An evening
exquisitely yours

Private fine dining for small, treasured gatherings — each course composed with intention, each wine chosen with love.

The Experience

A table set for the ones you cherish

Baie Drankie brings a South African soul to intimate fine dining evenings. Mother and daughter, Lorraine and Monique, host small groups in a quiet, candlelit setting — cooking, pouring and telling stories until the last glass.

01

Private & intimate

Small groups of family, friends or colleagues — never a crowd.

02

Multi-course menu

A composed tasting menu, prepared fresh in your setting.

03

Wine, chosen with care

Every glass hand-picked by Monique, our resident sommelier.

Wine Pairing

Poured with precision,
tasted with love

Monique holds a level three sommelier certification and approaches every pairing as a small pursuit — tasting, comparing, returning to the cellar, until the wine and the dish belong together.

Expect quiet showstoppers from the Cape and beyond — the kind of bottles that keep the conversation going long after dessert.

Your Hosts

Monique & Lorraine

A daughter and her mother, bound by a love of hosting. Monique brings the wines and the eye for detail; Lorraine brings the warmth of a table you never want to leave. Together they are Baie Drankie.
