Boschendal Estate is excited to announce its welcoming of the soon-to-open Arum Restaurant: A fire-focused restaurant lauded by FYN Group, led by none other than the chef-founder Peter Tempelhoff, culinary director Ashley Moss, and sommelier and service director Jennifer Hugé.
When I think of the valley, I think of lilies,” says Tempelhoff, referencing the arum lily — the restaurant’s namesake and a flower native to the Cape. “For me, Arum is about honouring the land, the farm, and the history of the place – both of Boschendal and Franschhoek – through the mediums of fire and flavour.”
The restaurant promises a vibrant, produce-led, fire-driven approach to one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine estates.
“Boschendal is one of South Africa’s greatest agricultural gems,” Tempelhoff adds. “Arum is our way of telling its story — through the produce it grows, the history, and, of course, the wine.”
Set within the original cellar of the 1812 manor house and a Cape Dutch heritage landmark, the Werf building, Arum will showcase a farm-to-fire approach.
