10 Degrees South is a delightfully sinful South African restaurant on Roswell Road, Atlanta. Sinful because it burnt a small hole in SK’s pocket, delightful because the whole evening was just so pleasing. We were at 10 Degrees South last Saturday to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I give SK full points for being different.
South African cuisine is primarily French with infusions of other European, Malaysian and Indian favors. The menu was so delectable. It even boasted a dozen escargots! We decided to veer of course and tried a dry South African wine. We paired this with a mildly spiced chicken liver on pita bread. For the main course, we had some super succulent lamb chops and Indian chicken curry.
10 Degrees South can be anything you want it to be. The open bar at the far end with a large lounge area is perfect for big groups of friends. The mid-section of this restaurant is rather intimate and tailored to couples. The entrance opens into a salon, with ample spread out tables for groups of 4-6. The ambience was earthy yet refined. That’s how I’d describe it.
I had a great evening. Thanks SK. Happy One.
