Touchwood Food Emporium

At Touchwood Food Emporium, food is prepared the way it should be — slow, honest, generous, and deeply rooted in tradition.
Inspired by the warmth of a farmhouse kitchen, we blend comforting classics with beloved South African favourites. Think hearty slow-cooked dishes, fragrant curries, golden pies, and fresh homemade pasta that bring everyone to the table with smiles and empty plates.
Our menu changes monthly so we can cook with the seasons, celebrate what’s fresh and local, and keep things exciting. Every meal is crafted from scratch by a professional chef who combines culinary skill with the love and care of true home cooking. Our pasta is made fresh daily, and many of the herbs that flavour our food come straight from our own garden.
We believe good food doesn’t need to be fussy — it just needs to be real. Real ingredients. Real time. Real heart. Generous portions, patient cooking methods, and recipes that honour both heritage and flavour.
Whether you’re feeding a busy family, hosting friends, or simply treating yourself to a proper homemade meal after a long day, Touchwood brings that farmhouse feeling straight to your table — in the Cape and beyond.
This is comfort food with roots.
Food made with patience, pride, and plenty of heart.
Food that feels like home. 🌿
