Newmark Hotels & Reserves showcases GINJA and Terrarium’s new winter menus, plus other leading restaurants with an abundance of warm flavours.
GINJA at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel
Warm up the palate at GINJA Restaurant with a Butternut & Rooibos Soup starter or Cape Malay Mussels in coconut broth. The main winter menu is a brewing pot of flavour. Select one of the hearty dishes off the grill, from Chalmar Beef Ribeye to Grilled Salmon, or dive into the Harbour Plate or Portobellini Ramen. Desserts include S'mores and Dark Chocolate Tart for heavenly sweetness.


Shoreditch at The Winchester Hotel
Shoreditch Restaurant heats up this season with all things smoky, spicy, and toasty. For example, there are Smoked Mixed Nuts, Smoky Hummus and Muhammara (a spicy smoked red pepper dip with curry oil). Then dive into Tacos, West Coast Mussels in Durban curry broth, charred Sweet Corn Risotto, Lamb Chops, and various mains that promise ot make the mouth water. Amarula Tiramisu tops it all in a grand finale.

Inner-city winter dining in Foreshore is something to look forward to before or after work. The contemporary interior is matched with a modern menu fit for the season. Our baristas brew a fine coffee to go with the exquisite All Star Benie, The Talent Show and Pop & Rock Eggs Benedict. Dip into pan-fried Salmon, Creepy Crawlies seared prawns or Woodfired Wonders pizza and our signature artisanal Burgerlicious burgers. Finally, toast to good vibes with a curated Liquid Grapes wine list.


Terrararium at Queen Victoria Hotel
Clean eating doesn’t have to cease with the weather, and Terrarium helps keep the sustainable ethos alive with its new à la carte menu, launched in time for winter. Chefs Chris and Anlou Erasmus create meaty nostalgia with the likes of Steak & Caesar, Braaied Lambs Tail, Beef Tataki with oak-smoked mayonnaise, and Ocoa Chocolate Crémeux, a sophisticated take on ice cream dessert.


Kashew at The Catalyst Hotel
