Donovan was absolutely amazing! We had such a beautiful experience. We were 7 people, food was given to all at the same time, was warm and an explanation per dish. We will definitely use Donovan again????

The best chef in Knysna!! Chef Donovan was amazing, very professional, very patient and service was great! He is excellent at communicating and gets back to me quickly. Great food, great presentation and my favorite part was, he gave us detail description and history behind each meal. Chef was also very resourceful. He recommended some great services I was looking for in Knysna. He was able to find me a specific champagne brand I was looking for. Chef Donovan is a great guy, book him and he will make your service better than you expected and memorable. Thank you Chef
