Flavours of the KZN South Coast

Kayla-Ann’s Restaurant is excited to announce the launch of its new seasonal menu, featuring ten meticulously crafted tasting meals that celebrate the vibrant and diverse flavours of the south coast. This culinary experience created by owner and award-winning chef, Master Chef, and My Kitchen Rules (MKR) judge Kayla-Ann, whose dedication to fresh, local ingredients and innovative cooking techniques invites guests on a unique gastronomic journey.

The new menu showcases a variety of beautifully plated dishes that highlight the essence of coastal cuisine, including:

• Smoked Mussels with Bacon Tops & Cream Cheese: A delightful blend of smokiness and creaminess that elevates the humble mussel, with special thanks to Bryant for this culinary inspiration.
• Crispy Pork with Mustard, Pickled Cabbage & Piccalilli: A hearty dish that pairs crispy pork with tangy accompaniments, creating a satisfying contrast of flavors.
• Wood Fired Local Lamb with Potato & Green Beans: Juicy local lamb, perfectly cooked and served with seasonal potatoes and green beans, highlighting the best of the region’s produce.

We invite guests to come and experience these flavours that are close to our hearts.” explains Chef Kayla-Ann.
