About Séverine
The only French cooking lessons in Cape Town. For all levels.
Founder & chef
Séverine, a food and wine lover.
“French cooking, with a Cape Town accent. Bon Appétit!”
I always wanted a restaurant of my own, but my parents had other plans for me. So I followed a different path, yet the passion never faded. I chased it anyway, training alongside great French chefs and becoming, unapologetically, an epicurean.
Two years ago I came back to live in South Africa and settled in Hout Bay, and I am now eager to bring the refinement of French gastronomy here, reimagined with local ingredients. It is not always easy, but that is exactly what makes it exciting.
