Exciting New Summer Menu

On the 1 September, we will be releasing our new summer menu. You can look forward to new tapas, salads, platters and delicious main course meals. Our Chef's blackboard specialities will change on a regular basis to give you the excuse to keep coming back. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates. 

Art at Ke-Monate

From this month on, Ke-Monate is starting an exciting new venture. We will be featuring one or two talented artists works in our tasting centre or conference room on a monthly basis. So when you are here please feel free to go downstairs or ask the floor manager to view the pieces.
This month our featured artist is PC van Rensburg.

PC van Rensburg was born in Cape Town in 1955 and studied at the School of Architecture, University of Pretoria. He has been a practising architect for the past 30 years. As an artist he does large oil on canvas paintings and has participated in numerous group art exhibitions in Cape Town over the last 12 years. Several of his works have been auctioned for charity.

Chef Natalia's Recipe of the Month

My love affair with bread and butter pudding did not start until I started working in the UK, where this dish was a big crowd pleaser. The possibilities of this simple, but delicious dessert fired up my imagination and it did not take me long to start experimenting with different flavours, for example citrus or mixed berry – but I really hit the taste jackpot when I created my chocolate bread and butter pudding. My secret is a sprinkle of hot chocolate powder in between the slices of bread. Simple and effective.

Wine Tasting and Dinner Evening for August

Our August and September wine tasting and dinner evenings will unfortunately have to be cancelled due to the fact that, our speaker, Dr Charl van Teijlingen is having a back operation. He will be back for the October tasting. We wish all the best and a speedy recovery.
