New modern eatery you have to visit in the east
“We are not trying to do fine dining, we want people to come here, have a proper meal with ingredients and flavours that remind them of home."
Brooklyn’s newest eatery, The Grill Room and Sushi Bar, sources local produce and ingredients to create an explosion of flavours, coupled with a great glass of crisp wine from South Africa’s top wineries.
Nestled in the middle of Brooklyn’s bustling corporate park and embassy belt, The Grill Room and Sushi Bar promises to entice your every taste bud.
Head chef Jamie Sutherland has quite the reputation and his dishes do not fail to deliver. He hails from Scotland and prides himself at creating tasteful dishes that amaze patrons.
He boasts experience in working with local foods and culinary influences from across the globe, incorporating flavours from the Middle East and Lebanon among many more.
Not only does he host a warm and welcoming restaurant environment, but he also thrives on the entire culinary experience from preparation to presentation.
“I aim to provide food sourced only in Africa, from our coffee to the well-cured beef, vegetables and wine. Lovely flavours. That is what South Africa is all about.”
“We are not trying to do fine dining, we want people to come here, have a proper meal with ingredients and flavours that remind them of home but teases elements and influences from other countries,” Chef Jamie explains.
The menu offers something for every taste preference. Perfectly aged sirloins, delicately decorated, appetising sushi, a range of differently prepared foods from the ocean and lastly a range of delightful desserts for young and old.
From the Mibrasa oven comes some scrumptious dishes for meat lovers including Lemon and Thyme Roasted Baby Spatchcock, Crispy Pork Belly and good old T-Bone. For those extra special occasions, there is some tender local Wagyu beef and 41-day dry-aged Jersey beef from KZN.
For vegetarians, the menu delivers carefully chosen favourites, made to perfection – from the refreshing Quinoa Salad to the Creamy Risotto with Shiitake Mushroom, Asparagus and Parmesan to the Mushroom and Camembert for something lighter.
The layout and interior design of this modern setting is nothing short of exquisite. The artworks, leather furniture and earth-tone elements across the restaurant create a modern industrial feel with inspiration from a big city life. If you are having a “staycation” during December this year, you can’t go wrong by paying this new eatery a well-deserved visit.
“Our plating is not finicky, our meats are married with sides that compliment each other, and compliments the flavours. “Combine that with a great glass of red wine, you won’t be sorry. It’s absolutely lovely. This is what we are, we are trying to make sure there is something for everybody to enjoy,” Chef Jamie concludes.
