Brooklyn caters for all kinds of tastes and moods – as these eateries attest to!
Kream
Brooklyn Bridge, 570 Fehrsen Street
This ultra-stylish restaurant serves modern cuisine in a contemporary setting – complete with intimate closed booths and terrace-style seating which is as suitable for romantic dinners as it is for private business functions. From the get go, you know you are in good hands and the hand-picked selection of wines from all over the world is already a taste of what’s to come. You can even make an appointment to pre-taste wines! And then there’s the food – with literally something for every taste: Think gourmet sushi, scrumptious salads and the perfect grills they’ve become known for – like the masterfully chargrilled 270 g beef fillet with roasted bone marrow, bordelaise sauce, roasted onion, tomato, field mushroom and fondant potato; or the simply unforgettable chargrilled 300 g sirloin topped with a blue cheese sauce, crumbled blue cheese and crispy biltong shavings, onion marmalade, spinach and fondant potatoes. There’s also a vegetarian risotto of the day and a Cape Malay vegetable curry, as well as various chicken dishes, such as chicken confit cooked in duck fat and served with a parsley risotto and toasted coriander lemon sauce. Fine dining at its very best…
Huckleberry’s
Cnr Florence Ribeiro and Nicolson Streets
There’s something to be said for old-fashioned starters like crumbed mushrooms, snails and thinly sliced beef carpaccio, drizzled with a special homemade dressing. And spicy chicken livers, chili chicken or beef and nachos covered with bolognaise sauce and smothered in mozzarella and cheddar cheese. At Huckleberry’s these are par for the course, as well as chef’s specialties like spatchcock chicken, ox tongue (served with mash and veggies and a creamy mustard sauce) and sweet chili chicken fillet stuffed with peppadews spinach and wrapped with bacon. For the very hungry, the pork spare ribs, T-bone steaks and a chicken and rib combo are just the ticket and the
pizza choices include all the usual suspect – as well as the option to build your own from a wide choice of fillings (and upgrade it to a calzone, should you wish). But the real highlight are the platters, which includes the Huck’s delight (pork loin riblets, chicken wings, cocktail cheese grillers, samosas, potato croquets and chips. served with sweet chili or honey and mustard sauce), the fisherman’s platter (crumbed prawns, crumbed calamari, mussels, fish bites, potato croquets and chips, served with garlic butter sauce or sweet chili) and the sausage platter (cocktail cheese grillers, cocktail beef sausages, cocktail viennas, cocktail pork sausages, potato croquets and chips, served with sweet chili or honey and mustard sauce).
