Sample of a taste of Africa at Moyo

MOYO has launched a new, broader
menu across all five of its properties in
Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.
Nick Eleftheriadis, md of moyo’s
brand management company, Fournews
Developments, described moyo –
meaning ‘soul’ in Swahili – as a
restaurant that gave people an Africanmood
drink and food experience.
Chef, Ane van Zyl, who created
the new menu, said it offered meals
that drew inspiration from across the
continent, taking people on a culinary
journey, experiencing a taste of Africa.
Menus include Nigerian sweet potato
and chickpea koftas, Moroccan spiced
beef fillet, Zimbabwean chicken thigh
dovi and Mozambican peri-peri prawns.
The menu still offers old moyo
favourites and has a strong appeal
to the broader South African taste,
focusing on the important local
market, says Nick. Some of the
traditional, re-worked, South African
dishes include peri-peri chicken livers,
bunny chow, west coast mussels,
ostrich neck potjiekos and Cape Malay
bobotie.
