Culinary Experience

Dining

In the evenings pre-dinner drinks can be enjoyed outdoors on the patio or indoors in the lounge. Our kitchen makes the most of the local produce available and specialises in game and seafood dishes, our menu is considered one of the finest in the area. We use only the freshest ingredients, sourced as close to Dune Ridge as possible, with many coming from our own organic garden on the property. This means that as you’re swooning over that hand-made gnocchi or zesty gremolata you are enjoying the freshest organic produce, assisting us in supporting local and minimizing our environmental impact.

Dinners served in the intimate dining room or out on the front patio under the stars, guarantee a journey of tastes and flavours as you explore our evening selection. Menus change on a daily basis dependent on what is in season and available locally. Browse our extensive wine list for the perfect accompaniment to your selection or go with our evenings wine recommendations to complete the experience

Dinners are only served on certain evenings.  Please enquire prior arrival whether our kitchen will be open.
Delicious in-room meals are available for the nights our dining room is closed or if you don’t want to sit down to a formal dinner.

Surrounded by the Indian Ocean it is no wonder our Fish and Seafood dishes are so popular.
St Francis has the biggest calamari ( White Gold ) industry in the country. Local fishermen go out daily ensuring only the freshest catch or scour the rocks for local mussels and oysters.

experience an adventure
 

Destination Dining

We love getting out into nature and encourage our guests to experience something different on at least one of the days which is why our dining experiences are not restricted to our dining room. Enjoy an al fresco picnic with your toes in the beach sand, sip on cocktails as you see the sun set or enjoy a uniquely South African meal at our poolside boma as you watch the fire embers burning low.
