Dinner at Benguela

Every night, Benguela owner, Jonathan Engelbrecht, entertains guests at his lavish 16-seater Chef’s Table to a magnificent five-course set menu paired with the finest wines followed by handmade truffles, espresso and Cognac, all for R600 a person.

Operating for three years now from the old family home, mostly by word-of-mouth, Benguela offers guests the opportunity to sit around one big table and get to know one another. “An instant large family and familiarity. This is what I want to create each evening.” says Jonathan.

Stylish and cool – This restaurant is very different from the others we tried. Wonderful, brilliantly presented food in very stylish surroundings. The service was friendly and fun and the whole atmosphere memorable.”

Great food, great wine, great company

“I went to Benguela with my wife and three adult children and were overwhelmed by Johanthan’s hospitality. Other (local) guests joined the table for dinner as well. It really learned us more about South Africa in general; local tips for things to see and do were appreciated. The food was excellent. Tomata/red pepper cappuccino was phenomenal. Local meat (Eland): very tasty. During the evening we enjoyed different South African wines which were all excellent.”
