Wining and Dining…who doesn’t love it? This week we take you on a cultural and culinary journey featuring some of our finest African Restaurants.

1. Indochine Restaurant, South Africa.

Embark on a thrilling epicurean adventure with Head Chef Virgil Kahn at Indochine Restaurant.

One of the earliest meeting points between East and West, Cape sailors returned from Asia’s spice lands with great riches, and it is these flavours that are celebrated at Indochine, together with the expression they found in South Africa’s Cape Malay cuisine.

Balancing authenticity and innovation, Head Chef Virgil draws on old Cape Malay family recipes and his frequent trips to Asia to offer fresh, delicate food as light as it is satisfying, served with an imaginative touch of theatre.

Dine al fresco with views of Table Mountain on the western horizon or beneath the eye-catching Swallows in Flight art installation by Lionel Smit and André Stead in Indochine’s rich and intimate blue and copper toned interior.
