We invite culinary tourists and foodies to take their place at The South African Table. Around this table, those interested in culinary culture can share an authentic South African meal, enjoy Cape wine and join the conversation on the origin and development of the local gastronomy.

South Africa is a melting pot of cultures, all of which influence food traditions and styles of cooking. The passionate and amicable Chef Pieter de Jager introduces guests to the diversity of South African cuisine, starting with the tradition of sharing and a nibble platter of South African favourites. He prepares the dishes, explains the history and shares the tales behind the two-course meal that follows – a true celebration of typical food styles, ingredients and wine from South Africa’s rich culinary tradition. Joining him at the generous table in the vibey Leopard’s Leap kitchen, is an enthusiastic Wine Tasting Ambassadors who introduces guests to the Leopard’s Leap wines and their unique South African attributes.

The South African Table at Leopard’s Leap brings together old and new friends for a relaxed mid-week luncheon of authentic South African cuisine and conversations on food and wine – a highlight on any Franschhoek itinerary.

The South African Table takes place on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 12:00 – 13:00.

Cost per person: R 250
