Our mission is to give our guests a place to celebrate life’s special moments by offering the best food, service, and ambiance.

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.

    Such a beautiful location and setting. We were attending a farewell for a dear colleague leaving, we were greeted by the waiter who refused to bring us bread (as he needed the full table to arrive, some of our team mates were running late). The food was great, overall a 3/5 but the service was the biggest disappointment (1/5) due the following : We had to remind the waiter to fill up our water glasses, for a fine dining restaurant this is pathetic. The waiter would not allow us to leave seats open, he forced people to sit in specific seats for god knows what reason. He got my order wrong, and I had to ask him for the correct fish knife and when we were saying our farewell speeches we were rudely interrupted to leave the area because of the dinner reservation. We then went to the lounge, and nobody served us. Service ruined the afternoon. Would not recommend for any team lunches.
