New summer dishes grace the table at Grande Provence

Chef Guy Bennett of The Restaurant at Grande Provence has tweaked his summer dishes with his signature modern South African flair by introducing new seasonal flavours and lighter textures at this landmark Franschhoek eatery.

Cured Franschhoek trout, pak choi, sour cream and radish

Unfettered by the notion of a fixed restaurant menu, Chef Guy champions an ever evolving and dynamic menu allowing for new creations to make their appearance.

“We change our dishes constantly incorporating new ingredients and produce that become available as the seasons change,” says Chef Guy.

Duck leg confit, sweet potato dumplings, sultana and Chinese cabbage, apple chutney

His passion for local produce is evident in his new starter of gin and citrus cured Franschhoek trout, adorned with a fresh salad of pak choi, radish and sour cream. His new yellowfin tuna starter has a flavourful oriental twist of tataki, daikon, braaied jalapeňo and avocado cream.

For his main course, Chef Guy has introduced a new cured duck leg confit served with sweet potato dumplings, saltana and Chinese cabbage, and a refreshing apple chutney to lift the flavours.
