Presented by the SA Art Fair under the theme The Quiet Gift, the celebration at the newly reimagined Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo Atlantic will unfold over the weekend of 15 and 16 August 2025, featuring a captivating series of four multi-sensory culinary experiences, complemented by a compelling group exhibition showcasing works by more than 20 acclaimed artists across diverse creative disciplines.

The immersive art and dining experience will be curated by Samantha Whittaker of SA Art Fair, in collaboration with Liam Tomlin, the visionary behind the Chefs Warehouse concept, and the Tintswalo Collection, spearheaded by Lisa Goosen as CEO. Head Chef Cameron Smith will present a refined multi-course culinary experience, showcasing Chefs Warehouse’s signature global tapas style. Each dish will highlight fresh, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, thoughtfully crafted to honour the ocean that lies just beyond the restaurant’s doorstep.

“It is a gesture. A moment to receive. A space to reflect on what we carry, what we leave behind, and what truly connects us,” says Samantha. “We are therefore very excited to bring The Quiet Gift to Tintswalo Atlantic, where we will present a unique sensory unfolding of stories at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.”

Guests will enjoy guided walkthroughs of the art installations that run throughout the restaurant and boutique hotel. Alongside the food, curated cocktails will echo the themes and artworks, while conversations with some of the exhibiting artists on site invite deeper insight into the stories behind their work.

Exhibiting artists include acclaimed photographer Chris Minihane, photographer and visual artist Gavin Goodman, multidisciplinary artist Imraan Christian, Robbie Rorich, Susanna Neunast, and more.

Following the theme of legacy through presence, purpose, and quiet generosity, The Quiet Gift exhibition will provide a platform for Lalela, a non-profit organisation based in Hout Bay that provides arts education to youth from under-resourced communities. Throughout the exhibition weekend, Lalela’s beautifully crafted scarves and pyjamas will be on display and available for purchase.

Tickets are available via Webtickets at R2 100 per person or at a discounted rate if you book 4 or more tickets.
