Breeze launches hot new menu!

Just in time for the festive season, Breeze, the family friendly restaurant at Emerald Resort & Casino, has launched its brand new menu. Whether you’re a hardcore foodie or someone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable family meal, it’s not to be missed.

“Our new seasonal menu has been designed and constructed by Emerald’s Sous Chef, Tshidiso Tsosane,” says Tanuja Gangabishun, Marketing Executive at Emerald Resort & Casino. “The menu is largely focused and themed to traditional wood oven pizzas and seafood.”

Breeze is Emerald Resort & Casino’s family friendly restaurant and the menu reflects this with something for everyone. Besides the best pizza in town and amazing seafood dishes, the favourites like gourmet burgers, toasties and light meals, together with the kiddies menu are still available.

When asked what his personal favourites are, Chef Tshidiso said, “There are a lot of really excellent meals and dishes to choose from, but if pressed for an answer, my personal favourite is the Seafood Plank, however I’ve had really great reviews from the Mussel Chowder, so that’s one dish that is an absolute must.”

The new menu can be seen on Emerald Resort & Casino’s user-friendly website under the “Restaurants and Bars” tab.

“Set under the extended thatched deck, Breeze specialises in catering for families, large groups and special occasions, with fantastic views over the Vaal River,” concludes Tanuja. “Whether it’s a cocktail or cappuccino, snack or seafood, Breeze is the place to find a fantastic meal this festive season!”

Emerald makes a dream come true!

 

 

It certainly is going to be a fairy-tale wedding for local Vaal residents Maryke Fouche and Morne Bekker after winning a dream-come-true wedding to the value of R55 000 at Emerald Resort & Casino’s Wedding Open Day.

The engaged couple recently attended Emerald Resort & Casino’s Open Wedding Day which showcased the spectacular Resort as an ideal wedding venue for dreamy ceremonies and receptions.

“It is so amazing to see the expression on people’s faces when they win something unexpectedly and that they considered out of their reach,” says Tanuja Gangabishun, Marketing Executive at Emerald Resort & Casino. “We just love making those dreams come true.”

According to the winner, Maryke Fouche, they have been dating for more than eight years when, now fiancée, Morne took the initiative to pop the big question and get engaged. “To start planning our future, we took the plunge to move into a bigger place, obviously at the cost of having the dream wedding I’ve wanted since I was a little girl. We could only imagine about that perfect wedding until Emerald Resort & Casino made it possible after we won the competition.

Morne and I would like to thank Emerald Resort & Casino for an amazing day and we really look forward to taking advantage of all the facilities here when we get married in March or April next year.”

The happy couple won an entire wedding package prize that includes welcome drinks, canapés, plated starter and a buffet main course and dessert, venue hire for the ceremony and reception, PA system, dance floor with stage and a luxurious stay at the Honeymoon Bush Lodge haven.

“Wedding days are truly one of those days that are never forgotten,” concludes Tanuja. “From each and every one of the team members here at Emerald Resort & Casino we wish all the couples and guests that joined us on our Open Wedding Day luck and happiness as they plan for this big step.”
