Seebamboes
High above Cape Town’s illustrious Galjoen, a new culinary adventure has unfolded. Seebamboes, an intimate 16-seater restaurant, is the latest collaboration from Anouchka Horn, Neil Swart, Adél Hughes and Liebet Jooste. With a playful reimagining of ‘surf and turf’, the tasting menu explores local land-and-sea ingredients — from kelp and veldkool to wagyu and biltong. Expect bold, nostalgic flavours, sustainable sourcing and an unforgettable dining journey rooted in South African terroir and creativity.
Eleven
Named after its location on Huguenot Street, Eleven in Franschhoek introduces a bold new chapter with the addition of an à la carte menu alongside its renowned tasting experience. The restaurant offers global contemporary cuisine rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. From duck-liver tacos to pork agnolotti and oysters with nuoc cham foam, each dish is crafted with care and creativity. Whether enjoying a relaxed snack or indulging in the full tasting menu with wine pairing, Eleven promises a personalised dining journey in the heart of the winelands.
The Fountain
At The Fountain by Planet Bar, sun-soaked lunches drift lazily into dinner beneath ancient trees in the lush gardens of The Mount Nelson. Mediterranean-inspired dishes spotlight South African ingredients; think fresh Cape burrata, West Coast prawn scampi and house-made charcuterie served with just baked flatbreads. Signature cocktails by mixologist Jonathan Makonga, such as the zesty Green Goddess, perfectly match the alfresco mood. Ingredients sourced from local producers such as Farmer Angus and Meuse Farm, plus herbs from the chef’s garden, ensure each visit is a laid-back, flavour-rich experience designed for easy, joyful and lingering indulgence.
