Arum Restaurant

Arum Restaurant is a contemporary farm-to-fire restaurant located on the historic Boschendal Estate in the Franschhoek Valley. Set within the estate’s restored 1812 cellar overlooking organic vegetable gardens, the restaurant focuses on seasonal, produce-driven cuisine inspired by the rhythms of regenerative and biodynamic farming. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Travis Finch and founder Peter Tempelhoff, dishes are prepared using open-fire cooking techniques that highlight smoke, char, fermentation, and ageing while preserving the integrity of each ingredient. Much of the produce is sourced directly from the estate’s gardens, growers, and farmers, creating an ever-evolving menu rooted in locality and seasonality.
