You are creating new stories this month in Umhlanga. There is a special treat available only if you take action today.
It is a new month, the month of March. The month of March promotes action. Take action on your thoughts and inspirations. Set your intentions to create a forward movement towards your desires. The decisions you make in March will walk with you. What can be a better start to the month to spoil yourself with a First Friday dinner with an ocean view in Durban?
Without being too abstract, it seems as if March is the best month to fulfil your intentions. Set your savvy work habits, an active training or outdoor routine and leisure time. Enjoying small luxuries during a busy month is special.
One year ago, a beachfront property transformed into a meeting place. You dropped by curious to learn more about the new star on the block. At first, you ordered coffee, social distancing and careful. You slowly warmed up and stepped inside. You started exploring all the treats, flavours, tastes and areas to enjoy your moment in the shade. You started friendships, work, love, habits and memories.
You discovered the Belvedere, an inviting poolside area serving drinks of all sorts. Licking your fingers clean, you savour every taste. You sit next to the pool overlooking the patio. It is a buzz.
With your drink in hand, you walk over the lawn onto the deck. The Indian ocean fills your view. The sun is setting, colouring the sky warm. You walk back onto the grass, watching the flames in the fire pit bounce with stories to share. On a Friday evening, sunset on the North Coast is the best time to be out for dinner and drinks.
The menu is small, ticking every box for your taste buds. It is time to introduce something gourmet, something unique and something exclusive. The chef will prepare the special for you this Friday. It is the start of the First Friday gourmet dinner at the North Star Micro Hotel.
If you don’t want to miss out, book your table now. The chef will prepare the set menu only this Friday.

To prick your taste buds, you can taste the menu in the next few words.
Your menu will start with a Sushi skewer.
Your sushi skewer consists of Makizushi, Rainbow roll, Futomaki and panko prawn. The delicately cooked prawn paired with the fresh tastes of the ocean. The tangy taste of the vinegared rice is a very light flavour. Taste the natural sea-salty fresh flavours while you sip on a chilled glass of your favourite white wine.
and the Beef Carpaccio
Raw beef sliced paper-thin, drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice, with fresh rocket, crispy capers and shavings of parmesan. The starter is light with a mix of ocean and top quality meat sliced onto your plate. The Beef Carpaccio is a burst of zesty flavour. The tender beef slices sprinkled with lemon juice, olive oil, and capers dissolve into your mouth. The taste tingle your tastebuds with a balance of fresh, salty, lemony and delicate rich flavour.
These are perfect starters for balmy North coast evenings by the sea paired with chilled white wine.
Main Course
Pan-Seared Duck Breast
Pan-seared Duck breast served with apricot jus, butternut puree, potato bonbons, grilled baby marrow and pickled pearl onions. The Pan-seared duck is rich in flavour. Pan-seared duck is fattier with a delicious taste that’s tender, moist, and fatty with meaty richness. The vegetable pair perfect to compliment the duck breast flavours.
A great wine to pair with duck is a light-bodied aromatic Pinot Noir to compliment the tender cooked duck.
Dessert
Deconstructed cheesecake. If you are a cheese lover, you can taste the dense, rich, smooth and creamy
cheesecake.
To pair with the cheesecake, indulge your palate with a light dessert wine, a glass of Riesling, a glass of Cabernet Franc or even a not too dry glass of bubbly.
The cheesecake taste description is waiting for you this Friday at the North Star Micro Hotel.
