Take a walk through our indigenous garden with

Tucked between the vineyards and original heritage buildings of Buitenverwachting lies the indigenous garden where we harvest ingredients that shape our proudly South African menu.

This is our cured and smoked duck, and the process behind it is worth exploring.

Coconut milk kefir is presented on the plate as small spheres.

We start by fermenting whole milk with live kefir grains for 24 hours. The grains consume the lactose, releasing probiotics and transforming the milk into kefir - making it a beautiful lactose free option.

To this, we add coconut milk and coconut cream to create the final combination.

Alongside the duck and our kefir: hibiscus-poached beetroot, honeydew melon, lemon verbena, and duck liver parfait.

Beneath our restaurant lies our wine cellar.

Curated by Beverage Director , the list is built around a simple belief: wine should speak of place.

Our home in the Constantia Valley makes that easy, as we are surrounded by some of the most expressive vineyards in the Cape.

Whether you opt for a wine pairing or choose your own, the wines here are chosen to reflect where you are and what’s on the plate.
