Food & Drink
You'll find superb South African food and wine at the Willaston Bar and Granary Café. Cocktails feature unusual ingredients such as the Kalahari truffle and rooibos syrup. We loved the Cape Malay cauliflower with sultanas and capers followed by springbok loin with poached pear.
The Granary Café: bar and dining room, contemporary cuisine. All-day dining, open daily.
The Silo Rooftop: rooftop bar and terrace. Serving poke bowls, salads and sharing platters. Open daily from 12pm.
