<\/p>\nCape Town latest cocktail bar, Salon Pot Luck, is bringing an exclusive lounging experience to the local culinary scene. Supporting the group\u2019s evolution is a brand-new venture, Salon Pot Luck, which will open on the first floor of the Old Biscuit Mill\u2019s silo on the 8th of March. Serving a modern take on French-inspired canap\u00e9s, clever cocktails and fine wines, Dale Roberts envisages the space as a ‘library’ that guests can visit before or after dining at The Pot Luck Club. It will also function as a standalone destination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSalon Pot Luck will add value to the current experience in a stylish industrial space decorated in an old-world style. The menu will be inspired by traditional French pastries, reinvented in our unique way,\u201d explains Dale Roberts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWhat diners can expect<\/h4>\n
Jason Kosmas will also be overseeing the menu at the new venture, and diners can expect the likes of a savoury Black Forest ‘gateau’ \u2013 foie gras, vanilla, Parmesan, shortbread, dark chocolate and cherry jelly; and an ‘Opera’ cake \u2013 chicken and duck liver parfait, porcini and coffee.<\/p>\n
Maurice Paliaga, the designer on the project, explains the process behind the d\u00e9cor: \u201cIn keeping with the theme of evolution, our initial conversations went around repurposing, recycling and using local artisans to create an experience in an old office space, five floors below The Pot Luck Club. We had a strong gridded structure to contend within the remnants of the old Pyotts silo, which is now over 100 years old. Luke felt it important that the space was broken up into various areas, and we created a general seating space backed by an elegant bar and banquette seating, with ‘love nest-style’ booths. Velvet drapes, Art Deco-style stained glass, brass lamps, mid-century furnishings and Venetian plaster complete the look.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMeet the team behind Salon Pot Luck<\/h4>\n
Tony Tavaziva, who has been a waiter at The Pot Luck Club since 2016, will be taking the reins as manager at Salon Pot Luck. \u201cWorking with Luke has changed my life, and I\u2019m honoured to be entrusted with this exciting new opportunity,\u201d he says. Xolisa Dyabaza, who has worked with Dale Roberts since his days at La Colombe, will fill the beverage manager\u2019s shoes and will oversee the beverage offering, while his brother Vincent, a former sculler at The Test Kitchen, will be the floor manager. Dillan Kannemeyer, another Pot Luck Club success story, is at the helm in the kitchen, working with Jason Kosmas to curate the menu.<\/p>\n
Kannemeyer, who has risen through the ranks from griller in 2016 to senior sous chef, is looking forward to taking on the challenge, \u201cI can\u2019t quite believe this is happening yet, it\u2019s very exciting,\u201d he says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud that Tony, Dillan, Xolisa and Vincent will be taking their places at Salon Pot Luck. Their growth within the group has been remarkable and these new positions are well deserved,\u201d says Dale Roberts.<\/p>\n
