That was the experience when The Grill Room, at Wheatbaker Hotel, recently held a menu tasting event for its new cuisine.

Chef Jannes Melis

The five-course meal was kicked off by the amuse bouche, French for “mouth amuser”.

Amuse bouche, which has over time become a bonafide course, is a bite-sized hors d’œuvre which sets the tone for the dinner.

Alongside the amuse bouche, guests got their taste buds kicking with either of Bollinger Special Cuvee(champagne), Cote Des Roses(white wine), and Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet(red wine).
