Located on Buitenverwachting Wine Estate in Constantia, Beyond is a sophisticated restaurant where provenance, seasonality, and the origins of flavour are the foundation. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Sebastian Stehr with guidance from FYN Group's chefs Peter Tempelhoff and Ashley Moss. The menu honours ingredients native to the Western Cape - sourced from the restaurant's indigenous garden, foraged from the nearby coast, and supplied by local producers - drawing on ancient ingredients, age-old traditions, and a deep connection to place and flavour.

The beverage programme follows the same philosophy. Wines from Buitenverwachting express the character of the estate's soils and vineyards, while the cocktail and non-alcoholic pairings incorporate indigenous ingredients alongside garden-grown herbs, house-made infusions, fermentations, and tinctures. The programme is led by FYN Group Sommelier and Beverage Director, Jennifer Hugé, recipient of the Eat Out Guide Patron Mixology Award.
The dining room looks out over the rolling vineyards through floor-to-ceiling windows, with the warmth of a fireplace lending an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.

Beyond currently holds two Eat Out stars, two JHP Gourmet Guide plates and is listed on The World's 50 Best Discovery. Lunch is available Tuesday to Sunday, dinner Tuesday to Saturday.

Guests are welcome to enjoy cocktails in the lounge area of the restaurant.

Gourmet Guide™ Description

The setting at Buitenverwachting wine estate in Constantia is resplendent, but it’s the story behind the plate that sets this restaurant apart. Don’t be surprised if a new dish is offered for you to try; in the background, there is always innovative and exploratory cooking… Chefs Peter Tempelhoff and Sebastian Stehr are pioneers, and their current discovery is centred on ancient ingredients. The newly planted garden on the estate is set to bring a different dimension to the menu. A move from set menus to à la carte makes unforgettable lunches with a vineyard vista even more appealing, but their unique ‘Origins’ menu truly takes the cake.

Dishes are thought-provoking yet finely balanced. The pan-roasted Cape fish with aromatic dhal, saffron-coconut labneh, sultana and turmeric gel, mussel bhaji, fenugreek and coriander velouté is a prime example of how they marry responsible sourcing with sterling flavours to produce something memorable. The Thai chicken dumplings with nam prik pao, makrut lime oil, pan-seared prawn, snow pea and charred baby corn salad, and the most sublime coconut lemongrass broth exhibit the chef’s penchant for umami. The slow-cooked free-range pork with ginger-sweet potato fondant, wilted mustard leaf, turnip and pear with an anise jus is one of those dishes that keeps everyone sated.

    5 Stars - The Perfect Day at Beyond We had the perfect day at Beyond. What an amazing experience from start to finish. The bread course was delicious, the pork belly starter was fantastic and the fish course was superb - the perfect start to the day. My wife had the cannelloni with cauliflower bechamel which was amazing, intense flavours and beautifully executed. I had the wagyu - it was incredibly rich for me personally and not my favourite dish of the day, but that is just personal preference. Overall, an amazing day and experience. Service, setting and creativity were all top class. We will definitely be back.

    The best way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I highly recommend a visit to Beyond. The view over the vineyard is always beautiful, especially from the warmth of the restaurant on a chilly winter’s day. Dined with a friend visiting South Africa for the first time, and Beyond set the bar very high. The Winter Special Menu was thoughtfully cuarted, showcasing fresh local ingredients with flair. The real highlight was the exceptional service, especially from Grant (the rest of the team were fab too!). He made us feel completely at home and offered excellent recommendations. We never felt rushed and really appreciated the team allowing us to linger a little longer than expected while we conversed. Had a lovely time and will definitely be back again soon.
