This was certainly the feeling amongst residents and outside guests who enjoy frequenting Simbithi Country Club\u2019s Fig Tree restaurant while it was closed for construction for a few months. But now \u2018The Fig\u2019 is back and everyone is happy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">T<\/span><span class=\"s1\">heir \u2018famous\u2019 Fish &amp; Chips and Cashew Crusted Chicken, their incredible curry buffets and an atmosphere that is so festive and relaxing that no one ever seems to want to go home . . . these are just a few things that have kept people coming back to Simbithi Country Club\u2019s Fig Tree Restaurant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">And now, after some \u2018sprucing up\u2019 and a full kitchen renovation, the restaurant, named for the beautiful Fig Tree that once stood at the centre of the club, is back in action and better than ever. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But while the main restaurant may have been closed for business, with some creative ideas and careful planning, the Fig Tree team still managed to keep diners happy for during the shut-down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The restaurant and main kitchen closed in the second week of January and officially re-opened just a few weeks ago. Simbithi marketing and communications coordinator Jodi Chetty says it was wonderful to see the food and beverage teams come together and find creative ways to keep producing great food out of a very small \u2018interim kitchen\u2019, for the past few months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe whole team was working out of the halfway house kitchen, serving everything on the deck. Somehow though, we managed to keep our nightly specials running (like Mondays \u2018mom\u2019s night off\u2019, \u2018Teppanyaki &amp; Sushi Tuesdays\u2019 and the ever-popular Wednesday Curry Buffet), and the number of diners coming through our doors stayed consistent throughout the revamp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1643 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/DSC_0577-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But the Fig Tree menu was limited during the process and, Jodi says, diners are thrilled to have their \u2018Fig\u2019 back in action. The renovation was very necessary, she adds, and formed part of a phased \u2018master plan\u2019 to upgrade the country club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe estate has grown and evolved and our facilities needed to be upgraded to keep up with the demand. We are currently at 80% occupancy with 6500 residents, and the external club memberships are growing rapidly as well. With a pax of over 400 in the restaurant and deck and three full event\/conference venues, the kitchen was just not capably of coping with the volume of orders coming through. It was literally bursting at the seams!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The carefully thought out, new-and-improved kitchen is of a much higher standard and has been structured in such a way as to ensure each \u2018department\u2019 within the kitchen has its own section to work in. The work flow is much more efficient as well, with a special cold room for desserts and an improved \u2018pass area\u2019, from which carefully plated fine dining meals can be served with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">And this was proven when, just days before re-opening to the public, the restaurant hosted the Cha\u00eene des R\u00f4tisseurs World Cha\u00eene Day celebration with 180 people, including the president of the Cha\u00eene des R\u00f4tisseurs Afrique du Sud, in attendance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The restaurant itself didn\u2019t undergo any dramatic changes, apart from a few aesthetic improvements, which give it a fresher, more open and contemporary feel. It was officially opened on 16 April. \u201cSo many people told us that they didn\u2019t realise how much they loved The Fig Tree until it was closed,\u201d says Jodi. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">With a bigger, more functional bar area and the ever-popular kids play park still in operation, the response from residents and visitors has been phenomenal. And Simbithi general manager Malcolm Samuel agrees. \u201cWe are exceptionally proud of our teams for their hard work in upgrading our kitchen and restaurant, and to our community for their support. We look forward to welcoming the greater Ballito back to the Fig Tree.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Details: <\/i><\/b>www.simbithi.com \/ 032 946 5403.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Text:<\/strong> Leah Shone | <strong>Photographs:<\/strong> Chris Allan Photo<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you don\u2019t know how much you love something until it\u2019s not there anymore.
