Perennial favourites, served in a breathtaking setting
Guests may choose from four special locations – the main dining section, with stunning views of our historical garden with its Camphor trees; the ‘breakfast room’; and the terrace overlooking the garden.
Head Chef, Daniel Blignaut has created a classic menu with a focus on firm favourites, including some of Liz McGrath’s personal recipes.
From traditional Cape Malay bobotie, Tempura Prawns, and Klein Karoo Rack of Lamb, the menu has something for everyone, with a special lightness to dishes such as her signature Boland Double Baked Cheese Soufflé with Cheesy Gin Sauce.
