Newmark Unveils Monthly Culinary Extravaganza: Pop Up Dining Experiences with Chef Chris Erasmus & Sommelier Marlvin Gwese – Book Your Seat Now

Get ready for a culinary rollercoaster as Newmark Hotels & Reserves unveils its newest venture: Pop Up Dining Experiences! Picture this: Chef Chris Erasmus and Sommelier Marlvin Gwese are joining forces to bring you a series of gastronomic escapades that will tickle your taste buds and leave you begging for more.

Launching the gastronomic extravaganza on September 29 at Dash Restaurant in Cape Town’s V&A Precinct, this promises to be a monthly rendezvous at different Newmark restaurants. But here’s the catch – seats are as limited as your chances of resisting these delectable delights, so booking your spot is a must.

What can you expect from this culinary circus, you ask? Well, the debut menu on September 29 is a 6-course spectacle featuring pepper-seared yellowfin tuna loin dancing with a glass of creamy Creation Viognier and slow fire-roasted beef brisket strutting alongside a peppery Boschendal Black Angus Red.

Chef Chris Erasmus, a culinary wizard who’s worked his magic in top-notch restaurants worldwide, spills the beans: “Since joining Newmark, I’ve been a mentor, but now I’m putting on my chef’s hat and cooking up dishes that I love. Get ready for classic ‘Chris-style’ with a dash of foraged ingredients and local produce.”

As for Marlvin Gwese, the maestro behind the wine curtain, he’s not your average sommelier. Having worked with big brands like Cape Grace and The Liz McGrath collection, he’s now Newmark’s Group Sommelier. According to Marlvin, “Chris and I have become foodie accomplices, planning this menu and pairing each course with unique Cape wine vintages. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill selections; they’re gems that showcase the variety and quality of the Cape’s fine wines.”

Neil Markovitz, the CEO of Newmark Hotels & Reserves, chimes in: “Food and beverage are at the heart of what we do. We’re not your typical hotel support – we aim to be the crème de la crème. Chris and Marlvin are culinary visionaries, and an evening featuring their distinct styles is nothing short of an auspicious occasion.”

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this epicurean journey! Book your seat for the September 29 Pop Up Dining Experience at Dash Restaurant & Bar or on Dineplan.
