Bruce Robertson - executive chef of Cape Grace - has received yet another accolade for the hotel restaurant. one.waterfront was named one of the top ten restaurants in South Africa by the highly acclaimed EAT OUT magazine at its annual 'Oscar' event for the restaurant industry. Only two restaurants from the Cape Town city made the top ten and one.waterfront was the only 'hotel restaurant' to be ranked here.

This could not come at a better time for Bruce and the one.waterfront team. Bruce, himself having just returned from an extremely successful visit to the USA where he was invited to present his South African inspired menu at the prestigious James Beard House* in New York.

Bruce says; ‘This is the first time we have made the top 10 restaurants list. We have been consistent with quality in the last two years and one.waterfront has been producing food of international standard with a definite South African edge.’

Bruce and his one.waterfront team have just launched their summer menu and highlights for starters include a pea vine and goat's cheese salad, a foie gras roasted sweetbreads terrine, a crème caramel of quail and west coast oysters - sushi style.

For main course a dorper lamb rack which has been minted and roasted with marula nuts served with a lemon, thyme and pea risotto and a sauce paloise, a baked feta and waterblommetjie cannelloni filled with roasted pine nuts and spinach and served in a water sauce, springbok loin and a t-bone of turbotin*.

For dessert, the summer feel is a high priority with an iced summer pear soufflé served with a kia-ora jelly, an almond and brie cheese panacotta and the piece dé résistance - the passion fruit delight - dipped in chocolate and served with a marscapone mojito.
