ANNOUNCEMENT | KRONE CHEFS IN RESIDENCE #2
After the successful launch of the inaugural Krone Chefs In Residence in February 2025 in Tulbagh, Western Cape, Krone is excited to announce that the second series will take place in Johannesburg from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November 2026 together with Andrea Burgener and Nick Gordon. As two of the city’s most celebrated chefs, Burgener and Gordon will reprise The Leopard as a pop-up restaurant for one weekend only, cooking a total of three lunches over three days at Glenshiel in Westcliff.
Having spent time at Twee Jonge Gezellen, they will reimagine the farm in a city setting with a menu that draws from memorable favourites that were enjoyed at their well-loved neighbourhood fixture and will honour the locally sourced produce they select from their trusted farmers and suppliers.
After adding multiple highlights to Johannesburg’s food scene over three decades with restaurants including Superbonbon, Deluxe I and Deluxe I followed by The Leopard, which the pair have since reformatted into a deli, The Leopard will take up residence at Glenshiel, one of Johannesburg’s most important historic homes, to cook their cult classics with a twist for guests for three days.
The Leopard restaurant has long been famous for a compact but playful menu using the finest ingredients available, and which regulars will remember as a welcoming sit-down space where breakfast was served all day, and seasonal, globally inspired dishes were crafted from produce sourced from ethical and sustainable purveyors.
BOOKINGS OPEN on Monday 5 October.
Space is limited with two lunches and 60 seats for each day.
