News updates from one of Johannesburg’s finest Boutique Hotels

If you think staying home is the best way to stay warm this winter, then think again. Chef Marnus has launched his new winter menu packed with deep, comforting flavours specially crafted to warm the soul. Dishes to look forward to includeslow roasts, deep marinades and braised stews.

“Our latest menu features deep flavours to induce a sense of warmth and comfort. We have chosen the best seasonal ingredients and prepared them with techniques that are harmonious with winter,” says Chef Marnus.

His top winter picks off his menu include the Salmon Gravalax which boasts a beautiful array of winter vegetables as a light, fresh way to start the meal, followed by the Braised Lamb Shoulder which is marinated for three days in the fridge, slow roasted and served with an extraordinary beetroot jus.

Keeping his finger on the pulse of the international food scene, Chef Marnus has spent many months preparing and using the technique of fermentation to bring extra flavour and complexity to his dishes. The fermentation of his lemon and feta puree started in spring and was nurtured right through to winter, bringing a well-balanced salty, creamy and zingy element to his lamb dish.

“This menu is all about winter and allowing our diners to feel the comfort that food brings in the colder months. Braised meats, roasted vegetables and hearty purees – everything speaks to warmth, comfort and contentment,” he says.

So, whether you like savouring one or two dishes on a night out, or if you prefer a full degustation experience, Clico Restaurant offers both an A La Carte menu option, as well as a six course, wine-paired tasting menu.
