About
Self-taught Chef Michael Broughton started cooking in Johannesburg where he opened his first restaurant in 1997 to critical acclaim. In 2003, Michael became executive chef of the Mount Grace Country House & Spa. His dream of starting a restaurant in the Cape winelands became a reality in the shape of Terroir, which opened in October 2004. In keeping with Michael’s vision to create ‘terroirdriven food’ matched to wines of the region, the provenance of locally sourced ingredients remains a key focus.
Michael travels widely, reads avidly, and eating out and networking with fellow chefs are all part of his ongoing ‘research and development’ process. With Michael at the helm, Terroir has achieved a number of prestigious awards over the years.
