54 on Bath

The Tsogo Sun 54 on Bath Hotel is located within the leafy suburb of Rosebank. A short distance from the popular Rosebank Mall and The Zone @ Rosebank, this urban hotel offers luxury at its very best. The hotel restaurant, Level Four, is a favourite among guests and visitors. Their menu is exquisite, curated by Executive Chef Matthew Foxon. Nearly every dish on the menu features his bold signature style and distinctive flair, ensuring a memorable culinary experience for all diners.

One of the standout features at Level Four Restaurant is their afternoon tea. Served daily from 14:30 to 17:00, Level Four's afternoon tea resembles the traditional English high tea experience. Believed to have been invented by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford in the 19th Century, afternoon tea is a time honoured tradition worth embracing. The Duchess often found herself peckish in the late afternoon. In those days, lunch was served early in the day, while dinner was only presented late at night. To combat her 'sinking feeling', the Duchess began to take tea with snacks in her bedroom in the afternoon. Soon, she began to invite friends over and the tradition was born!

Afternoon tea delights at Level Four Restaurant

Level Four Restaurant offers three high tea alternatives to choose from: Traditional afternoon tea, Royal afternoon tea and Champagne tea. We opted for the Traditional Tea, which includes English tea sandwiches, freshly baked scones, fresh cream and preserves, assorted afternoon pastries and premium tea leaves of your choice.

Picking just one tea to sample was endlessly difficult. Not because there isn't ample choice, but because they all sounded so good! Eventually we went with the Jade of Africa - 54 on Bath's house blend, a delicate and fragrant red tea with strawberries and sunflowers.

Needless to say, our tea paired perfectly with the array of savoury and sweet delights brought to the table, cute quiches, scrumptious sarmies and sensational scones. What more could you need? The top tier of our high tea plate overflowed with pastries, cakes and even a red velvet doughnut with lemon cheesecake filling. However, it was Level Four's fluffy, light scones that truly made the experience. Accompanied by seasonal jam, cream and mild cheese, these scones were the perfect little appetisers.

Depending on the weather, Level Four either serves afternoon tea in their tranquil gardens or inside the restaurant. During winter you can take a seat alongside the warming fireplace. Make sure to book your table beforehand. You can call the restaurant on +27 11 344 8442 or email them at [email protected].

Experience Fine-Dining At Level Four

Delight your senses with some fine-dining and elegance at 54 on Bath’s Level Four restaurant . They have just launched their new winter menu as well as a brand-new dining experience at the ‘Chef’s Table’. This menu offers meals that suit the chilly weather and focus on the deliciousness of comfort food that warms the body from the inside out, all the while appealing to their discerning guests’ expectations.

Book The Chef's Table At Level Four

The Chef’s Table, which has been especially crafted, accommodates five to seven people and is positioned where guests can see the whole kitchen ‘theatre’ unfolding, including the preparation and cooking, plates being plated, and orders being called. The special six-course ‘chef’s choice’ menu includes a surprise seventh course from one of the dishes being prepared for the evening, as well as a bottle of Pierre Jourdan Brut and wine pairing with four of the courses. This experience costs R1 200 per person.

The new menu has been created by Executive Chef, Matthew Foxon, together with his sous chefs, Lutendo Funyufunyu, Lefa Mosana, Precious Malebye and Albin Nel. Keeping in line with Level Four tradition, it features sustainable sourcing of the best quality seasonal ingredients and credit given to the individual chefs who played a role in fine-tuning the dishes.

What's On The Menu?

The range of starters includes: 

• ‘Buffalo Ridge’ mozzarella with pumpkin jam, hazelnut, and black truffle;
• Seared ‘Yellow Fin’ tuna with coconut puree, avocado, wasabi labneh and anchovies;
• Crab & line fish bisque with roasted garlic rouille, seafood tortellini;
• Venison carpaccio, grapefruit & raspberry;
• Chicken & game terrine;
• Roasted beetroot tart;
• Chicken consommé with quail and homemade dumpling;
• and Minestrone consommé.

The main course menu includes some excellent winter warmers and features:

• 200g ‘Black Angus’ fillet, osso buco, spinach puree, chard and sweet potato;
• Miso cured line fish with bok choi, mushrooms, broad beans and baby leek;
• Pekin duck, red cabbage, brussel sprouts, confit duck, apricot relish, and cherry jus;
• Baked ‘West Coast’ sole, baby leek, potato, shrimp beurre blanc;
• Beetroot risotto with smoked mozzarella;
• Merino lamb cutlet, loin, belly, braised shoulder, tender stem broccoli, tamarin & aubergine;
• Butternut gnocchi, pumpkin puree, hummus, and burnt butter;
• 300g ‘Jersey’ Rib eye, mash or hand cut chips and pepper or mushroom sauce;
• and The renowned Foxon signature ‘to share’ dish of 45-day dry-aged ‘Jersey’ fore rib on the bone, served with a choice of a side and sauce remains on the menu.

Desserts are rich and tantalising and include:

• ‘Gold’ caramel mousse, sour cherries & sorbet;
• Dark chocolate fondant, spiced caramel, macadamia & rum ice cream;
• Lemon grass & ginger ‘crème brulee’ with lime, coriander and pineapple;
• Matcha & coconut panna cotta, compressed apple and almonds;
• ‘Ruby’ chocolate ganache, dark chocolate, raspberry gel, schezwan & yoghurt sorbet;
• and a South African cheese platter.

Foxon says that sourcing of sustainable ingredients is becoming increasingly challenging as more fish are being added to the SA Sustainable Seafood Initiative Red List, which now includes rock lobster and crayfish. “Lobster bisque is one of our signature dishes and we are trying to find a replacement for lobster – it’s hugely popular and an essential item on our menu.” The restaurant remains committed to sourcing fresh fish and to encouraging suppliers to ‘go green’ with their packaging and recycling policies and practices.
