Once you have worked up an appetite on one of the numerous forest and coastal walks that the area is famed for, you'll be able to do justice to the exquisite food on offer.

Ingredients are sourced locally as far as possible, quality and freshness being the criteria: the rusticity of a baked or roasted whole fish with the taste of slightly burned herbs; a bouillabaise with potent aìoli-topped croutons, and sexy, salty, savoury oysters.

Everything is presented simply, with light sauces and minimal garnishing –so that you can taste the very essence of the sea.

If you aren't in the mood for seafood, you'll be equally well catered for with dishes such as superb roast duck with orange sauce (rated the best on the coast !) slow-cooked lamb shanks, pastas and vegetarian options.

An extensive, Diners Club award-winning winelist complements the meal. The accent is on South African wines, and the selection changes regularly to accommodate interesting new discoveries.
