CAPE TOWN ISSUE 133 Oct 2008

95 Keerom is a "seriously stylish" dining destination, where old rubs shoulders with the new (the restaurant building is one of the oldest in the city), and well-groomed waitrons ensure a seamless experience.

Northern Italian cuisine is the focus, and Giorgio Nava's single-mindedness in keeping things simple with the best quality produce is exemplary. The fact that he has a fishing boat that catches the restaurant's seafood specials and farms organic produce is certainly testimony to this!

Favourites such as the risotto and the much-loved sliver-thin carpaccio with parmesan are the stars of the menu, while specials can include anything from oxtail to rabbit. Superb Italian and local wines complement a fine dining experience.
