Every year the graduating class of the Swiss Hotel School South Africa creates a concept restaurant that they run as a stand-alone business for a limited period of one month at their campus in Ferndale. This year is no different…

The Class of 2011 have put together Flavours: A Fresh Approach to South African Culinary Favourites.

Their marketing material suggests that the students’ preparation of the well-loved dishes on the Flavours menu will focus on using the best ingredients, keeping things light, and providing rich flavours throughout.

Flavours will be open from 13 September to 09 October with lunch service on offer Tuesday to Friday afternoons, and dinner available from Tuesday to Saturday evenings. The restaurant will also be open each Sunday for a brunch.
