Dining At Camps Bay Retreat
The Retreat Kitchen: There are a couple of things about a farm style kitchen that makes it special: Firstly, the fact that you will always be welcomed, secondly that it is normally where the “good stuff” is kept hidden or slowly simmering. All these hidden and simmering treasures are made with the utmost care and always in abundance, rounded off with “seasoned” timing in the Retreat Kitchen. You are welcome to visit Camps Bay Retreat’s chef at any time, although the newly opened dining room wall now affords the viewer a peek into the kitchen’s soul. Sit back and feast your eyes on the action, including the odd flying pots and pans, all from the comfort of your dining room table. If you feel like you are being led down the garden path you can visit the horticulturist, who’s goal is to provide the kitchen with all the seasonal herbs and vegetables needed to make it a self-sustaining, real farm-style kitchen – with a ” lekka” South African twist. Although the flavours and tastes will be shouting South African, your feelings will say farm, family and feast, and all the associated comfort will enfold you in dishes such as oxtail, venison ragu, roast chicken or vegetable broth.From breakfast through to lunch and dinner, small bites and picnic baskets a delicious experience awaits you!
Wine Cellar: There is a wine cellar located at the entrance to the dining room that takes you down to a temperature controlled cellar. Specially selected wine partners feature on the menu, w ith wine suggestions to compliment cuisine and desserts
