Showcasing Zimbabwean talent through culinary delights
Our kitchen team is led by two of the finest chefs on the continent, Chef Shane and Chef Artwell, who have taken our cuisine to new heights that guests have likened to some of the best in the world. We understand that the culinary experience is so much a part of your overall guest experience, and so during your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to experience a variety of dining experiences that we have created. Our menus, which are prepared daily, focus on regionally sourced, exceptional produce. And our chefs are adept at catering for a wide range of dietaries, and frequently complimented for pleasing the most particular of requests.
