Even as the weather cools down, there’s still plenty to do when you visit the Mother City. Have a quick look at what the Art House Collection team has curated the best things to experience for the month of June. 

EAT 

Indo Pop-up

Home to some of South Africa’s best restaurants and the finest dining experiences around, Cape Town is simply the place to be for any avid restaurant-goer.

This month, if you’re in the mood for a decadent and delicious food experience, why not visit Delaire Graff’s Indo pop-up? Running from 15 May until 23 October, the restaurant space is headed up by chef Virgil Khan and his team. The menu is described as “a thrilling epicurean adventure, balancing authenticity and innovation with fresh, delicate food as light as it is satisfying–where everything is served to create an all-sensory dining experience.” Sound like something you’d love? The pop-up serves guests from Tuesday to Saturday, with guests set to arrive at 6pm, and being seated at 6:30pm.
