Mimosa Bistro at De
Wetshof
Be prepared to be wooed by award-winning chef Bernhard
Hess at the Mimosa Bistro on De Wetshof. Hess’s culinary talent, an institution
at the Wacky Wine Week-end, is once again sure to culminate in mouth-watering meals.
The impressive menu starts with fresh oysters, provided
by the well-known Wild Peacock Deli, followed by a hearty barley soup and a
trio of spring rolls offering prawn, vegetable and chicken.
The more substantial dishes include yellowfin tuna
steaks; expertly grilled to capture the natural juices and flavour of this sought
after fish. Those who favour red meat
can order char-grilled beef fillet beef or steak tartare in starter as well as
main portions. Both the tuna and beef will be served with potato chips and
seasonal vegetables. Other dishes include home-made gnocchi with porcini as
