Spring looks good on us!

Our non-alcoholic pairing follows the food from course to course, with each serve adding something different to the journey.
Another step in a pairing that’s every bit as considered as what’s on the plate.

Big flavour, no meat required!
Our Garden Menu main layers fragrant spice, bright acidity, gentle heat and a touch of sweetness - balanced, layered and seriously satisfying.

Congratulations to our head chef Jason Jonker who has been shortlisted to the Regional Finals of the S.PellegrinoYoungChefAcademy Academy Competition - one of the world’s most prestigious platforms for young culinary talent.
His dish, MISUNDERSTOOD, is a whole-fish celebration of Cape yellowtail - nose to tail, no waste, full of heart. A fish often written off as a simple braai catch, reimagined as something extraordinary.
So proud of you, Jason. Wishing you all the best at Regionals!
