The Kitchen in the Old Cellar
Die Swael opened in 2019 in the stone cellar the Huguenot family built in 1898, and it still has the thick walls, the cool air and the swallows under the eaves.
Head chef Sipho Mthembu cooks what the farm and the valley give that week: trout from Franschhoek, Karoo lamb, vegetables from the valley and olive oil pressed on the farm.
