Gourmet Guide Description

The legacy of the original, award-winning Test Kitchen is the heartbeat of this vibey restaurant in the Old Biscuit Mill in edgy Woodstock. Here talent is spotted, serenaded and shaped. They are the deserved winner of the Wesgro Purpose & Passion award. Chef Nathan Clark, with Luke Dale Roberts guiding, heads up the kitchen team. He is living proof of the value of sound mentoring, having started in the LDR group as a sculler in 2013.

There are two menu options, choose from either casual a la carte or the curated, set menu. From Korean-fried chicken with a ponzu emulsion and Asian salad to start, to the famous TK Wagyu burger with fries, there is something to entice and enthrall any discerning appetite. Nathan declares that desserts are not his thing, but is extremely proud of his latest, a blueberry cake with mixed berry extract and compote, served with a strawberry sorbet. Having ‘grown up’ in the hot kitchen, earning his stripes with sauces and at the grill, he is rising to the challenge, and the results are admirable. The ‘Fully Fledged” menu is a celebration of the best dishes, like the Cape Malay curry-battered prawn with Cape Malay salad, gem lettuce, coriander and yoghurt mojo. The plum duck is worthy of a visit, with chicken liver, poultry jus and pommes chateau. The five-course menu with an optional wine pairing, delights in every way.

    Great place to eat in very nice surrounding. The good was very tasteful with nice pairing wines. We had the surprise menu and we loved the oysters, the tuna and the spingbok. Some meals could be a little bit more exciting, but we had a very nice dinner

    Just an amazing evening. Our host, Joseph was superb and thoroughly knew his stuff. The food was magnificent and we had a fabulous night. We will be back when we return to SA later this year.

    Sadly this didn’t have the wow factor it has had previously. Still very good and well worth visiting on a trip to CT
