The Chefs' Table

The Chefs' Table Sans cultural allegiance, we offer dishes that borrow tradition, techniques & styles from all over -
(1768)

Since opening in 2016, The Chefs' Table has earned its place as one of the more sophisticated dining experiences in Durban, while remaining contemporary and approachable. Beautifully designed, with luxurious detail The Chefs' Table offers gracious hospitality, located in the heart of the Umhlanga village. Executive Chef Mathew Armbruster presents a modern, seasonal menu inspired by the best fresh,

seasonal ingredients that Kwa-Zulu Natal has to offer. The open plan kitchen is at the heart of the restaurant, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work and feel the connection to the food and the beautifully plated dishes being prepared. A world class wine cellar, stocked with unique, vintage wines from South Africa, as well as a selection of International wines, specifically French and New Zealand wines, rank among the noteworthy highlights of the restaurants wine programme, headed by manager of the programme, George Dzubinsky. INSPIRED EATING EXPERIENCES
Each dish is carefully sculptured around exceptional flavours and plated as a work of art on hand crafted ceramic dishes, further reinforcing the artisanal nature of the dining experience. The full wine cellar boasts an impressive array of fine South African wines as well as vintage bottles that can be viewed on request. The interior of the restaurant reflects the philosophy of the food: natural materials, raw, luxurious yet simple... comfortable and familiar, yet exhilarating and adventurous.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING DINNER WITH MEERLUST WINE ESTATE

Our next Food & Wine Pairing Dinner, hosted by Deidre Taylor, Sales & Marketing Manager at Meerlust, on Wednesday, 26 August.

For eight generations, the Myburgh family has been producing fine wines at Meerlust Estate, with the family having owned the property since 1756. Steeped in history and recognised internationally for its exceptional wines, Meerlust is one of Stellenbosch's most celebrated estates.

Throughout the evening, Deidre will share the story of this remarkable estate, from its centuries-old heritage and unique maritime influence to the philosophy and craftsmanship behind some of South Africa's most iconic wines.

Chef Mathew Armbruster and Sommelier Karl Rohlandt have created a refined five-course menu, thoughtfully paired with a selection of Meerlust wines, including Rubicon, the estate's iconic Bordeaux-style blend, first produced in 1980. Each course has been designed to complement and enhance the character of the wines, bringing together the distinctive flavours of The Chefs' Table with the elegance and heritage of one of Stellenbosch's most treasured estates.

Join us for an evening of exceptional cuisine, celebrated wines and engaging conversation as we raise a glass to almost three centuries of Meerlust.
