They infuse it with the rich variety of food cultures within South Africa, including the food of labourers and slaves, and imported influences from countries intertwined with South Africa’s history. On the ever-changing menu you will find indigenous local produce, specially selected for quality, seasonal and optimal ripeness. The ambience is relaxed, informally elegant in a tastefully restored barn with excellent service and superb wine selection.
