Perched atop the Silvermist Estate against the slopes of Constantia Nek, La Colombe is one of the country’s exemplary beacons of culinary mastery. Long likened to a treehouse, due to its unique eye-level views of the tree canopies, the restaurant has undergone a revamp and incorporated the treehouse theme in a clever and more effective way than ever before. The gorgeous result is an inviting, airy and superb designer dining room with an adjacent al fresco seating area.
Food
Chef Scot Kirton – famous the world over and lauded as one of the key pillars of South African fine dining – has passed on the mantle to his right hand, executive chef James Gaag. Upon realising his dream to finally lead the La Colombe kitchen, chef James has wasted no time putting his unique stamp on the menu. Die-hard fans can unclutch their pearls, La Colombe’s philosophy of delivering theatre is still very much intact and it delivers marvelous childhood dreams of how amazing whimsical fine dining can be when done right. The highly intellectual team has translated various flavors from the garden and reworked it into something visually arresting and utterly delicious.
