The Big Easy Winebar & Grill
The Big Easy Grill is an extension of what Ernie’s career and passion for great food and wine represents. A commitment to excellence and quality; executed to perfection with the right partner.
BIG EASY WINEBAR & GRILL
Comfort food with a South African edge
The culinary program of the Big Easy has been developed in close cooperation with South Africa’s Chef of the Year 2010, David Higgs. His creativity and talent catapulted his restaurant in Stellenbosch not just to #1 in the TimeOut awards, but also on the 98th place in San Pellegrino’s Top 100 Restaurants in the World and three stars from Rossouw’s Restaurant Guide.
Higgs’ personal titles include Young Chef of the Year from the Chaine des Rotisseurs, which he won as young chef. When asked when he received his greatest award, the reply is “In 2009 when I was able to persuade Ferran Adrià of the existence of South African haute cuisine” The exceptional Spanish chef was bowled over by the high quality and creativity in David’s kitchen.
