Restaurant Review: Quentin at Oakhurst Barn serves Cape Country Cuisine, blends Brit & Boer in his eclectic decor!

Kerzner pumps One&Only PR machine

Sol Kerzner, owner of the luxury hotel group One&Only,  is turning on his PR campaign to publicise the opening of his newest hotel in the Waterfront in April.

On Thursday evening Kerzner had 40 guests over for dinner, at his Leeukoppie Estate in Hout Bay, to give leaders in tourism, fashion and media a taste of the new restaurants that are set to open in the new One&Only.    maze and Nobu, two top international restaurants, owned by Gordon Ramsay and Nobu Matsuhisa, respectively, will be two major attractions in the hotel.   The guests were also introduced to the New York-based interior designer Adam Tihany.

In an article about the networking dinner in The TImes, the writer states Kerzner’s home could do with some of Tihany’s decor, the African curios being described by a guest as “bad, bad Greenmarket Square”.

 The opening function will not match that of the recent spectacular One&Only opening in Dubai, the newspaper reports.
