I have worked on ships and gone

opportunity to be exposed to multicultural
ways of catering.
I am now ready
to share this experience with all,
both our guests and fellow colleagues.
Hosting you at “Roots”
will give me great pleasure. My
goal is to improve our wonderful
African hospitality and make the
bridge with international expectations
and standards.
It is all about
service and I will be at your service
always…

What an opportunity for my career!! I have joined
“Roots” team.
An unparalleled and unique
restaurant, contemporary in style and fun…
Having to match the food to the style is a great
challenge. Under the supervision of Philippe,
I am allowed to experiment, create and no limit
but the sky. We are making everything in house
from jams to croissant or sausages.
We would like to create a new South African
gourmet cuisine together with the help of local
farmers having access to the freshest and best
ingredients; we hopefully will be leading and
encourage others within the region to follow.
Bon Appetit!!

No easy ways at Roots …
We make everything in house. A wonderland
for a pastry chef like me. The satisfaction
of our guest eating a homemade croissant or
chocolate soufflé freshly baked, just
out of the oven and seeing the satisfaction
in their facial expression gives me all the
encouragement I need. Being amongst such a
creative and willing team is a great pleasure.
It is making our hard and long difficult job
worthwhile. Being able to use the best chocolate
obliges me to succeed in my desert making.
Seeing apricots Sunripened apricots grow on
the farm makes our jams so much better than
supermarket jams filled with preservatives
and additives.
The proof is in the eating of the pudding…
