Description: Award-winning chef Mike Bassett’s new venture, Myoga, is a 100-seater restaurant at the luxury Vineyard Hotel and Spa in Newlands, Cape Town. Myoga, meaning Ginger Blossom in Japanese, incorporates the vibe of a city restaurant with the tranquility of Myoga’s spectacular position within the Vineyard Hotel’s lush, 6-acre garden. The emphasis is on contemporary, global fusion. At Myoga diners can expect the same passion and exacting standards as Mike brings to all his endeavours. A welcome addition to the dining scene in the Southern Suburbs, Myoga is five minutes from the Claremont CBD and a leisurely 15-minute drive from the city centre. Controlled access to the hotel grounds means that there is constant security and secure parking. The beauty of the gardens at the Vineyard, combined with the family-owned hotel’s wonderful history (it was Lady Anne Barnard’s country house in the late 1700s), creates a very special setting for Mike’s fun, new restaurant. Diners have the choice of a variety of dining options, with the main restaurant area, a separate smoking lounge (in part of the original homestead), and private dining in the wine cellar beneath the restaurant. Non-smokers can relax with a pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge next to the bar or on the terrace, and the barman can whip up a variety of intriguing Myoga cocktails. Head chef: Mike Bassett |
