Come Dine at the Duchess

Our passionate team is dedicated to crafting and serving exceptional meals that you’ll love.

Our Story

The Duchess is the brainchild of a team with two decades of restaurant experience, straight out of the bustling streets of Johannesburg.

Imagine stumbling upon a hidden NYC speak-easy or discovering a secret spot in a Parisian alley, it’s the kind of joint where you might find Woody Allen’s crew—Picasso, Dali, and Hemingway—just hanging out.

Meet Our Family

Our restaurant is proudly owner-run, ensuring a personal touch in every detail.

Our kitchen team has been crafting exceptional dishes together since before you were even born, bringing decades of experience and passion to every plate.

Leading the bar is our esteemed business partner, Dumi, who runs one of the best bars in the world, offering an unparalleled drink experience.

Our servers? They’re clever, sexy, and delightfully cheeky, adding a vibrant energy to your dining experience.
