Myoga Information
Award-winning chef Mike Bassett’s new venture, Myoga, is a 100-seater restaurant at the luxury Vineyard Hotel and Spa in Newlands, Cape Town. Myoga, meaning Ginger Blossom in Japanese, incorporates the innovative vibe of Mike’s city restaurant, Ginja, with the tranquility of Myoga’s spectacular position within the Vineyard Hotel’s lush, 6-acre garden. The emphasis at both restaurants is on contemporary, global fusion. At Myoga diners can expect the same passion and exacting standards as at Ginja, but in a more gentle setting. There is a synergy between Mike’s three restaurants, Ginja, Shoga and Myoga, as some of the chefs have moved between the restaurants and there is ongoing communication of ideas between the three kitchens.
A welcome addition to the dining scene in the Southern Suburbs, Myoga is five minutes from the Claremont CBD and a leisurely 15-minute drive from the city centre. Controlled access to the hotel grounds means that there is constant security and secure parking. The beauty of the gardens at the Vineyard, combined with the family-owned hotel’s wonderful history (it was Lady Anne Barnard’s country house in the late 1700s), creates a very special setting for Mike’s fun, new restaurant. Diners have the choice of a variety of dining options, with the main restaurant area, two terraces, a separate smoking lounge (in part of the original homestead), and private dining in the wine cellar beneath the restaurant. Non-smokers can relax with a pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge next to the bar or on the terrace, and the barman can whip up a variety of intriguing Myoga cocktails.
