The ultimate dining experience is a seamless integration of many elements\u2026. an inspiring setting, the finest seasonal ingredients, service excellence, a talented team and an executive chef with a clear sense of purpose. The internationally acclaimed La Colombe<\/a><\/strong> recently underwent an extensive renovation, with all these elements being carefully assessed, with the aim of providing customers a pinnacle dining experience. We take a quick peek inside at the newly revamped La Colombe to see what’s changed.<\/p>\n

A New Look for La Colombe<\/h4>\n

The La Colombe interior has been comprehensively revamped, offering a sense of space and tranquillity that mirrors its environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking into account the restaurant\u2019s majestic setting amongst the trees at Silvermist, we decided to turn the interior into a refined treehouse with a calm, neutral palette, where the forest and the food do the talking,\u201d says interior designer Hayley Turner from Bone Studio<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Featuring The Dove<\/h4>\n

La Colombe means \u2018the dove\u2019 and you\u2019ll see this bird\u2019s subtle presence throughout. Firstly, in the majestic, hand-drawn artwork by Lucie de Moyencourt on the main feature wall, and then also the carved wooden doves by local artisan Lameck Tayengwa.<\/p>\n

The white oiled chevron oak floors, travertine mosaic and hand-cut bespoke terracotta tiles, and the touches of brass and oak complement the crisp white linen of fine dining.<\/p>\n

Newly Revamped La Colombe Re-opens<\/h4>\n

Having been closed for six weeks for this major revamp, La Colombe reopens this week, with former Head Chef James Gaag<\/a>, now full time at the helm as Executive Chef, while Jess van Dyk has returned to La Colombe as the new Head Chef, and Keegan Braithewaite takes over as Sous Chef. There\u2019ll be a new menu, keeping true to form to deliver the kind of dishes diners have come to expect of this award-winning establishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted to finally realise my dream of running La Colombe. My team and I are excited for this new and exciting chapter. We\u2019ll be keeping some signature dishes on the menu, and can\u2019t wait to introduce everyone to the new dishes. First and foremost, is a balance of flavours. I believe food should be delicious and inviting and not overthought, overworked or overcomplicated,\u201d says James.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Book your seat at La Colombe and experience the new look as well as new dishes on the menu.<\/p>\n
