Owner of both Sunset Beach and Tuscany Beach restaurants on Camps Bay’s beach front, Nigel Newhouse, has
amalgamated restaurant concepts, menus and floor-space of both restaurants, thrown in a top-class sushi bar
and created ‘…the hottest spot in Cape Town.’
The newly re-launched Tuscany Beach offers style and cuisine to suit just about everyone. Its split–level flooring allows for surreptitious changes in ambience that caters perfectly for Tuscany’s chameleon-like temperament, while chef and kitchen manager Simon Newhouse offers a menu that fuses the best in Italian and Asian cuisine and provides dishes to suit every taste and preference.
From early morning until the wee hours of the following, Tuscany Beach offers optimal ambience and cuisine, with one period of the day merging effortlessly into the next. Breakfast, which has already become an institution amongst locals, flows into lunch, lunch into afternoon tea, afternoon tea into sundowners and cocktail hour, cocktail hour into early suppers, early suppers into fine dining, and fine dining into chilled-out after dinner drinks.
For the trendy, hip and happening, a cocktail bar complete with spirit-flaring barmen beckons from the beach, while an upbeat evening spent at the sushi bar with Johnny, Cape Town’s popular Asian sushi-maestro, complemented with the pink hues of sunset over the Atlantic, provides the idyllic ending to every evening.
Those wanting a relaxed breakfast, lunch or chic afternoon tea will delight in Tuscany’s modern tables with layers and layers of linen, their diverse menu and cosmopolitan vibe.
For romantics and fine-diners, a raised level equipped with fully dressed tables, soothing music and Asian-styled conservatory with koi pond offers a uniquely intimate ambience. With quality service and haute cuisine, Tuscany Beach is an absolute winner when entertaining the discerning diner or selecting a spot to indulge a loved-one.
Tuscany Beach’s contemporary interior is a combination of the tastes and passions of Nigel and Maxine Newhouse and embraces the feel of St Tropez café-life with vibrancy set against the buzz of cosmopolitan life. Natural floors and furnishings are accented by lashings of bright red, blue and lime green. Folding sliding doors open up the entire front of the restaurant drawing the surrounding environment inwards and highlighting the central sushi bar and adjacent cocktail bar. Great attention has been paid to the lighting of both the restaurant and bar. Contemporary Italian chandeliers provide soothing light, hundreds of star lights scattered across the ceiling create the feel of being outdoors while the latest LED lighting, where one colour merges with another, mimics Tuscany Beach’s ability to transform throughout the day and creates the restaurants trendy and sophisticated ambience.
Tuscany Beach, a 220-seater restaurant and cocktail bar, is situated on Victoria Road, Camps Bay and opens daily from 07h00 to late. |
