Unveiled in September of 2022, DUSK is a culinary odyssey, meticulously crafted by the young visionary minds of South African restaurateurs Darren Badenhorst and Executive Chef Callan Austin. Placed within the pulsating heart of the historic university town of Stellenbosch, our clandestine thirty-seater enclave is discreetly concealed from casual gazes, creating an intimate shadow world that beckons connoisseurs of fine cuisine and wines on an epic culinary odyssey. “We were aiming for the ambience of an unpretentious New York City speakeasy; the type of space where diners understand that it’s about the holistic experience, the company and of course, the cuisine. It’s not about the views and the setting,” – Darren.
