Are you looking for authentic African flavours with a twist and cooked to perfection?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Located at the five-star Peermont D\u2019oreale Grande Hotel, Aurelia\u2019s offers a world-class fine dining experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n

With chef Andr\u00e9 Bezuidenhout now at the helm as Chef de Cuisine, patrons can look forward to an exciting new range of inspired dishes coming out of Aurelia\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe new menu takes traditional African cuisine to a new level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve built on the signature Aurelia\u2019s dishes everyone knows and loves to offer something that\u2019s more unique and exciting,\u201d said Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of simply incorporating existing food trends from around the world, we wanted to pay tribute to African flavours and set the trends people want to see in South Africa. The new menu achieves this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 discovered his love of food as a small boy cooking in his father\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n

He worked at a number of well-known restaurants before taking up his position at Aurelia\u2019s.<\/p>\n

At a recent degustation evening, the GCN got to sample a number of items on the menu and patrons will not be disappointed with the taste or quality of the food.<\/p>\n

The meal was delicious.<\/p>\n

Aurelia\u2019s is one of the few fine dining locations that offer a degustation menu \u2013 an eight-course menu in smaller portions, expertly paired with wines chosen by resident sommelier Boitumelo Maphela, to compliment the unique flavours of each course.<\/p>\n

The degustation evening is an indulgent affair with an amuse-bouche, small plate, entr\u00e9e, pallet cleanser, large plate, dessert and after dinner tea, coffee and friandises all included in the menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took us two months to develop this menu and make sure all the flavour profiles were perfect before being able to launch it to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new menu is a labour of love and a testament to the incredible things that can happen when you are passionate about creating incredible one-of-a-kind food,\u201d said Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n
