Dining Experience
Flavourful & Fresh
The chefs at Zinzi Restaurant come from a variety of culinary backgrounds and each brings their own passion and creativity to the menu.
Taking inspiration from Africa and beyond they have created a menu that is a testament to the art of cooking simple yet flavourful food and presenting it in a beautiful and affordable way. The Zinzi Menu changes seasonally to ensure that you not only get to eat seasonal produce but also enjoy the variety our chefs strive for when creating the dishes. We source the best local and seasonal produce for our menu. As such, the menu is subject to change and may vary from the published menu on our platforms

Wonderful Wine Selection
Something for everyone
Zinzi wine cellar carefully houses a selection of vintage and younger wines for you to enjoy. The Zinzi wine cellar pays homage to the wine makers of South Africa, showcasing the best of each wine region. From the cooler coastal Sauvignon Blancs to the rich Shiraz grapes grown on the slopes of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, each wine is carefully selected and cared for so that you can savour their wonderful flavours while enjoying the sunset over the forest.

Our team is what makes us who we are

Having fulfilled my passion for cooking for many years as a Head Chef, I was drawn to being more directly involved with guests and moved into management. I am overjoyed every day working with the dazzling Zinzi team, delighting our guests and in turn, bringing them joy. Zinzi is a unique dining experience in a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere amidst the tranquility of the estate. Our guests fall in love with Zinzi and return again and again.
