Looking for an authentic, original and immersive experience to discover African cuisine? This experience is for you! We spent Valentine's Day with the chefs of Mpintshi Yum, two sisters with a unique background, which they did not hesitate to share with us. Each dish is carefully thought out and is related to their history and culture. Their culinary approach is very original, precise while being deeply human. Everything was very good, from the starter to the dessert, all accompanied by South African wines. Personally, I don't drink alcohol: they offered me an alternative every time. We felt pampered throughout the meal, which was punctuated with attentions, personal stories and a very informative and fun activity to discover the spices. I was particularly touched by the sincerity of all these moments: this evening was unforgettable.

Mpintshi Yum was an amazing experience with the wonderful sister chefs that made me feel so welcome and really told the story of the African food journey. My favourite part of the dinner was eating Ox Tongue for the first time, which chef Lima said was close to her heart because it was a Sunday dish by her grandma. The dinner was accompanied by amazing South African wines too. I really loved the experience
