It was a surprise to read that Chef Peter Tempelhoff is to open his second restaurant beyond, at Buitenverwachting in Constantia. This follows the success of his Fyn restaurant in the city centre, which he opened two years ago. He is to open a Street Food restaurant on Shortmarket Street sometime soon too.<\/p>\n
Chef Peter has not revealed many details about beyond, as to the opening date, and where exactly it will open on the wine estate. But we do know the name of the Chef heading up the kitchen as well as that of the interior designer of the new restaurant, who also designed the FYN interior.<\/p>\n
Chef Peter writes about his new beyond restaurant:<\/p>\n
\u2019Our new restaurant concept, beyond<\/span><\/strong>, at Buitenverwachting wine farm, came with the dual challenge of offering you, our loyal patrons, something fresh, while acknowledging the estate\u2019s centuries of history. We believe the answer to this challenge is best answered by way of a light touch and uncompromising standards as far as ingredients go. Indeed, if I could choose a quote to sum up the philosophy behind the food at beyond<\/span><\/strong>, it would be something Marco Pierre White once said: \u201cMother nature is the artist, we are just the cooks.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Sustainable and seasonal produce and a respect for provenance will inform the menu, and my team will craft these seasonally significant flavours into a memorable culinary experience. Expect food that comforts and nurtures, served \u00e0 la carte, to old-fashioned service standards.<\/i><\/p>\n I\u2019m joined in this exciting new journey by core members of my stellar team at FYN, Culinary Director Ashley Moss and Head Chef Julia du Toit, who will now serve as Head Chef at beyond<\/span><\/strong>. Du Toit\u2019s vision includes a paring back of food to its essence. \u201cWe have become so used to trying to fuse flavours together that we have forgotten how to keep things simple. That\u2019s what we want to bring back at beyond<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 simple, elegant food that\u2019s still packed with flavour,\u201d she says.<\/i><\/p>\n The setting will echo this and we hope the idea of a fresh take on tradition comes through in the simple, elegant interiors. A contemporary and casual, but refined space, conceived by Tristan du Plessis, beyond<\/span><\/strong>\u2019s setting is as timeless as the menu and echoes the elegance of the dishes. Wine too, will tip its hat to history, and Jennifer Hug\u00e9 (a long-time colleague of mine), cites the Constantia Valley as her inspiration for the masterful selection.<\/i><\/p>\n We look forward to welcoming you at beyond<\/span><\/strong> very soon, Tuesday\u00a0– Saturday\u00a0Lunch – 12:00 to\u00a015:00\u00a0Dinner – 19:00 to 21:30\u00a0<\/span>(Sunday Lunches\u00a0from January 2021, date TBC)\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Buitenverwachting Wine Farm, 37 Klein Constantia Road, <\/a>Constantia, Cape Town, 7806 \u00a0<\/a>Tel.\u00a0021 794 0306\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris von Ulmenstein, WhaleTales Blog: www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog Tel +27 082 55 11 323 Twitter:@Ulmenstein Facebook: Chris von Ulmenstein Instagram: @Chrissy_Ulmenstein<\/strong><\/p>\n
