An
EASTERN ADVENTURE Mosaic by Simo is a Moroccan culinary adventure in Addington. A confluence of delectable tagines, salads and Mediterranean deli items offer customers a fresh taste sensation of authentic, aromatic spices and flavours.
L
ocal chef and food identity Simo, with his wife Anethea, established the renowned and popular Mosaic by Simo Mediterranean café and deli. Mosaic by Simo is famous for Simo’s tagines. The melt-in-yourmouth meat is slow cooked for hours in tagines – with steam rising to the top, dripping back down again and again, making the most delicious sauce, such as the Moroccan Lamb tagine with prunes and almonds - perfect with orange scented couscous. It is a complex infusion of fragrant herbs and spices, cooked in incremental layers. Ingredients and flavours including seasonal local produce take you on a journey. Lemons are preserved for three months to marinate the lemon chicken tagine. The popularity of this dish honours the effort in the layers of flavours. Simo’s generous and tasty platters are paradise for sharing, finished with traditional mint tea, cake or marinated orange and chocolate stuffed figs. Vegan and gluten-free diners have many exquisite choices, including building their own exotic salad and tasty tapas meal for under $15. Home entertainers and weekend picnickers flock to Mosaic by Simo during the weekend, while weekday office workers and friends are drawn in for an amazing Bocadillo – a Moroccan wrap bursting with flavour yet incredibly good value. Dine-in and takeaway are available along with a wonderful catering service. Many diners stay to enjoy the authentic restaurant or sunny courtyard, imagining the East while on a culinary journey that is Mosaic by Simo. Mosaic by Simo can be discovered at Addington Mall, 3/300 Lincoln Road. Visit www.mosaicbysimo.com and phone 338 2882. Now open seven days Monday to Saturday 9am-9pm and Sunday 12pm-9pm.
