The Chefs' Table Sans cultural allegiance, we offer dishes that borrow tradition, techniques & styles from all over -
(1765)

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.

Our Final W**e Evening of 2026 - FOOD & W**E PAIRING DINNER WITH IONA W**ES

Join us on Wednesday 28 October as we close our year of Food & W**e Pairing dinners with Iona. Our host is Jacqui Henderson, Cape W**e Master, head of marketing and a member of the Iona family.

Iona farms with great care, so the cellar can take a natural, hands-off approach. The aim is w**es that capture the character of each vintage and a true sense of place.

Jacqui and Beverage Director Karl Rohlandt have hand-picked the w**es for the evening. Executive Chef Mathew Armbruster has paired them with a seasonal, once-off five-course menu inspired by the flavours of KwaZulu-Natal.

This is the last pairing dinner on our calendar until 2027, so don't miss your chance to end the year with five courses, exceptional w**es and great company.
