A culinary gem by the name of Splat has been making waves in Durban recently with its eclectic menu and cozy ambiance. Recently, my fiancé and I embarked on a journey to Splat, and our taste buds were treated to a memorable experience. From potstickers that teased our palates to a delightful array of sushi and burgers, here’s a review of our delightful afternoon at Splat.

A Flavourful Prelude: Potstickers to Ignite the Appetite

Our culinary escapade began with a shared starter of potstickers. These delectable dumplings, crisped to perfection, were a harmonious blend of savoury fillings encased in delicate wrappers. The flavours danced on our tongues and the accompanying dipping sauce elevated the dish further, adding a tantalizing contrast of sweet and tangy notes. The potstickers set the stage for what promised to be an exquisite dining experience.

Main Course Marvels: Sushi Symphony and Burger Bliss

We transitioned to our main courses where I opted for the sushi selection, while my fiancé chose the burger.

My sushi platter was a visual masterpiece, a symphony of colours and textures. The rolls were a harmonious blend of fresh ingredients, and each bite was a journey through contrasting flavours. The rice was impeccably seasoned, and the salmon melted in my mouth. The platter was a testament to the artistry of the sushi chef, and I savoured each piece with delight. And for only R80.

Across the table, my fiancé embarked on his own culinary adventure with the ostrich burger. The hearty patty was cooked to perfection, boasting a tantalizing char on the outside while remaining juicy within. The burger was adorned with a medley of toppings that added depth to each bite. The accompanying fries were crispy and seasoned just right, completing the burger experience with finesse.

Beverage Selection and Atmosphere: A Subdued Elegance

While Splat’s menu lacked alcohol offerings, it compensated with a carefully curated selection of non-alcoholic beverages. I opted for a cappuccino, which arrived with a creamy foam and a rich aroma. My fiancé’s watermelon-flavoured drink was a refreshing and vibrant choice, perfect for the warm afternoon.

The ambiance at Splat exuded a subdued elegance. Soft lighting and comfortable seating created an inviting atmosphere that was perfect for intimate dining. The attentive staff who were friendly and helpful, added to the overall experience, ensuring that our evening flowed seamlessly.

Final Thoughts: A Culinary Soiree to Remember

Our culinary voyage to Splat left an indelible mark on our palates and our hearts. From the tantalizing potstickers that initiated our meal to the delightful sushi and burger that followed, every dish was a testament to the culinary prowess of Splat’s kitchen.

Although the absence of alcohol on the menu was notable, the non-alcoholic offerings were inventive and refreshing. Splat’s dedication to crafting unique flavours suggests that any additions would be well thought out.

If you’re seeking a dining experience that marries creativity with culinary excellence, Splat in Glen Ashley is a destination worthy of exploration. Our afternoon was a testament to the power of good food, good company, and a restaurant that knows how to orchestrate a truly memorable dining experience.
