While we are working at designing and conceptualizing the new Leopard's Leap Vineyards in Franschhoek, we have been thinking a great deal about the restaurant and the culinary experiences we want to offer guests. Since Franschhoek is regarded as the culinary capital of South Africa, with many award-winning restaurants, and our sister estate La Motte recently opening their new restaurant, we are getting advice from the best.

We are honoured to have chef Liam Tomlin on board as our culinary consultant. Born in Dublin, Liam is most well-known for his ventures in Australia, where he was responsible for running Banc in Sydney, voted as the best restaurant in Australia. Author of two books, consultant to Woolworths and British Airways and internationally-renowned, Liam has settled in Cape Town and opened Chefs Warehouse and Cookery School. The beautiful space is a haven for foodies, selling quality products and offering fantastic courses led by Liam and other top chefs.

We look forward to cooking up great ideas with Liam!
