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.

    We had the most incredible experience at Beyond Restaurant! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing — the service, the ambiance, and especially the food, which was truly out of this world. A special thank you to Charl, who guided us perfectly through the drinks selection, and to our fantastic waiter, Dillan, who was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Overall, a memorable dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town — Beyond really lives up to its name! Its a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

    The experience was great. Just found the steak a bit tough and with some sinew. I would have though with such a samll piece of steak it should be perfect. We had the spring special. Michael
