Planet Restaurant
Love for the ingredients is the motto that defines the cuisine of Planet Restaurant. This respect is woven into the essence of the food that is served by Chef Rudi Liebenberg and his passionate team, from the moment the fresh produce arrives in the kitchen, to the preparation and the plating, until it is proudly presented to you.Our ingredients are carefully sourced from local suppliers, from earthy veggies to intensely flavoured local leaves and berries, to meticulously sourced meat and fish. Our award-winning artisan breads are baked fresh everyday using stone ground flour.Planet's menu will surprise and delight you with weekly (and sometimes daily ) changes to accommodate the freshest possible ingredients, but for our regular guests, please don't worry, the perennial favourites are still there.And please don't forget to ask your waiter to tell you more about the Abalimi Bezekhaya salad!Executive Chef - Rudi Liebenberg
