KevFabFood turned 37 yesterday, 4 March...my partner organised a surprise birthday lunch - never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be taken to one of the restaurants that was on my bucket list, and never thought I would have the opportunity and privilege to go to - but after the 45min drive from Johannesburg we arrived at my surprise location...From the minute you arrive at the gates of the Orient Hotel you know you have arrived somewhere truly magical and special - the Mosaic Restaurant is one of those incredible places that no words can truly capture the beauty, magic and soulfulness of the destination!We arrived a little early and enjoyed walking around the Orient / Mosaic gardens and truly took in the splendor and beauty of the destination - we then went into the most amazing room that transports you back to an era of luxury, style and magic...we enjoyed pre-drinks and canapes before heading into the restaurant - this was the start of the amazing experience...Chef Chantel Dartnall, who is the owner and foodie magician, is the most special and down-to-earth woman you will ever have the privilege to meet! Her food is creative, visually a work of art and to the taste-buds...explosion of incredible flavours! She takes the time with each table to explain the various options (from a 5 to a 9 course meal) and also takes your main course option - she is never too busy for a smile and always willing to chat and have a photo or two with you - her calm, friendly nature makes it hard to believe that she trained in "Hells Kitchen" - no other than Gordon Ramsey!We had the 9 course feast and each course was just incredible - the set menus are changed by the change of season and we had the Summer-themed menu which was beyond incredible...pictures paint a thousand words - so instead of explaining each course - below are pictures of the menu and the dishes...This is by far the most special, unique and incredible restaurant KevFabFood has been to - Chef truly embodies the ultimate foodie dream of creative, delicious food for all the senses...best of all she knows the best ingredient - L.O.V.E! This restaurant lived up to my extreme expectations - in fact it went over and beyond my wildest dreams...this is truly a "try before you die" experience - Mosaic celebrate their 11th year in 2017 and may they only go from Strength to Strength!For bookings or for more information about this magical, foodie heaven - please have a look at their web-site https://www.restaurantmosaic.com
