Dining at Sashwa
Delight in radiant cuisine that nourishes both body and soul.
At Sashwa River of Stars, food is more than just nourishment—it is medicine, art, and a path to sustainability. Designed by Chef Arabella Parkinson of Eat to Thrive Consultancy, our food philosophy reflects a deep commitment to personal health and environmental stewardship. Chef Parkinson believes that our relationship with food is vital not only for individual well-being but also for the health of the planet.
By crafting dishes that stimulate the senses with minimal environmental impact, we aim to inspire our guests to rethink their connection with food. At the heart of our philosophy lies a Circular Gastronomy approach, where local, seasonal and indigenous ingredients are celebrated and food waste is returned to the ecosystem to regenerate soil, mirroring the natural cycles of the environment.
Nourishment with Purpose
Each meal at Sashwa Lodge is carefully designed to ground and energize. We prioritize stabilizing blood sugar levels and sustaining energy through diverse plant proteins, whole foods, and high-fiber grains. Our menu is free from processed sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils, ensuring a luxurious food experience that promotes personal health. Made entirely from scratch, our menu focuses on reducing waste and packaging where possible while celebrating a high-end culinary journey.
Dining Areas
Our dining areas are designed to harmonize with the breathtaking riverfront views. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows bring the outdoors in, allowing guests dining indoors to bask in the natural beauty of the surrounds. For a more al fresco experience, the outdoor patio and pergola are perfect for savoring leisurely lunches on warm, sunny days. Weather permitting, we offer the option of a romantic candle-lit dinner under the stars on our scenic riverfront deck. Enhance your dining experience with selections from our self-service bar, featuring organic wines and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages.
Celebrating Local and Indigenous Ingredients
The on-site garden at Sashwa contributes organic produce that reduces our carbon footprint and promotes soil health. We champion seasonal, climate-smart, and indigenous ingredients, showcasing the flavors and biodiversity of the local environment. Every dish tells a story of connection—connection to the land, the community, and the future of sustainable food systems.
Conservation Through Culinary Excellence
Our passion for protecting the planet extends to every plate. By choosing local and fresh produce and understanding the journey of our food, we minimize our environmental impact while maximizing taste. Chefs and farmers are vital agents of change, and through our offerings, we honour their role in building a sustainable future for our local food systems.
