Cape Floral Kitchen

When visitors walk in to share their exceptional experiences at local restaurants with the tourism staff we listen.  Susanne and Jürgen Schneider are no strangers to the Overstrand hospitality scene.  We know them from Springfontein Eats in Stanford and were disappointed to learn about their retirement.  Fortunately for foodies the retirement was short lived. News soon spread that the Schneiders were back in business in the Overstrand.  This time at Bella Vista situated 8.4kms from Stanford on the Gansbaai Road.  The talented couple with 40 years of experience in hotels and restaurants around the world and a Michelin Star to boot started Schneider’s Cape Floral Kitchen and already it is a big hit. 

Attention to detail is what this couple is known for – from booking, arrival to the first course arriving, diners know that they are in good hands. Jürgen has been cooking for 50 years and feels that he is an expert on how to please people’s palates.  Food and nature inspire him and with the Overberg being at the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom it is easy to forage and plate indigenous plants such as dune spinach, wild sage, cancer bush, buchu, seaweed.

There are more than expansive Walker Bay views.  Art at Schneider’s Cape Floral Kitchen is presented by ARTsouthAFRICA and all the work on display are for sale and can be shipped. Works of Corne Theron, Jaime Danielle Smith and Sara Gaqa are amongst those for sale.

On Christmas Eve the Cape Floral Kitchen is serving a 5-course dinner at 18:30 at an all-inclusive price of R999pp which includes aperitif, wine, water, and espresso. Booking is essential.
