perfection
Virgil Kahn of Delaire Graff
Estate’s Indochine restaurant
offers an evocative fine-
dining experience
Asian-inspired cuisine gets a South
African twist at Indochine – situated
on Delaire Graff Estate in Stellenbosch
- in the expert hands of head chef Virgil
Kahn. Using a delicate touch, this flavour
craftsman devises dishes that have just the
right combination of beauty and balance.
Virgil spends much of his time sourcing
the best products available and personally
getting to know the suppliers that are
able to deliver the freshness, quality
and impeccable provenance that his
cuisine demands.
The kitchens at Delaire Graff Estate
only use meat that is free of hormones
and antibiotics and which is from free-range
farms that believe in pasture rearing. Many
ingredients also come straight from Delaire
Graff Estate’s own greenhouse, including
fresh Asian herbs, micro greens and
vegetables. Imported ingredients are kept to
a minimum and sourced as locally as possible
- if not from the surrounding winelands then
from elsewhere in South Africa.
A talented chef with a passion for exotic
and surprising combinations, Virgil Kahn’s
dining philosophy defines Indochine and
is wonderfully complemented by sincere
and caring service, intricate design and
breathtaking views.
