Pistachio

Restaurant - http://www.pistachio.co.za/

Be transported to France in the early 1900s when you visit the fine dining restaurant, Pistachio, the latest restaurant to open its doors in Durbanville.

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 11:30am to 10pm and on Sundays for lunch, Pistachio offers French elegance at its finest.

Walking through the doors of Pistachio we were enchanted by crystal chandeliers and the soothing sound of classical French music. The aesthetics of restaurant almost resemble the lavish dining hall on the Titanic, with the exception of Pistachios’ tables being square as opposed to the circular setting on the Titanic.

Start your meal by selecting from the extensive, French flavoured menu. The Escargot with Blue cheese and champagne sauce is one of the house specialities. The snails are imported from France and sautéed in garlic butter, gratinated with blue cheese and served with champagne sauce.
One of the popular main meals is Fish De Jour which comprises of the perfectly grilled fish of the day served with crispy potato wedges or creamy mashed potato and either seasonal vegetables or fresh garden salad. And finally exclusive to Pistachio, you simply have to select the Crème Brulee with homemade Pistachio ice cream for dessert.

The restaurant has an undeniable atmosphere of elegance and serenity. If you’re in the mood for a quiet, romantic night filled with exquisite French cuisine, Pistachio ticks all the boxes.
