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.

    No coat hanging facility, and umbrella depositing not available. Just thrown into a corner.For a restaurant of this category I expect a warm welcome, the guest arrival should be better organized.

    A very disappointing experience. Despite being literally decades-long, loyal fans of Buitenverwachting and coming to Beyond regularly since it opened, it will be difficult to return. No attention to detail, the food was average at best, the service was atrocious (no one refilled our water for the entire meal, until we had to fetch the bottles out of the ice bucket and help ourselves), just a lacklustre experience that marginally ruined my birthday. It feels like a place that has lost its soul and is devoid of any passion, pursuit of excellence or innovation. Very sad.
