Spyskaart (Menu) is a South African television show that celebrates ingredients that are in-season and local to the region where the filming takes place. It’s an exciting competition style show where the two chef-presenters create a two-course menu. The show features chefs from different restaurants and towns around South Africa weekly.
During the week of 18 January 2023 La Gratitude Villa in Hermanus hosted the SABC 2 show, featuring Shane Sauvage of La Pentola Restaurant. Shane showcased some of the most precious food treasures of Hermanus and prepared a menu including blueberries from Haygrove Heaven and Abagold while touring Heart of Abalone in Hermanus New Harbour. It was an exhilarating episode where the chef-presenters cook their hearts out to impress Chef Shane with the local ingredients that he knows all too well.

Main Course
• Lemon Risotto
• Tempura lemon and dune salad pickle
• Abalone Risotto, tempura abalone and dune salad pickle
