Cape Town food lovers, your midday plans are about to get a whole lot more delicious.
This summer, de Tafel at the Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa opens its doors for lunch—and not just any lunch.
From 13 December, guests are invited to explore immersive tasting menus that turn seasonal ingredients and foraged treasures into a storytelling experience on a plate.
- Helmed by Chef Gregory Henderson, each course is a thoughtful journey through Cape heritage, land, sea, and forest, layered with subtle complexity and plated with artistic flair. Think coastal seafood kissed by kelp and citrus, forest elements like pine-smoked butter and wild mushrooms, and nostalgic flavours reimagined through a modern lens.
Set in the tranquil garden surrounds of Palm House, this is fine dining reimagined for the long, golden days of summer—refined, grounded, and utterly transportive.
🌿 Christmas Day lunch is also on offer for those wanting to swap tradition for something more inspired (and infinitely more delicious).
