our reimagined restaurant

our

restaurant

We’re thrilled to welcome you to our beautifully revamped restaurant located on our farm in the picturesque Durbanville Wine Valley. Here, history and modernity intertwine to bring you an authentic and relaxed culinary experience that celebrates hearty farm-style cuisine with a nod to Cape heritage in a gesellige atmosphere.

Situated in our farm’s historic stable that dates as far back as 1767, the space abounds with original features like the cobble stone floor and wooden troughs that seamlessly complement contemporary, comfortable furniture, while historic photographs and custom blue Dutch tiles adorn thick centuries-old walls.

Meals are also served outdoors on the grassed terrace, offering a spectacular view of the Boland Mountains and surrounded by a charming garden.

farmlife

Our reimagined restaurant serves up exceptional seasonal menus that showcase local farm-fresh produce, including some from our own farm – eggs, dairy and meat (including venison), figs, quinces, honey and olive oil.

Generosity defines the dining experience here. It’s the perfect setting for a leisurely family-style breakfast or lunch on a long weekend, or a quick mid-week treat.

Our breakfast menu has something for everyone, from smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs, smoked feta and blushed tomatoes; souffle omelette with Huguenot cheese, tomato smoor and toast; and homemade granola with farm yoghurt, fynbos honey and cinnamon-stewed apples; to plaatkoekies with whipped peanut butter, grilled banana, bacon and golden syrup; smoked fish cakes with eggs, hollandaise, spinach and chives; and pap & wors with fried eggs, mushrooms and coriander. The “Ou Grote” spread comes with all the trimmings – fried eggs, boerewors, bacon, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, crisp potatoes and toast.

Lunch dishes are thoughtfully crafted to pair seamlessly with our Groot Phesantekraal wines, crafted by talented young winemaker, Richard Schroeder.

Starters include dishes like venison tartare with potato crisps, pickled mustard, fried capers, sour cream and chives; Cape Malay coconut curry with mussels, radish, coriander and vetkoek; and shaved pickled ox tongue with sweet mustard, shaved cauliflower, brown onions and macadamia nuts.

Meanwhile, our main course menu offers mouth-watering options such as dry-aged free-range beef with salt-baked celeriac, confit garlic and jus; braised lamb shoulder with smoked aubergine, tomatoes and olive oil; venison pie with homemade gravy; and grilled yellowtail with braised gem lettuce, peas, bacon and bokkoms.

Our main meals are served with a side dish of your choice. The selection features crisp potatoes with kapokbos salt, sour cream and chives; honey and orange-glazed sweet potatoes with pecan nuts; garden salad with mustard dressing, croutons and Huguenot cheese; and drieboneslaai

You’re in for an absolute treat when it comes to our delectable desserts. Select between milk chocolate cremeux with preserved ginger, honeycomb and vanilla ice cream; strawberry pavlova with Chantilly cream and strawberry sorbet; Cape date & brandy pudding with pecan nuts and vanilla ice cream; and an assortment of top-quality local cheeses with homemade preserves and fresh fruit.

A delightful kids’ menu is also available.

At the rear of our restaurant, a former fowl-house (fascinating to see!) offers an ideal space for private tastings, lunches, or dinners, accommodating approximately 12 guests at a time.

We also host an exciting array of special evenings and events throughout the year. Keep an eye on our social media and website to keep abreast of happenings at our Durbanville farm restaurant.


We believe our restaurant will soon be considered one of the best wine farm restaurants in Durbanville. Visit us to see why….and spread the word!


And don’t forget to stop at our tasting room before you leave – to stock up on some of our award-winning wines, of course.
