Certainly in the four years since he and wife Willa created Racine, Shaun Arantz has constantly been mentioned as one of the best chefs outside our major urban sprawl. And his current form proves his early acclaim was no flash in the pan. Today, in the sleek, high-ceilinged dining room overlooking La Colline's vineyards, the food mood is more assured, more sophisticated but just as inventive. Entrees and desserts are just as impressive as mains. Begin with a sublime goat's curd mousse with celery, zucchini, egg and truffle honey and close with a creamy rice confection that suggests Arantz is one of just two people in the world who can elevate rice pudding to fine dining. (Coincidentally, the other is Anna Wong at Neila just an hour away.) A main dish you won't easily forget is the slow-cooked lamb rump with carrot, yoghurt and quinoa. Floor service is exemplary, wine selections thoughtful and local ingredients are highlighted on the menu.
