MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Afro-Portuguese chef Maria-José de Frias named her restaurant after this national park in the Congo Basin in her home country (DRC). Here, produce from Quebec meets sub-Saharan African spices and ingredients, such as yam, plantain, turmeric and manioc. Each plate showcases sincere, spicy fusion cuisine, a shining example being msukumo wa kisiwa, in which beef blade roast is cooked at a low temperature and glazed with a curry and turmeric jus. In the inviting, intimate space of this restaurant focused on faraway horizons, Zoya, the chef's daughter, is a friendly and generous presence. Exclusively South African wine list.
