The Knolls by Verne Maree from Expatliving Magazine“Never trust a skinny chef,” it’s been said, and here’s the exception that proves the rule. Slim-hipped, choirboy-faced Swede Jakob Eske is the executive chef who has come up with this scrumptious Mediterranean menu, with the help of marginally more rotund sous chef Cristia Nou Picart. 
To be honest, this not exactly the kind of Mediterranean food that keeps cholesterol low and hearts beating past their usual sell-by date. Tapas-style starters include hearty Spanish meatballs ($12), toast topped with crab and lemon mayonnaise and foie gras on toast with a dab of rhubarb compote ($16 each) – nice, but the last two on too much bread. We’d already tucked into assorted breads with a spicy hummus dip to counteract the effect of the amazing house Margherita, which features a refreshing blend of citrus fruit juice. Fish is heart- and health-friendly, isn’t it? Perhaps not entirely so when it’s The Knolls signature pan-seared sea bass on pungent, truffly risotto ($34), or the oven-baked cod with creamy saffron sauce, seafood and poached potato ($36). Still-pink slow-cooked beef cheek ($38) has been in the oven for 24 hours and falls apart at the hover of a fork; it comes with smoked potato and roast tomato confit.
