People, planet, plate
La Residence Executive Chef Greg Henderson is introducing his sustainability-based approach to sourcing ingredients and creating dishes. He’s deeply committed to transformation and positive change, both within his kitchen and in the wider food world. Chef Greg is deeply inspired by the magic of the Franschhoek Valley, its people and the indigenous ingredients he is discovering there.
Chef Greg is also inspired by Liz Biden’s designs for La Residence, and her choice of artworks throughout the property. He loves the way she has woven together contrasting and complementary elements to create a distinct narrative thread, and aims to do the same through the dishes he and his team create. Prepare to embark on a remarkable culinary journey!
La Residence welcomes non-resident guests for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner subject to availability and by prior reservation only.
