Capella
Relaxing poolside dining at The Knolls, Capella is perfect for those who want to get away from the city crowds. The restaurant is offering a four-course dinner with a complimentary glass of festive drink of 24 and 25 December, and a four-course lunch and dinner on 25 and 26 December.
Lunch highlights include a beautifully plated maple-bourbon brined turkey teamed with heirloom carrot, truffle mashed potato, honey poached cranberries, turnips, pine nut-sage and onion bread stuffing. Or savour the contemporary creation of slow-cooked Spanish carabinero partnered with risotto style black venéré rice, charred cuttlefish, briny ikura roe, and laced with an airy saffron-shellfish emulsion.
The dinner menu presents an elegant Scottish salmon confit with green pea mousseline, asparagus, Asari clams and ikura-lemon beurre blanc, or charred New Zealand venison striploin with winter black truffle, mille-feuille potato, duck foie gras, Brussel sprouts and juniper berry gravy. For desserts, you have a choice of White Forest Cake comprising white chocolate crémeux, morello cherry ragout, Spanish almond cake, and coconut ice cream, or Gateau de Noel made of manjari chocolate namelaka, William pear compote, gingerbread biscuit, and brightened with kumquat gelée.
