A dream come true - seasonal, fresh Cape seafood served this December and January. Join Kokkedoor Vuur & Vlam judge Kobus Botha in Saldanha, right on the sea, for a dining experience filled with total joy.



Kobus’s menu? It’s all about what’s fresh from the ocean and what inspires him. Expect unique dishes like éclade de moule, gâteau à la broche, and boere-baisse - that famous Mediterranean soup, elevated with West Coast fish. Here, you’ll savour seafood delights you may never have tasted before.



This exciting culinary adventure is brought to you in collaboration with Adi and Cornelia Badenhorst’s Saldanha Wine and Spirit Company. Enjoy their exceptional wines, bubbly, port, and sherry, all served in Adi’s seaside sherry cellar as part of the meal.



What makes this even more special? The private beach with pristine waters, perfect for a refreshing dip. Bring hats and sunscreen.



For those wanting to fully indulge in the experience, the Saldanha Bay Hotel - right next door and a great place to stay - offers 20% less for our guests, on a first-come, first-served basis.

APERITIF

starts at 1.30pm. Guests will be seated together at a communal table regardless of the size of their booked party. Kids are welcome. We'll give the little ones a snack when they arrive so they don't drive everyone crazy. They'll sit at kid's tables spread around the long table. They love playing on the beach and running around - but they are under the care of their parents. There will be fires burning and a sea. No special kid's menu, they eat real, delicious food and drink water. Any special dietary food and drinks for them you can bring along in nice looking containers.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
All the food is from the ocean. Fish dishes do not contain shellfish, and vice versa.

    An unforgettable adventure, a culinary feast on the sparkling shores of Saldanha Bay. Kobus Botha’s foraged and locally sourced seafood menu was packed with different flavours and textures.. snoek pate and pickled kelp, mussels smoked with pine needles, seaweed pasta with octopus and white beans, kabeljou cooked on an open fire. And there was more..all coupled with wines of the Saldanha Spirit co. Suffice to say we’ll definitely be looking out for more of Kobus’s seafood extravaganzas!

    A unique and wonderful experience in such a warm, relaxed and welcoming space. Kobus has created something really special here - sharing his love of seafood and bringing people together for a leisurely tasting journey paired with great wines. Honest, original and unpretentious. Highly recommended.

    A great experience on the West Coast. From the reception to the down to earth host, culinary excellence of the real West Coast. If your expectation is a "franchise" seafood platter and not a full experience of the real Saldanha, this will not be your scene! We loved every moment.

    Fantastic experience! If you’re into fine dining this might not be for you, but the food is pure heart and soul straight from the ocean to your plate. Food and wine in abundance, so go hungry. Different, but worth every penny imho. Dankie Kobus dit was ‘n belewenis!
