    An absolutely unforgettable experience! Each mouthful has been thoughtfully curated with an engaging story. Although it is fine dining, the atmosphere is not stuffy. It's friendly and engaging. The service was faultless, and you can just see that everyone employed there just loves what they do! They accommodated my sons menu by making adjustments for his nut allergy, which was appreciated. He had the Land and Air option, and I had the Field and Forest option. Highly recommended!

    We had an exceptional experience at De Tafel. Chef Greg Henderson’s menu evokes memories of growing up in Cape Town and celebrates the diversity of the local biome. We will be back!

    We found this place from the TikTok video showing the menu and location. It was an incredible experience. The food was well paired and well thought out. The ambiance was amazing. The selection of new cocktails made for a great pairing with each course.
