Fine dining steps up a notch as the well-known Cape Town eatery comes to Gauteng.
When one of the country’s top chefs makes a decision to move his award-winning restaurant from the tourism hotspot of Cape Town to the bustling metropolis of Johannesburg, it’s definitely one-upmanship for the city whose fine dining scene is considered, by some, to be second rate when compared to the offering of its coastal cousins.
So Cape Town’s loss is certainly Joburg’s gain. His Test Kitchen Carbon restaurant situated in the new Oxford Parks development on a busy corner in Rosebank is set to become a popular and bustling new hub as it is joined by a selection of other eateries — a great investment and thumbs-up for Egoli diners.
It’s a smaller eatery than the previous one at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock in Cape Town. This one is modern and edgy, it’s dark and moody with interesting burnt timber artworks running along one wall. There’s even a larger than life one of chef Luke himself. And what a spectacular 12-course tasting menu it was. Kicking off with decadent mouthfuls, the delights kept rolling — like the blue cheese rosemary and shallot puffs served with an olive martini; paper thin crisp slices of pork scratchings with a clever beer foam to dip them in; smoked quail leg pancake with plum hoisin and lamb rib and white anchovy Saam.
