La Colombe

La Colombe Review

Constantia Uitsig is home to three good restaurants, but it's La Colombe, with chef Luke Dale-Roberts's excellent Provence-inspired food with an Asian sensibility, that attracts the most attention and garners every award. The seven-course Elements tasting menu, inspired by the restaurant's direct environment, is an exquisite culinary experience served on custom-designed plates made by a community arts project. The regular chalkboard menu items are equally excellent but not as edgy. Expect pressed terrine of confit rabbit, chorizo, foie gras, and fig jelly served with port-poached fig and mascarpone mousse, or springbok loin cooked in port with truffles, panfried foie gras, and bush tea-preserved quince. Although costly, this is a not-to-be-missed culinary experience.
