Grande Provence Chef Darren Badenhorst has added his
signature touch to create picnic baskets brimming with uncomplicated bites that
burst with flavour. Think French baguettes with artisanal brie, locally cured
saucisson, homemade preserves, country butter and decadent chocolate brownies.
A fine bottle of Grande Provence wine completes the deal.
For those who want to take their picnic experience up
a notch, rabbit liver parfait, seasonal fruits, wild mushroom quiche, salad and
macaroons can be added to the basket on request.
To book your basket at R225 per person, call The Restaurant at Grande Provence a day in advance on Tel: 021-876 8600 or e-mail restaurant@grandeprovence.co.za. The Grande Provence summer picnics take place from 1 November 2014 to
30 April 2015, weather permitting. Only a limited amount of baskets are
available per day, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
