Homespun at the Andros, nestled within the aristocratic embrace of the 5-star Andros Deluxe Boutique Hotel, beckons those with a palate for tales rich in flavor and history.

Our story begins with a young visionary named Matt Schreuder, a culinary artist who wandered through the hallowed kitchens of the world's Michelin-star sanctuaries. With dreams marinated in global flavors, Matt returned to his Cape Town roots, eager to share his gourmet chronicles. He laid the first chapter of his tale in Blouberg, creating Homespun by Matt Blouberg, a place where European techniques danced with Asian, South African, and global notes. Like Julia Child, who transported the art of French cuisine across the Atlantic, Matt's endeavor was to take his patrons on a gastronomic journey, far from the trodden paths.

In the Southern Suburbs, amidst the poetic beauty of the Andros Boutique Hotel's gardens, Matt unveiled 'Homespun at the Andros.' Here, every dish spins a yarn of imagination, luxury, and a relentless pursuit of culinary excellence.
