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 absolutely loved our experience at Beyond Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, everything about the luncheon felt special. The atmosphere, attention to detail, and the quality of the food were truly exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into creating a memorable dining experience. Unfortunately, a small part of the meal was slightly dampened by a very loud patron nearby whose constant cackling laughter carried across the dining room. While this was a little distracting in what is otherwise such a refined and elegant environment, it is of course something that is largely beyond the restaurant’s control. Despite this minor interruption, the experience was outstanding and we would absolutely return. Beyond Restaurant delivers a wonderful fine dining experience and is well worth visiting for anyone who appreciates thoughtful cuisine and a beautiful setting.
