Zulu-inspired winter fare

A picture of a stew

Southern Sun Newlands Café, nestled in the heart of Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, has launched its new winter menu. As the temperatures drop, guests can now indulge in a delightful fusion of flavours that celebrate South African heritage and local ingredients.

Nose-to-tail cooking and Zulu-inspired flair

Executive chef Sihle Dlamini, the creative force behind the menu, draws inspiration from local heritage cuisine and fresh produce. His commitment to nose-to-tail cooking infuses each dish with authenticity. His journey – from his grandmother’s kitchen in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal to prestigious hotel restaurants – has shaped him into a maestro of flavours, textures and presentations. His dedication to South African flavours shines through in every dish.

Guests can now indulge in comfort food for a variety of tastes. Some examples to whet your appetite:

  • Spicy Chicken Wings – Perfectly grilled in a rich tomato sauce with a touch of chili and toasted sesame seeds, these wings are a must-try.
  • Beef and Bone Marrow Soup (pictured) – A comforting bowl of warmth, combining robust flavours and tender beef.
  • Slow-Braised Pork Belly – Served with samp and beans, this dish promises to take the edge off the winter chill.

“Our winter menu at Southern Sun Newlands Café is a celebration of South African culinary diversity. Chef Sihle’s innovative approach and flair bring a fresh perspective to our dining experience. We invite guests to cosy up and savour the rich flavours of winter in a relaxed atmosphere perfect for easy dining and casual drinks. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, our winter menu promises a gastronomic adventure.”
