Azure Restaurant, The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa

 

A special, once-off dinner is taking place on Wednesday at the magnificent Azure Restaurant, at the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa.

American Chef Gerard Coughlin, who has been Executive Chef at Red Carnation hotel member at The Chesterfield Palm Beach in Florida/USA since 2007, will be flown to South Africa courtesy of Delta Airlines, to bring a distinctive touch of Americana to Azure, at the five star Twelve Apostles.

His stint at The Twelve Apostles Hotel is part of Red Carnation’s established Guest Chef series, which sees Executive Chefs at sister properties Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat and The Oyster Box trading places to bring their respective signature cuisine to Cape Town, the Cederberg and Umhlanga. The addition of an international chef aims to take the concept to its next exciting phase.
