Perfect for those who want to build their own journey —
choosing a single tasting, or combining, tailored to you, your group,
your occasion, and your taste.

| Traditional Cape Meal A slow, generous table of heirloom recipes and Cape hospitality, both humble and celebratory. |

| Ayurvedic Lunch A mindful, seasonal meal inspired by Ayurvedic principles, balancing flavour, nourishment and connection. |
