Sidedish Theatre Bistro

Overture…

It is tempting to view pre-theatre dining as a side show; as something diminished in value when compared with the thespian genius that will later transport the audience to another place. Yet for us, this is it. We have only this opportunity to add to your evening of entertainment, so we’d rather view it as the overture; not the focal point of the night, admittedly, but an important one nevertheless.

Sidedish is the bistro dining off-shoot of Dish Food & Social. In this guise we have catered for everything from society weddings to corporate breakfasts and large events such as the Nederburg Auction, Loerie Awards and J&B Met.  Consequently, the food we cook covers a wide repertoire of culinary traditions.  All of it though, is founded on a love for food and a respect for great ingredients.

The menu represents our taste in cuisine, which we hope resonates positively with your likes and preferences. If not, we ask that you please tell us while you’re still here, so that we have the opportunity of remedying the situation.  Think of it this way: while we can put your steak back under the grill for another couple of minutes, you’re unlikely to get the cast of EVITA to repeat a chorus!

The archetypal Caveman ate for sustenance only. The men amongst us may still be restricted to using a limited number of words on a daily basis, but now food also embodies entertainment, recreation, art, and even some science. So, it’s kind of cool to be cooking alongside Pieter Toerien’s various theatrical productions.

Bon Appetit!
