What’s on the menu?
At Mont Rochelle the food served is a blend of international dishes with a healthy nod to the varied nature of South Africa cuisine, paired naturally with some superb local vintages. The wrap-around views of the Franschhoek valley do steal the show somewhat, but you can be sure our chefs have been focusing on dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Sustainability:
Mont Rochelle’s chefs use vegetables from local farmers and all fish and shellfish are sourced from local waters. We strive to ensure that as much of our food as possible is locally sourced in South Africa to ensure maximum economic benefit to the people and minimal transport and ‘food miles’. The lamb and springbok come from the Karoo and surrounding regions, and trout is sourced from the local Franschhoek valley. The on-site herb garden provides parsley, thyme and rosemary for the kitchens. Olives and fruits (including figs, crabapples, pomegranate and kumquat) are all sourced from local trees surrounding Mont Rochelle.
