Its Summer and the lazy days are upon us. But! that also means that the holidays are soon approaching that will be filled with fun and lots of good food and wine! On your bucket list- you should definitely have a fine dining experience; at least every second month. one of those restaurants that comes highly recommended is Terroir, situated in Stellenbosch. Award winning Stellenbosch eatery Terroir  has introduced a new summer menu that offers fresh, light and uncomplicated dishes that have been precisely created to tantalise diners during our hot African summers.

The new items on the Terroir summer menu showcase the considerable talents of acclaimed chef Michael Broughton and his team. Visitors can look forward to dishes such as yellow-fin tuna carpaccio seared in cumin and coriander served with avocado and a shallot, soy and ginger dressing. A confit of duck leg makes a welcomed appearance on the menu, wrapped in pastry with sauce demi-glace and served with nutmeg and baby bok choy that has been braised with honey and sesame; as does a quinoa and vegetable salad that offers a mélange of diced fresh summer vegetables with feta and preserved lemon and tomato vinaigrette.

And if you have a sweet tooth, Terroir does not disappoint! You can look forward to Le Kit Kat – a smooth chocolate ganache with flavours of hazelnut and almond served with a Mascarpone sorbet.

After all of the above, here’s all you need to know:
