    de Tafel by Chef Gregory Henderson is an unforgettable culinary journey that celebrates the essence of the Cape. Every dish tells a story — beautifully balanced flavours, refined presentation, and deep respect for local, foraged ingredients. The service is warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced, creating an intimate, world-class dining experience. Chef Gregory’s passion shines through in every course — authentic, creative, and soulful. A true gem of South African fine dining that was able to showcase the best of what South Africa has to offer to our guests from Norway and South Korea. 6 star experience!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    De Tafel’s conceptual menu was really one for the books. The food taking all elements from our beautiful land was quite special; love the thought that went into it. Every single staff member was exceptional. They truly elevated the experience from the time we entered the gates to when we exited. It should be on everyone’s bucket list.

    We enjoyed the evening in a wonderful setting. The service and explanations of the dishes were excellent. The Land and Air menu was simply first-class. We'll be back! We had the wine option with each course. I think R100.00 for each course is a bit too expensive. R80.00 would be more appropriate. But overall, it was a wonderful evening.
