The finest local produce and recipes, from Cape Malay curried octopus to Outeniqua springbok, feature on the 12-course tasting menu. For serious foodies only; desserts are served on petrified Madagascan wood, to remind diners of the circle of life and death.

Greenhouse also offers a 'chef for the day' cooking experience, in which you do a shift in the kitchen followed by lunch or dinner.
