Win a Dégustation Menu for Two at Heirloom Worth R5 000
Winner announced! Congrats to Colleen Kindo who won this fabulous prize.
By Inside Guide • 27 August 2024
The plush, light and beautifully comfortable new restaurant at the iconic Cape Grace Hotel looks out over bobbing yachts and twinkling city lights to Table Mountain. Celebrating the rich tapestry of South African flavours, Heirloom epitomises fine dining with classic French techniques applied to contemporary local ingredients, but with a signature twist.
The dégustation menu devised by chef Gregory Czarnecki takes a diametrically opposite approach to the fine-dining culture of theatrics, going daringly minimalist with a monochromatic white-themed palette throughout the menu. With not a hint of foam, drizzle or garnish, the focus of each dish is on restrained elegance (and plenty of indulgence) in four- and seven-course menus impeccably created by executive chef Asher Abramowitz and team.
There’s a sense of intrigue as you discover the star ingredient hidden beneath the veil of a richly creamy sauce, a lattice of kataifi pastry, or a canopy of crispy chicken skin. A pop of colour is occasionally revealed under the surface: confit tomato adding a counterbalance of acidity to the seductive rock lobster Dugléré; or the morel and port jus with the deceptively simple poached chicken dish. It’s clever, beguiling (even a touch bewildering to the eye), and rich enough to please the most hedonistic of diners.
If you haven’t yet made it to this singular new addition to the Cape Town dining scene, enter our competition and stand a chance to win the full dégustation experience.

Nearly losing my beloved husband a few weeks before our wedding anniversary gave me the motivation to appreciate the true beauty that is life; winning this competition would attest to the celebration of love experienced in my marriage. I am truly blessed as a Cape Townian and the wife of an amazing man.
