New things on the horizon for ASH Restaurant<\/h4>\n

This time, it\u2019s an exciting new project that will see the trendy ASH Restaurant in Church Street, Cape Town \u2013 Heeger\u2019s first culinary adventure \u2013 close its doors for winter on the 27th of May. During this time the restaurant and the brand will undo go a transformation and reopen in summer, with a fresh new look to match the culinary evolution.<\/p>\n

Foodie fans can expect something more sophisticated, more unique and dare we say it, more adventurous, as Heeger goes about reinventing her popular restaurant in Cape Town\u2019s city centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started ASH Restaurant two years ago, the menu was intensely meat driven. While that wasn\u2019t our intention, we can\u2019t deny that it has served us well as we have grown the brand and have established a following in Cape Town. But if I\u2019m honest, and true to my passions, I don\u2019t want to be limited to a \u2018steakhouse\u2019 ideal. I\u2019ve decided to make major menu changes\u00a0and focus on dishes that inspire me,\u201d says Heeger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exciting Plans<\/h4>\n

Pairing up with her sister, Mandy van der Berg, the unstoppable duo has taken on the mammoth task of project-managing the entire rebrand themselves. Coming from a family with a strong background in both creativity and construction, the goal is to create and craft a space that offers a sensorial experience unlike anything Cape Town has ever seen. The restaurant rebrand stems from a place of growth and maturity.<\/p>\n

\"ASH-Restaurant\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What should we expect?<\/h4>\n

An unpretentious but exceptional dining experience is on the cards, where delightful meals from a novel menu will be presented with finesse, and ingredients will be locally, ethically and sustainably sourced; in keeping with Ash\u2019s personal ideals of minimal-intervention food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get goose bumps at the beginning of every service,\u201d says Heeger. \u201cI want guests to feel satisfied. In all senses of the word. With the experience as a whole of course, but also with each bite, the service, the ambiance, the memories that each guest takes away with them when they walk out the door. I want everyone to feel like they got what they came for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis industry is one of pure passion. There\u2019s nothing glamorous about a gruelling 18-hour shift. But I love the freedom of creativity. Not many careers offer that same freedom of expression and open mindedness. \u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When asked what fans can expect on the exciting new menu, Heeger promises a more focused style from a chef who has grown up a little but doesn\u2019t take herself or food too seriously. Food that\u2019s cooked straight from the heart.<\/p>\n
