At the heart of Ellerman House lies CURATE, an intimate fine-dining restaurant that celebrates South Africa’s culinary artistry with imagination and precision. More than a meal, CURATE offers a gastronomic journey, each course inspired by the country’s landscapes, ingredients, and people.

​

The dining experience unfolds as a multi-course tasting menu, changing with the seasons and crafted from the freshest local produce. Every dish is a story, from the coastal notes of Saldanha Bay oysters and West Coast mussels to the earthy depth of Karoo lamb and the delicate sweetness of Cape citrus.

​

Each course is expertly paired with wines from Ellerman House’s legendary cellar, a 7,500-bottle collection that showcases South Africa’s most celebrated vineyards alongside hidden gems. The sommelier team guides guests through a sensory exploration of terroir and time, making each pairing both educational and unforgettable.

​

CURATE’s setting is as refined as its cuisine, elegant, understated, and intimate, with soft lighting, fine art, and views that stretch across the Atlantic. Service is personal yet unintrusive, allowing the food and wine to take centre stage.

​

Dining at CURATE is not simply about indulgence; it’s an expression of South Africa’s evolving culinary identity, refined, creative, and deeply connected to its roots.
