The Mixologist

Cocktails really are the drink of choice at the moment. In fact if you don’t have your own in-house mixologist you really shouldn’t consider yourself a modern bar.

Our favourite mixologists are presently plumping, lifting, nipping and tucking the finest restaurant and bar cocktail menus to ensure that they’re on trend.

Fabulous!

P.S. When you’re next in The Hoek why not pop in for one of our bespoke Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow Martinis? It’s bound to get those toes tingling, in a good way.

Be a Delicious Lab Rat!

From the 15th till the 30th of November 2011 our new Delicious Hotel in Franschhoek will be undergoing its clinical trial.

This means that all our rooms – The Teeny Weeny, The Itsy Bitsy and The Bigger than a Bikini – will be available at R475 per room. That’s half their usual rate for our Lab Rats. Awesome! Right?

But that’s not all … we’re going to Supe-Up your Delicious stay ON THE HOUSE. So that’s one Supe-Up -per person per booking – that is free, gratis and won’t cost you a dime.

Obviously this relatively symptom-free clinical trial comes with a few strings.

The Strings:

  • Rooms are available on a first come first serve basis for the period between the 15th of November and the 30th of November 2011.
  • You’ll need to pay in full for your stay before we can book it off completely. So no confirmed reservation before you shell out the dosh. Comprende?
  • Supe-Ups are not transferable. Absolutely no takesy-backsy.
  • Post clinical trial we’ll need you to take part in a short survey. We promise – cross our hearts – that it won’t take more than two minutes to complete.

To take part you can book through our Delicious Facebook Page or Delicious website.

Smoked Ricotta is Righteous

Ricotta fans have known about it for a while but Smoked Ricotta has only recently exploded on the food scene.

Used in breakfasts, tarts and as a filler in pastas this low fat cheese – now with extra oomph – is set to put all other cheeses to shame in the upcoming culinary year.

Introducing Dr von Paris

We recently got had in the Tasting Room. Dr von Paris (great fake name) ducked out before the bill arrived. Fake credit card details and a mobile number that belonged to some poor lady, who had never eaten in the Tasting Room, left us all feeling like we’d been Punk’d. We do however think that the name the good Dr came up with was inspired … von Paris. Brilliant.
For the next week we are running a tasty competition – our own version of homage to Dr von Paris – come up with the best false name, post it on our Facebook page – and we’ll reward the name we like the most with dinner for two in the Tasting Room … and you won’t even have to duck out before the bill arrives.
Go on get posting!

Dr von Paris (great fake name) ducked out before the bill arrived. Fake credit card details and a mobile number that belonged to some poor lady, who had never eaten in the Tasting Room, left us all feeling like we’d been Punk’d. Apparently the good doctor has been visiting a number of top restaurants in and around Cape Town. Good to know that even those with fake names have excellent taste!

After we came to terms with the fact that the doctor would not be returning, to settle his dinner bill, we realised that the name he decided to use for his reign of restaurant-terror was inspired, brilliant in fact.

So – in our own version of homage – we will be running a tasty competition motivated by Dr. von Paris’s fabulous con job. From today until the 15th of May 2011 you need to come up with best false name, post it on our Facebook page, and we’ll reward the name we like the most with dinner for two in the Tasting Room.

The best news is that you won’t have to duck out before the bill arrives. Nice.
