Our Farm to Your Fork
We believe good food starts at the source.

Our beef, lamb and chicken are pasture-raised, our vegetables come predominantly from our own pesticide-free, regenerative farm project in Khayelitsha, and our fish is line-caught and wild whenever possible. We proudly support small-scale farmers, work only with family-run, traceable dairy, and craft everything from scratch — including our bread and pasta.

We cook over open fire and stick to what’s local, seasonal, and organic wherever we can. Even our food waste goes full circle — composted back into the soil that grows our next harvest.

Every plate tells a story. And it starts with care.

    Have been wanting to eat at Tambourine for quite some time now. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the lovely Hannah. We decided to try the shared winter special menu and although the portions were pretty small for two people the flavours were amazing. The rolled bread with the flavoured butters just melts in your mouth. The flames-grilled rump with sweet potato was full of flavour and the meat quite tender. The truffle sauce with the chocolate dessert was such a clever pairing and we finished every drop. Dimitriou served us and his knowledge and passion for the food and wine was infectious. We loved the story of how the Labanzi Chenin got its name. It really warms my heart to see that local farmers and wine makers are supported by Tambourines. Will definitely be back . Thanks to the chefs and staff for such an amazing experience.

    Everything was superb - Only gripe was that the four course meal was advertised to be accompanied by a free glass of wine but that was not offered
