A private membership for exceptional dining, wine and experiences.

Privileges. Experiences. Access.

Not a booking app. Not a loyalty programme.

A private members' club for people who care about good food and good wine, and the tables where both are taken seriously.

Privileges

Member privileges at partner restaurants, and Tafeleen Table 1 when available.

Experiences

The Collection's most memorable evenings, arranged through Tafeleen Concierge.

Access

A Collection of restaurants and wine estates, each personally selected. Not a directory.

Membership by invitation

Every Tafeleen member belongs to one of three Membership Collections. These collections are a reflection of the relationship between Tafeleen and its members, not membership plans to be selected.

Sample card for illustration only. Not a real membership.

Gold The Foundation

The beginning of every Tafeleen journey.

Gold recognises members who share our passion for exceptional restaurants, thoughtful hospitality and discovering remarkable places.

Black Established

Black reflects a deeper relationship with Tafeleen and the restaurants that form our collection.

Reserved for members whose continued engagement reflects the values of the community.

Platinum By Invitation Only

Our highest Membership Collection.

Extended only by invitation, Platinum recognises a small number of members whose relationship with Tafeleen has become truly exceptional.

Membership is not purchased. It is earned through a shared appreciation of exceptional dining.

Membership terms are discussed personally with each founding member.

Dining With Purpose

Exceptional dining should create exceptional impact.

Every Tafeleen membership contributes towards the work of our chosen charitable partners, ensuring that every table enjoyed helps create opportunities beyond it.

Quietly.
Consistently.
Meaningfully.
