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.

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.

Gourmet Guide Description

In summer, savour the best sea view in Cape Town, in winter, come in from the cold and crashing waves to a cosy fire. Warm service is guaranteed all year round. You’ll be met at the entrance on Chapman’s Peak drive and escorted into this oceanside haven for an epicurean excursion. Perhaps treat yourself and stay in one of their individually appointed suites.

The trusted Tomlin recipe for global ‘tapas for two’ has, with chef Cameron Smith, evolved into either a choice of four dishes, or an eight-course tasting menu, presented with wines to enhance them. Oysters Atlantic are a popular starter, or indulge in cru caviar with potato waffles and crème fraiche. Delectable oat and honey brioche with burnt fennel butter will be presented before the tapas set menu, inspired by the bounty of the ocean. It’s a collection of small plates that boast beautiful flavours, to share, served in five waves. There are vegetarian and vegan options too.

The focus on fish is appropriate to the setting. It could include a linefish sashimi with pineapple and jalapeno dressing, smoked haddock crème fraiche and a lime rice cracker or the piquant seared swordfish with lime atchar, whipped ricotta, nectarines and charred limes. Chefs Warehouse risottos are undeniably the talk of the town, and the current celebration of saffron and the flavours of paella with white clams and chorizo XO, cements this accolade.

It may be an Instagrammer’s ultimate backdrop, but know that it’s not only about the perfect picture. Layers of tenacious taste will add to your lasting memory of a meal to remember.

    Undoubtedly the best food we’ve eaten in the Cape - having tried the restaurants of Franschoek Stellenbosch Constantia and Camps Bay - we haven’t been in the City centre For us everything was absolutely 5 star. We will return
