Gigi’s Brasserie Opens @ Hotel Izulu

A palette of sophisticated black, white and silver is punctuated with hints of pink to bring in a fun, relaxed element. The focal point of the room is a crystal chandelier that lights a feature wall, beautifully covered in ‘Oscar Wilde’ wallpaper with inspirational, embossed wording. Gigi’s Brasserie looks out on to the lush, manicured gardens and full length windows allow the light to enter and therefore minimise the amount of electricity required to light the area – another aspect of this 5-star Hotel’s eco awareness.

Comments Managing Director of Hotel Izulu, Grant Pringle, “It was time for a change and to take the Hotel into a new culinary era, with new organic food styles and of course to offer guests and local residents in Ballito a new dining option that showcases the talents of our Executive Chef, Guy Gorrie. Through speaking with guests and local residents, we found that the need was not for fine dining any longer but rather less formal, bistro type cuisine while retaining the high standards that has made Gigi’s a favourite in KZN.”

Some of the menu options include Rocket, Walnut & Gorgonzola salad, Garlic Prawns, Seared Scallops, Mushroom & Parma Ham Ravioli, Assiette of Fish, Best of Oxtail, Chicken & Prawn Natal Curry, Hotel Izulu Gourmet Burger, Confit Duck, Norwegian Salmon, Parpadelle Vegetable Pasta and a Seafood Platter from the new signature dishes created by Guy Gorrie. Vegetarians have not been neglected due to an ever changing menu choice that is far from the norm.

Gigi’s Brasserie now joins the other dining options available at Hotel Izulu, those being the highly successful Chef’s Table in the heart of the kitchen where guests can watch and learn secrets and techniques from the Executive Chef and finally the romantic Wine Cellar which is a favourite for romantic evenings.
