  • For cheese lovers, the smoked Stanford cheese paired with pickled grapes and crisps is a treat for the senses.
  • The flavors continue with the fired sesame and ginger chicken sosatie, a unique fusion of local and Asian influences, and a delicate quiche au fromage for an added touch of comfort.
  • Seafood enthusiasts will relish the trout pâté served with gherkins and lavash, while the crispy grain salad with peas and mint and a fresh Cavalli garden salad drizzled with herb vinaigrette add a refreshing, healthy element to the spread.
  • To conclude this gourmet affair, sweet indulgences come in the form of the famous Basque-style cheesecake and delicate lemon madeleines, offering a sublime end to a perfect picnic.
