Food
An immensely satisfying culinary experience awaits you here. Whether you opt for the 4- or 6-course set dinner menu, beautifully presented food will appear at your table as you move from one taste sensation to the next. You may start with the butter-roasted organic beets with chickpea and goat’s feta salad, followed by risotto of tiger prawn, a mild Cape Malay curry with a pawpaw and cashew salsa, and the pièce de résistance – smoked and grilled springbok, polenta and mascarpone cream and orangeglazed turnips.
