CSIR ICC where good food is made | The Planner

The CSIR International Convention Centre is renowned for its experience in hosting events of a high calibre. Judging by the outstanding feedback from its clients, the CSIR ICC bespoke menu offerings demonstrate that food is not merely a physical pleasure but one of life’s joys that bring about the desired experience and fulfilment for clients. 

“We always approach each client menu request as a new challenge to showcase our versatility and as an opportunity come up with new menus and dishes”, explains Dieter Botha, CSIR ICC Food & Beverage Manager.

What sets the CSIR ICC ahead of the pack is its ability to infuse both authentic South African dishes with dishes that have a modern flare to cater for all tastes. The truly South African cuisine most international clients look forward to experiencing is very popular at the CSIR ICC. While understanding the importance of offering authentic South African cuisine, brain food and healthy menu choices are also in the forefront of all menu selection creations equally intended to give a tantalising jaunt. Dishes that have proven to be a popular choice for the ICC clients are Umqusho (casserole of maize & beans in tomato) and the Chakalaka chicken breast strips with African dumplings served on a bed of spicy salsa.

 “An exciting event that we look forward to creating delectable dishes for is the upcomming CSIR Excellence Awards. The client has requested an African-chic themed menu served butler style and action stations for a thousand guests. I am confident that our kitchen team will not come short of offering our clients an exhilarating dining experience”, says Dieter.
