Winter Menu Experience at Umi Restaurant

01 July 2018

It's always a treat to go out for lunch or dinner in Campsbay - not only do you have one of the best views in the world but all the restaurants are unique with gourmet cuisine and stylish decor to match. 

Umi is a modern Japanese Restaurant that offers authentic, contemporary Japanese with inventive twists. This is a great spot for entertaining friends and they have a wide selection of delicious cocktails - making it the perfect restaurant for drinks after work. 

They also have a winter special at the moment that's great value for money, but let's get to it. Do not continue reading if you're hungry! 

For our food experience, Ritza had a Starter, Main and Dessert from their current Winter Special Menu and I tried some of their signature dishes for the full food experience. 

COCKTAILS: 

Litchi and Elderflower Caipirinha (Ketel One Vodka, litchi purée, elderflower syrup & lime quarters) and Classic Bellini (Fresh peach, peach extract, topped with sparkling wine)

STARTERS:

Flamed Edamame with Sake, butter, lemon & sea salt

Octopus Carpaccio with Smoked Paprika & Garlic Aioli - WINTER MENU OPTION 

Mussels with Sake, garlic, ginger chilli & scallions - RItza has mussels at every restaurant and these are now one of her top picks in Cape Town - definitely worth a try! 

MAINS:

Sea Bass with Champagne, miso yuzu & lotus root - highly recommended! 

Chargrilled Hake Cucumber, Coconut Sambal & Bonito Mash - WINTER MENU OPTION

COCKTAILS ROUND TWO:

Elderflower & Cucumber with Tanqueray Gin, elderflower cordial, cucumber & limes as well as a Morello Cherry Mojito with Bacardi Rum, cherry syrup, lime quarters, mint leaves & ginger ale

DESSERT:

Chocolate Fondant with ice cream & ginger crumble - this is the best fondant I've had this year. If you're a chocolate lover, this oozy dessert is a must! 

Lemongrass Panna Cotta Mango & Candied Chilli - WINTER MENU OPTION 

Overall we loved the food at Umi Restaurant. The flavour of each dish is incredibly well balanced and we loved their unique combinations. 

Umi's Winter Special offers a 2-course menu for R190 and a 3-course menu for R230.
