Pinotage - Merchant Reviews

Pinotage is a restaurant and bar serving South African specialties and the only South African restaurant in Beijing. Named after one of South Africa's most prized grape varieties, the Beijing-based Pinotage is also a professional South African wine importer.

South Africa is known as the Land of Rainbows, and South African cuisine is also known for its diversity. Meat makes up a significant portion of South African cuisine, and Pinotage has a small variety of dishes, but it covers many distinctive South African dishes. For example, Peri peri chicken, or South African roast chicken, is a well-known South African specialty. The process of grilling the chicken itself is not complicated, and the essence of the chicken lies in the marinade "Pino-Peri" of the chicken. Pinotage's "Pino-Peri" sauce is modeled after the signature roast chicken flavor of Nando's, a well-known British rotisserie chicken chain, blended with red peppers, lemons, onions, garlic, cloves, etc., and carefully adjusted and improved to make the taste even better.

South African air-dried beef is also worth trying, a very popular specialty snack in southern Africa. Beef jerky is firm on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich aroma that leaves a mouthful on the lips and teeth, making it ideal for pairing with red wine. The roasted beef bone marrow is quite amazing, the large pieces of beef bones are covered with minced meat, the bone marrow is mellow and fragrant, oily but not greasy, and it is also a must to eat with crispy toast. The ostrich burger on the menu is also refreshing. In South Africa, ostrich meat is a very common food, ostrich meat is low in fat and high in protein, and is known for its rich nutritional value. Pinotage's hamburger pies are made with ostrich minced meat, which is fine, residue-free, and has a weak fishy texture and a special taste. The bread crust of the burger is baked with mixed grains, which is also rich in nutrients, and the whole burger is nutritious and delicious. Pinotage also offers a number of classic South African barbecue meats, such as grilled sea bass, grilled chicken, grilled lamb chops and a variety of skewers, as well as grilled corn and potatoes.

The restaurant serves nearly 100 varieties of South African wines from more than 20 well-known wineries in South Africa, and most of the South African wines here are priced below the retail price. Conradie Pinotage, Boland Cappupino Ccinotage, etc., are good choices, and they go well with ostrich meat and red meat. The restaurant's professional sommelier will help customers select the wines to ensure that they get the best taste experience of South African wines. The restaurant also offers wine ordering and private wine tastings.

Located in Shunyi, Pinotage is tucked away in a hidden compound with restaurants, cafes, bars and children's play rooms, as well as a mini-brewery serving freshly brewed beers from time to time. The restaurant is quiet and comfortable, the service is warm, and the small bungalow has a large lawn in front of it, and pets can also be entered, which is very suitable for party activities.
