Savour the Lekker in What's Local at this Chef-Led South African Table Experience

Discover South Africa through its flavours and traditions at a family-table event that’s made for sharing

Have you ever wondered why South Africa uses fruits in curries and stews? Or why South African curries are often yellow in colour? If you like to pair a love of food with a pinch of curiosity then you’ll love the South African Table – a delicious food and wine pairing that celebrates everything local and lekker about South African food in a way that encourages sharing stories and personal experiences by Leopard's Leap Family Vineyards.

Offered for approximately two hours on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and led by a Leopard’s Leap top chef and one of Leopard’s Leap’s knowledgeable Wine Tasting Ambassadors, this is one table you will want to wine and dine at. Expect seasonal flavours to burst from the plate and palate as each ingredient and flavour is unpacked for your dining pleasure.

ENCOURAGED TO SHARE

Interaction is the name of the game, and not only between the chef and guests. At this table, all guests are encouraged to share their childhood memories and cultural references around the dishes and ingredients. It’s also no coincidence that the event takes place at “the Family Table” – a long wooden table on the edge of the kitchen, where the chef moves between stove and table with each new dish and story.

This event is not about fine dining heritage foods. In fact, you don’t need to know anything about food. No fancy jargon required! And because no two dishes or events are alike, you’ll have an excuse to come back again or bring your work colleagues for a “cultural” event that just happens to be delicious. And if you still have room to spare, you can stay to enjoy their famous rotisserie and harvest table lunch, which closes at 3:30pm.

EVENT DETAILS

The South African Table happens every Wednesday, Thursday Friday and Saturday at 1pm and costs R335pp (including food and wine). Bookings should be made online.
