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.

Some call it sauce. We call it the finishing touch.

Every sauce that leaves our kitchen is made with intention, crafted to complement, never overpower. It's there to enhance every ingredient, balance every flavour, and bring every dish together exactly as our chefs envisioned.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING DINNER WITH WITH TOKARA AND MORNÉ ELS

We’re delighted to announce our next Food & Wine Pairing Dinner, hosted by Morné Els from Tokara, on Tuesday, 28 July.

Because of Tokara’s unique location, the climate, geography and soils combine to produce perfect grapes. These grapes are then hand-picked and gently transported to their state-of-the-art cellar, where their exceptionally skilled winemakers transform the fruit into award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of indulgence and discovery, as Chef Mathew Armbruster and Sommelier Karl Rohlandt present a thoughtfully curated five-course menu, expertly paired to highlight the depth, nuance, and personality of each wine. Truly great wine expresses a unique sense of place. It transports you, and that’s what makes every bottle exceptional.

🍷 TUESDAY 28 JULY 2026
🍷 5 Course Menu with Wine Pairing
🍷 R975 per person
🍷 Excluding any additional drinks and gratuity
🍷 Bookings from 5:30pm
🍷 Venue: The Chefs’ Table, Umhlanga
