This place is very very intimate, seriously it’s like going to someone’s house and that someone happens to have a chef in the kitchen.
If you want an after dinner vibe with drinks, this isn’t the place. But if you’d like an intimate & Cosy dinner with some great food and excellent service - then it’s your spot.
They have a set 3 course menu ( or did when we went). When you get there you get a little something from the chef to wet your appetite, which is nice.
The menu looks as though it changes but generally we had a choice of about 2/3 dishes for each course.
Would definitely recommend this place at least once, shake up a date night and yes, expect to break the entire bank but in a no regrets sort of way.
The first gem was the Greens and Garlic Soup with Kimchi. The Executive Chef, Willie Malherbe really knows how to execute exciting and unusual dishes with Asian inspiration. After the delicious soup came the Smoked Springbok Lion with Radish and Crisp Goats Cheese, the crisp goats cheese is an absolute foodie revolution. The goats cheese had a crispy layer, almost deep-fried texture on the outside and oh sooo soft cheesiness on the inside.
The main beef dish was a Fillet with Roasted Vegetables. The dish was accompanied by Pumpkin Puree blobs and Red Wine Jus that raised the dish to a whole new level. The next main up, was the Kingklip! If we had to choose to eat only one dish forever, this would be it! Come breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, tea time, you name it, this dish will go with it. Coconut, Lemongrass and Lime Roasted Kingklip with Pakchoi served with Rice Noodles and Chili Caramel. Knocked us out of this world!
Dessert was an interesting combination of Dark Chocolate and Cherries. Big and bold flavours that complimented each other so well.
AtholPlace really feels like home but with royalty treatment. The price is definitely a fine-dining-price but we paid it with a smile, because with food as good as this, to transport you to a whole new world, professional staff having a collective goal in mind to ensure everyone has an unforgettable experience. Tick! Goal achieved! And an atmosphere of awe and wonder it was definitely worth every pretty penny.
Their menu changes regularly, so we will definitely be back for more exploring!
TTT recommends you sit inside to enjoy the local art and try the Kingklip if it is available.
