Enjoy an unhurried private meal in Oranjezicht with every menu planned around your guests and occasion.
Set against the slopes of Table Mountain, Oranjezicht offers an inviting setting for private dining at home or in holiday accommodation. Tailor to Taste creates meals that suit the people around your table, rather than asking you to fit a fixed menu. We manage the planning and preparation so you can enjoy the occasion, whether it is a quiet dinner, a birthday or part of a longer Cape Town stay.
Every booking is planned around your accommodation, your guests and the way you want to spend your time in Oranjezicht. The process is personal from the first conversation through to the final kitchen check.
We begin with your dates, guest numbers, accommodation and plans in Oranjezicht. We also discuss dietary requirements, favourite ingredients, the atmosphere you want and whether the meal is part of a celebration.
Your chef develops a menu around the occasion rather than asking you to choose from a fixed package. We can plan anything from relaxed sharing dishes to a composed multi-course dinner, with sourcing handled before the booking.
On the day, we arrive prepared, cook in your accommodation and serve with a discreet, attentive approach. Once the meal is finished, the kitchen is left clean so your group can keep enjoying the evening.
Whether you are arranging one memorable dinner or chef service across several days, Tailor to Taste creates a menu around your preferences, dietary requirements, group size and plans. The experience can include menu planning, ingredient sourcing, preparation in your Oranjezicht accommodation, attentive service and a carefully managed kitchen afterwards.
Our private chef service is suited to relaxed family meals, celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries, intimate dinners, group holidays and guests who simply want to enjoy Cape Town without planning every meal. Each booking is tailored rather than offered as a fixed restaurant-style package.

Oranjezicht gives a private chef room to work with the mood of the home. A menu can begin with small plates for an afternoon arrival, move into a generous dinner and finish with something light, keeping the service aligned with the pace of your group.
