t extensive, it has a wonderfully-curated selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options.In a chat with him, he shared: “I was born in Soweto, grew up in Tembisa and joined the hospitality industry in 2005 as a sculler in the kitchen for a company called Compass Group SA.
“Dishes on the menu showcase a range of cuisines however, they are all informed by an Afrocentric influence. Some of them are also authentic SA dishes presented with a contemporary Afro flair.” As for his cooking style, Mohapi noted: “Braising is my favourite style of cooking because it allows for a greater infusion of flavours and tastes. Complimenting this with something fresh on the side, both enhances and cuts through the richness of the braising.
“That said, if I had to choose, it would be the venison carpaccio and the goat cheese and beetroot in the tapas section.
