09/10/2026

A little South African nostalgia, tucked into the bread course.

Our aerated biltong dip- light, savoury and unmistakably familiar.

A new chapter has arrived at MERTIA.

This week, we welcomed our latest seasonal menu - a collection of dishes shaped by the season, South African flavours and months of ideas, tasting and refinement in the kitchen.

Every course has been considered with intention, from the first idea to the final detail on the plate.

A new menu means new stories, new flavours and a new journey through MERTIA.

We can’t wait for you to experience it.

01/10/2026

It’s often the smallest details that shape the feeling of a space.

Sometimes it’s in the curve of a chair, the way the light falls, or the details you notice between courses.

29/09/2026

A little South African comfort, reimagined.

Our curried mince vetkoek, paired with coriander and caraway, familiar flavours brought together with a MERTIA twist.

24/09/2026

It starts with the produce.

Only the freshest ingredients make their way into the MERTIA kitchen, where quality and seasonality are at the heart of what we serve.

22/09/2026

There’s something special about the moments before service.

The tables are set, the room is ready, and every detail has been carefully considered before the first guest arrives.

17/09/2026

A taste of home, seen through a MERTIA lens.

Thinly sliced chuck eye, poached in a traditional beef gravy, with geelrys, crispy potato and horseradish.

Familiar flavours, reworked with a little more intention.

15/09/2026

Before the doors open, everyone comes together.

A moment to align, talk through the evening ahead and make sure every detail is in place.

Then, the room comes to life.

02/09/2026

Some occasions call for a little more privacy.

Tucked away from the rhythm of the dining room, our Private Dining Room offers an intimate setting, perfectly suited to gatherings of 6–10 guests, from milestone celebrations and special birthdays to thoughtful dinners and memorable evenings with colleagues.

A space designed to make the occasion feel just a little more special. ✨
