In addition to the boutique eatery with a seasonal menu, NCW will offer a space for cocktail parties, exhibitions and pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>The style of food might be labelled fine dining, but Ence calls it \u2018food with a story\u2019. Part of that story is a focus on the provenance of the ingredients he uses, from the farm to his kitchen. This philosophy extends to the wine offering, each bottle of which has a great story to tell.<\/p>\n<p>The Edwardian building that houses the restaurant overlooking Main Road in Melville has been lovingly restored. The chef lives in another restored residence on the property. This venue has been hard-won: Ence even put in a blue-collar stint to raise the capital he needed to bring NCW to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How to book?<\/h3>\n<p>From 1 April &#8211; 2 May 2021, NCW Restaurant will be offering a fantastic fine dining special for only R545 per person with option wine pairing at an additional R320 per person.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Restaurant Week Dinner Menu:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Canapes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smoked Yellowtail<\/li>\n<li>Duck Five Spice Croquette<\/li>\n<li>Mushroom &amp; Truffle Cornetto<\/li>\n<li><em>Villiera Brut Tradition MCC NV<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Starter<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dashi, Tofu, Shimeji, Spring Onion<br \/>\n<em>David and Nadia Aristargos 2019<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Chicken Terrine, Liver Parfait, Beetroot, Peas<br \/>\n<em>Sijnn White 2018<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Main<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parsley Risotto, Steak Tartare, Quail Egg<br \/>\n<em>De Trafford Blueprint Syrah 2017<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Dorado, Tarragon Beurre Blanc, Pomme Anna<br \/>\n<em>Fledge &amp; Co Fume Blanc 2019<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chocolate Landscape<br \/>\n<em>De Krans Cape Tawny Limited Reserve<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Steamed Ginger Pudding, Rum, Cre\u0300me Anglaise<br \/>\n<em>De Krans Cape Tawny Limited Reserve<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OTm2be\"><strong>Book your seats now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restaurant Week is back!
