AC Hotel combines the beauty of modern design with a European soul and Spanish roots.\u00a0 The brand believes that purposeful design improves their guests\u2019 lives and provides them an opportunity to slow down and uncover the beauty in the essentials.<\/p>\n

Over the past few months, the hotel has been fortunate enough to welcome thousands of travelers from all around the world.<\/p>\n

General manager Michael Liffmann says: \u201cAs a new property in Cape Town and the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa region, we exposed the market to a unique offering and with this enjoyed the learning curve it presented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new menu offers more heartier dishes and an even larger array for vegetarians<\/a> and vegans, he says.<\/p>\n

The Chef<\/h4>\n

The new menu is carefully crafted by the hotel\u2019s head chef, Jessica Sutcliffe. With feature dishes such as bobotie buns, corn ribs, spinach soft tacos, pumpkin churros and more.<\/p>\n

Sutcliffe has sharpened her knives in kitchens around the world. Her journey started on the Channel Islands, taking her through England and Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe menu is inspired by our European heritage and the AC Hotel brand. However, our location called for us to inject our unique Capetonian flair into it to create a distinctive experience,\u201d says Sutcliffe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While in Scotland, she the head chef, at the age of 25, for a 2 AA Rosette restaurant. In the \u201950s, the AA\u2019s Rosette Award scheme was the first UK-wide scheme. Assessing the quality of food served by restaurants and hotels.<\/p>\n

Of all the restaurants across the UK, around only 10% are of a standard which is worthy of 1 Rosette and above. Her journey ended in Spain, \u201ccreating great food\u201d at The Cellar Door in Playa Flamenco. On returning to South Africa, she took up a position with the Kove Collection before joining AC Hotel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery menu has a few crowd-pleasers and we believe ours will be dishes such as; the \u201cmielie\u201d ribs, bobotie buns and coconut cr\u00eapes. These perfectly showcase our European roots injected with that special Cape Town flair.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This European heritage is weaved throughout the menu. Crafted with artisanal touches to showcase the best of South African cuisine.<\/p>\n
