Chef Luke has been hard at work  in the city because he is busy perfecting the 10 – 13 course tasting menu of the brand new Test Kitchen Carbon.

The restaurant will launch on March 14th and will incorporate modern European and Asian influences, delivering hefty, deep and flavorful dishes. We hope this is sharpening your desire and whetting your appetites for a true foodie adventure.

The brand new eatery will be the first of its kind in Jozi and will be hitting our streets in Oxford Parks, Dunkeld. Finally we can say na na na na Cape Town, Jozi is the place to be!

Rosebank will now become the cities top foodie destination.

“I am more excited than I’ve been in a while… I feel inspired again,” says Dale Roberts of this new project.

The Test Kitchen Carbon will be a reincarnation rather than a recreation of its namesake, and while harnessing the same skill, technique and diligence of the original, it’ll offer up a completely unique culinary experience of its own.

“This is not a relaunch or a redo. This is not the same as The Test Kitchen,” adds the chef “it is a new chapter in our creative journey.

What's on the menu

Expect bite sized pork-scratchings with a beer foam (a favourite from the chef’s dark room/light room era) and smoked quail leg, lacquer and ranch dressing to start.

The small plate courses which follow will include the likes of paella-style risotto with crayfish carpaccio and sizzling lemon and calamari oil, and a lamb rib with white anchovy Ssam smoked pecan Caesar dressing and lamb jus jelly.

The meal finishes with desserts such as upside-down lemon tart with purple shiso sorbet, and chocolate and mascarpone with smoked white chocolate ice cream.
