Since opening in 2016, The Chefs' Table has earned its place as one of the more sophisticated dining experiences in Durban, while remaining contemporary and approachable. Beautifully designed, with luxurious detail The Chefs' Table offers gracious hospitality, located in the heart of the Umhlanga village. Executive Chef Mathew Armbruster presents a modern, seasonal menu inspired by the best fresh,

seasonal ingredients that Kwa-Zulu Natal has to offer. The open plan kitchen is at the heart of the restaurant, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work and feel the connection to the food and the beautifully plated dishes being prepared. A world class w**e cellar, stocked with unique, vintage w**es from South Africa, as well as a selection of International w**es, specifically French and New Zealand w**es, rank among the noteworthy highlights of the restaurants w**e programme, headed by manager of the programme, George Dzubinsky. INSPIRED EATING EXPERIENCES
Each dish is carefully sculptured around exceptional flavours and plated as a work of art on hand crafted ceramic dishes, further reinforcing the artisanal nature of the dining experience. The full w**e cellar boasts an impressive array of fine South African w**es as well as vintage bottles that can be viewed on request. The interior of the restaurant reflects the philosophy of the food: natural materials, raw, luxurious yet simple... comfortable and familiar, yet exhilarating and adventurous.

FOOD & W**E PAIRING DINNER WITH DAVID NIEUWOUDT

Join us on Wednesday, 16 September for an exceptional six-course Food & W**e Pairing Dinner with Cederberg, hosted by fifth-generation w**emaker David Nieuwoudt.

For this special evening, Chef Mathew Armbruster and Sommelier Karl Rohlandt have created a six-course tasting menu paired with w**es from both the Cederberg and Ghost Corner collections.

The evening offers an opportunity to explore two very different expressions of terroir. Alongside the high-altitude w**es of Cederberg, we'll discover Ghost Corner - David Nieuwoudt's distinctive range inspired by the wild maritime landscape around Elim, where lime-rich soils, slate and gravel meet the influence of the southern Cape coastline.

David will guide guests through the evening, sharing the stories behind the w**es, the vineyards and the philosophy that has shaped both collections.

Join us for six courses, exceptional w**es and an evening of conversation with one of South Africa's most respected w**emakers.
