Welcome to the 7th Annual RASA Rosetta Awards 2013
WELCOME TO KITCHEN BAR Kitchen Bar was established in 2005 to provide Johannesburg with a true intercontinental dining experience from silver service to café style relaxing. Founded by Chris Tatsakis, this restaurant remains one of Johannesburg's finest establishments and with 520 seats it is one of the largest restaurants in the country. Located in the very vibrant Design Quarter in Fourways, Kitchen Bar is a perfect meeting place for people. The space is warm, comfortable and has a fantastic ambiance. Our customers also benefit from our wireless internet access. Our menu offers a wide selection of mouth watering dishes to tempt any palette. For something light, try the Club Sandwich, a triple decker with bacon, ham, egg, lettuce, mayo, cheddar tomato or a Chicken Burger with pineapple. For something a bit more substantial, try one of the Kitchen Bar Pastas or grab a pizza (you can even design your own)! For the meat lovers, a must have is the Lamb Shank Signature Dish, slow roasted to perfection and served with briami veg mix, and a choice of chips, baked potato or mash. The Kitchen Bar also offers a variety of vegetarian dishes and fresh salads. One cannot visit the Kitchen Bar without trying the Signature Chocolate Brownies but the Frozen Yoghurt Bliss, Hot Chocolate Soufflé, Almond and Maraschino and the assorted cakes are well worth the visit too!
