Arum is the FYN Group's contemporary, fire-focused restaurant on Boschendal Estate in Franschhoek. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Travis Finch with guidance from chefs Peter Tempelhoff and Ashley Moss. The restaurant occupies the historic Werf building, the estate's original 1812 cellar, and draws from Boschendal's regenerative and biodynamic farming practices, working with seasonal ingredients, whole-animal butchery, and live-fire cooking - bringing a bold farm-to-fire dining experience to the valley.

The beverage programme at Arum draws inspiration from the farm and Boschendal wines. Group Sommelier and Beverage Director Jennifer Hugé collaborated with Boschendal's winemakers on the Arum Special Series, single-variety wines exclusive to the restaurant and available by the glass and bottle.

Arum Bar is a design-forward space, the centrepiece of which is the bar itself - a piece of functional art created by artist Driaan Claassen. Behind the bar Hugé serves up a host of innovative cocktails, with a bar snacks menu which highlights farm-grown ingredients. The perfect setting to move on to after a day in the Winelands, or to begin your evening before dinner.

Arum serves lunch and dinner Monday to Sunday. The bar is open from 12:00 to 22:00 daily.

Solo diners and groups larger than 14 should contact the restaurant directly to arrange reservations.

Tables are held for 15 minutes past the reservation time. Walk-ins are welcome.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the bar without a restaurant reservation. Arum offers corkage.

    Arum is an absolutely culinary delight! The setting, the service & the food are all of the very highest quality. This is by far one of my most favourite dining experiences in the Cape.
