Tambourine

Tambourine is a modern small-plates restaurant in District Six, built around a farm-to-fork approach that starts with pasture-raised beef, lamb and chicken and vegetables grown mostly on its own pesticide-free, regenerative farm project in Khayelitsha. Fish is line-caught and wild whenever possible, and the kitchen works only with family-run, traceable dairy.

Every dish is crafted from scratch, including the bread and pasta, and the kitchen cooks over open fire while sticking to what is local, seasonal and organic. Even food waste is composted back into the soil that grows the next harvest, so the restaurant describes every plate as telling a story that starts with care.

The restaurant is at 104 Harrington Street in District Six, and it suits diners who want a considered, farm-to-table meal built on small plates.
