Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo

Here, there’s an easy-going but luxurious synergy between boutique hotel Tintswalo Atlantic, which feels like the beach house of your dreams, and Liam Tomlin’s Chefs Warehouse concept.

The five-course menu of small plates to be shared emphasises not only seafood but sea life. The menu changes regularly and is anything but your basic fish and tartare sauce fare: a line fish sashimi with smoked haddock crème fraiche, togarashi squid with charred jalapeno mayonnaise, pan-fried kingklip with smoked snoek beurre blanc to name just a few.

Seafood is central but not exclusive: the menu is peppered with meat, game and vegetable dishes that also reflect this special Cape location – with plant-based options as well.

Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo is not about making sweeping culinary statements or presenting a smorgasbord of odd ingredients on a plate. It’s about making sense and doing honour to the setting and its produce, in the most beautiful and delicious way possible.

Cheers to sound thinking, food artistry and the luxury of perfectly simple surroundings. This is truly the good life.
