"Voorslukkie"
Bar and Snack Experience
It all began in a bar, where he crafted a cocktail so memorable it felt like the start of something special. One drink turned into a moment, full of energy, curiosity, and connection. Today, we invite you to relive that feeling with us. Welcome to the Western Cape experience, where Devan’s unreasonable hospitality sets the tone for everything that follows.
"Voorhappie"
Snoek, Sultana, Curry Leaf
Inspired by time spent in Kalk Bay with Aunty Ferial, a true custodian of Western Cape tradition. Our snoek is hand selected at the harbor, prepared with deep respect for local ritual andcoastal life. This dish brings two cultures together, celebrating Cape heritage alongside the character and refinement of local vineyard expressions.
Bread
Bread, Jam, Farm Butter, Fynbos Oil
Inspired by the oldest recorded brown bread recipe from Stellenbosch. Baked with Pete, my 21 year old sourdough starter, carrying years of quiet care and repetition. Warm, grounding, and familiar, like something remembered rather than discovered. Honey butter, set in an urchin, closes the circle.
“Kook en Geniet”
Venison, Meebos, Sweet Potato
This is personal, and made the way I was taught.
Cold Starter
Pickled Fish, Radish, Flowers, Cape Malay Sauce
A yearly traditional dish that we want to showcase on a global scale, using a local recipe for inspiration, spicy, acidic and fresh, everything needed to create a really balanced dish from start to finish.
Warm Starter
Pumpkin Starter
Every grandmother’s specialty, elevated to the stage it always deserved, guided by a culinary vision every mother held for her children.
"A Familiar Lull"
Crayfish
The beautiful shores of Paternoster really inspired us, to keep it simple and elegant. Bringing along some of the local fynbos.
Main
Braised Oxtail, Samp and Mango Atchar
A local favourite, a braised stew which finds its way in many South African homes, all year round, which we would love to showcase in its purest form, with a touch of freshness
Pre-Dessert
Milk Tart, Vanilla, Cinnamon
Bringing the puzzle pieces of all of our cultures, experiences and tastes into one piece.
Dessert
"Peppermint Crisp Meets Millionaire’s Shortbread"
Born of origin, refined by ambition, and elevated to influence. A flavour crafted in the place where Peppermint grew, learned, and flourished, inspired by South Africa’s stature as a force of prosperity on the African continent.
