On Saturday, 28 March, Trees Restaurant at the Townhouse Hotel will be helping to promote a more sustainable planet with their special Earth Hour menu.
With a strong commitment to “living green”, the Townhouse Hotel is host to a variety of sustainability initiatives, including a waste separation and recycling program and water and energy saving devices on site. Showing that ‘green’ really is their favourite colour, they will be offering a set three-course menu for R178.00pp to help promote awareness around Earth Hour 2015.
The lights will be ceremoniously switched-off, allowing guests to enjoy the evening in candlelight – starting with haddock ravioli, served in a clear mussel broth with organic vegetables and saffron aioli. This will be followed by main course, which will take the form of ‘a feast of free-range chicken’ – served two ways. The first, will be in the served in a Ballantine, stuffed with organic spinach, sun-dried tomato and feta.
Accompanying this will be confit chicken leg served on cauli-rice with baby vegetables and thyme chicken jus – the perfect combination for those who are trying to cut down on carbs.
“We have selected Reyneke’s Biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc and Graham Beck’s The Game Reserve Shiraz to be served on this evening. The Game Reserve is an exciting new wine brand – the only one associated with a private game reserve in South Africa, allowing it to demonstrate the measurable actions taken to conserve our natural habitat. Reyneke is a self-sustainable and self-supporting wine farm, with the sustainable philosophy of ‘waste not, want not’ – a farm that is constantly thinking of ways to re-use, re-purpose or recycle,” says food and beverage manager Llewellyn Joorst.
The evening will end on a sweet note with Rooibos tea panna cotta, served on organic dried cranberry soil with organic nuts, dark chocolate cigar and a vanilla anglaise-berry shooter.
