| The philosophy of Serendipity Restaurant is founded
on the beliefs:
THAT South Africa has a wealth of
culinary gems mostly unknown to the world and
it is our passion to showcase this in a unique
and innovative way at Serendipity.
THAT the kitchen is a language by
means of which harmony, creativity, happiness,
beauty, poetry, complexity, magic, humour, provocation,
and culture can be adequately expressed.
THAT quality occurs by intimacy with
and love and respect for the product, as well
as the knowledge of the technique to elaborate
and enhance it
THAT all the products are gastronomically
valuable, irrespective of price
and should at all times and under all circumstances
be handled with greatest respect and circumspect.
THAT local and indigenous red meat
and birds are preferred ingredients;
products of the vegetal world and the sea are
also predominating and great accent is placed
on freshness and seasonal produce.
THAT although the characteristics of products
are modified (temperature, texture, form, etc.),
the objective is to always preserve
the purity of their original form; and to save
flavour in the processes.
THAT Serendipity is not just another
restaurant but an exceptional experience of South
African hospitality and haute cuisine in an ambient
environment.
