Step into the gastronomic heart of the hotel and take your seat in an exclusive, hidden dining space. Watch in wonder as dishes are prepared right before your eyes—then uncover the inspiration behind each creation.

Inspired by the seasons and the desire to reduce our footprint on this wonderful land, the chefs have put their minds and attentions on sourcing, when possible, local organically grown produce that has the smallest impact on our environment. They deal with likeminded farmers and producers who share a desire that our children must also be able to share this land’s harvest with their children. They have excluded meat and fish intentionally and chosen to showcase and celebrate the wonderous bounty of Western Cape agriculture.

    Despite the fact that I told them about my Food allergies, they managed to get some Alergen in the Food anyway. One night in the Bathroom. Thanks. Beside that, the Food was bad and definitely not worth that Kind of Money. We have been there Seven Years ago and it was very good. I can just recommend everyone to avoid the Chefs Table. Like we will, in the Future

    What a lovely evening. Thanks to Lazarus, Chefs Snow and Zee (apologies if spelling is incorrect). This was one of the highlights of our holiday. We understand that this was Chef Snow’s first time cooking for Chefs Table as regular chef was unwell. She did a fantastic job. Her fish dish was best plate of food I’ve had during my 2 week stay in South Africa.

    It was an outstanding experience! Lazarus was our host. He took excellent care of us. Philip was our Chef. After the dinner we were informed that it was his first Chef's table. He created a stunning six courses menu for us. One or two ingredients could have been spiced a little more courageously, but overall everything was cooked to a very high standard.

    If there is a word that is beyond ‘outstanding’ I would use it to describe our superb dining experience at the Chef’s Table. Lazarus our host and our chef Isaac were both excellent and catered to my idiosyncrasies. We are going again next week because it was so, so good.

    Outstanding experience- both in terms of food and delivery. Made even more special by the lovely Zi, (pastry chef)Isaac and Larerus. Thank you for the whole evening and making Stephen’s birthday even more memorable
