GRUB & VINE has announced the launch of its second restaurant ā Grub & Vine Norval – which will open its doors to the public on 30 November ā just in time for the festive season.
āSituated at the Norval Foundation in the Constantia Wine Valley ā a custodian and protector of African visual art ā Grub & Norval sets out to celebrate the commonality between beautiful food, wine and art,ā says Matt Manning, chef patron and director of the Grub & Vine group.
āArt ā whether it be visual, culinary or the artistry of winemaking ā invokes emotion. It has the power to make you feel nostalgic, invigorated or inspired. We not only believe in the beautiful synergy between all three; our vision is for our guests to feel it too.ā
Manning further elaborates on the inspiration behind this collaboration: āWhen I visited the Norval Foundation in August, Louis showed me his impressive on-site wine collection. That was my āpenny-dropā moment: we needed to do a Grub & Vine at Norval, bringing everything we do well at our Bree Street establishment to this stunning setting and art haven.ā
Louis Norval sees the collaboration as a natural fit. āMattās reputation precedes him, and we are delighted to welcome Grub & Vine to the Norval Foundation. Grub & Vine Norval will serve as the most natural extension thereof, a wonderful marriage of gastronomy, art and wine.ā
Just like its sister restaurant on Bree Street, Grub & Vine Norval promises a warm and inviting ambience.
āRich colours and gorgeous textures will inject a sense of warmth into the space while not detracting from the structural magnificence of the Norval building. Just off the main dining room and up a staircase is the Grub & Vine bar, where guests can enjoy a glass of wine. Weāre also excited about our spacious outdoor deck, which will be very popular in the warmer months,ā says Manning.
āWeāre thrilled to bring Grub & Vine to the southern suburbs, offering guests elegant bistro fare partnered with a fantastic wine offering in a stunning setting.ā
Grub & Vine Norval is now open for bookings.
