Our contemporary tapas is a set menu of small plates for sharing over 4 courses.
We choose ingredients that are fresh, local and sustainable paying homage to the ocean at our doorstep. We also offer a vegetarian menu. As with our sister restaurants, oysters and risotto are always on our menu.
Dining at the unique oceanside location of Cape Town’s iconic boutique hotel on Chapman’s Peak Drive is unlike any other in the city, with the Atlantic ocean right below your table.
Back Booths:
Tucked inside the main restaurant, these plush, soft-couch booths offer a warm and intimate setting, perfect for lingering over a meal while gazing across the bay. With only four available, they are in high demand. Elegant, custom-selected overhead lights add a touch of sophistication to your dining experience.
Sea Lounge:
A charming inner dining space that opens directly onto the balcony, blending the comfort of indoor dining with fresh sea views.
This smaller lounge is perfect for more intimate gatherings or as a semi-private dining area. With its serene atmosphere and proximity to the water, it offers an elegant yet relaxed setting for memorable occasions.
Pergola:
One of our most sought-after spaces, the Pergola is an all-year-round extension of the main restaurant. Huge glass doors open fully to reveal sweeping views of Hout Bay Harbour, with the iconic Sentinel Mountain as the focal point. From here, you might even spot dolphins and whales playing in the bay.
We are open for lunches and dinners, with dining inside or outside, the view will always be spectacular.
The Tintswalo Atlantic boutique hotel is uniquely situated on a pebbled beach below Chapmans Peak Drive in Cape Town. It is renowned as one of the city’s most precious hidden gems and is lauded for its romantic setting and spectacular sunsets.
Chefs Warehouse will welcome both resident guests, as well as casual diners with bookings taken for lunch and dinners from Mondays to Sundays.
*GUESTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE AN E-HAILING SERVICE, SUCH AS UBER, AS PARKING IS LIMITED.
There’s a table almost in the Atlantic Ocean. A panorama of the Hout Bay Sentinel and rooms with stunning views beckon. This Chefs Warehouse has a personality all of its own, with a menu that changes with the tides. Chef Cameron Smith likes to change two dishes a week to please his regular following and keep himself and his team invigorated.
Small plates for sharing are presented in four courses where you will immediately appreciate the harmony. Start with the ever-popular oysters and the oat and honey brioche with home-churned butter. Choose from a good selection of local wines and cocktails, or dive into the tasting menu with the wine pairing. There are equally satisfying options for those desiring vegan and vegetarian menus. Stand-out dishes might be the flame-grilled tuna belly with sour curry, furikake, num num oil (the num nums from Cam’s garden), and a miso feta mousse. The Patagonian squid with amasi atchar mousse, lime escabeche, and smoked yellowtail crème fraîche is another splendid example of the chef’s prowess with feisty flavours.
Cameron’s style of cooking, inspired by South Africa, showcases elements of home cuisine for this local lad who grew up in the Eastern Cape. At the end of your sojourn, you’ll be invited to throw a wishing stone into the ocean. There’s no doubt that many diners simply wish to return.
