Gourmet Guide™ Description

On the first floor of the silo building in Woodstock’s trendy Old Biscuit Mill, there’s an intimate and sophisticated dining salon adorned with white tablecloths that warm the sexy room. Legendary Luke Dale Roberts and his dedicated, talented head chef Carla Schulze have elevated the offering since opening in April 2023. The Journey menu, a multi-course, inventive epicurean experience of 11 courses, awaits the discerning diner. Add the pioneer or iconic wine pairings courtesy of sommelier Tadiswa Chikwanha, and you’ll have the perfect evening.

Tracing Luke’s impressive global career trajectory from his British roots, the menu transverses Asia to Europe, Latin America to South Africa, his home for nearly 20 years. In Mexico, you might devour the chipotle tuna Caesar paired with a cocktail that marries tequila and jalapeños
perfectly with a kick. A British cheese and pickle sandwich could be followed by a sojourn in France for duck Suzette. The seven-day-aged duck with a citrus emulsion and duck stew is served tableside with a touch more fun than fuss. The Korean beef fillet boasts a heady
flavour combination of mirin tea, ssamjang, kimchi, and ponzu – all vying equally for attention. Return to France for a dessert that pays true tribute, perhaps a madeleine.

Carla is excited about the new additions to the menu that celebrate South African ingredients. Here, tradition is turned on its head. Classics are reinvented and elevated with fun and finesse, à la LDR, a fitting tribute to how the land of opportunity has embraced this talented chef, and how he, in turn, has embraced all that it offers.

    From reception upon arrival until the walk out to the elevator on departure the service was impeccable. The food creations and pairings were excellently planned and delivered with finesse. I would most certainly recommend a visit. The entire team had a hand in our evening table side throughout the evening, Trevor particularly is notable in his delivery of the duck dish that was presented.
