Savour Refined Contemporary Cuisine in a Breathtaking Setting

Enjoy a relaxed yet sophisticated culinary experience in our open-plan restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a terrace with panoramic views of Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains. Our menu celebrates bold, seasonal flavours with a contemporary twist—crafted to complement our award-winning portfolio of Ernie Els wines.

Lunch is available 7 days a week.
Dinner is available on Thursday, Friday & Saturday Evenings, November – May annually.

For a more casual setting, guests are also invited to enjoy select dishes from our Grillworks menu available exclusively in the Tasting Room. Designed to pair beautifully with the Ernie Els wines, these dishes offer a flavour-forward, leisurely alternative in an equally scenic and welcoming space.

Tasting Room Reservations are only required for 8+ guests.

    We’ve been going and supporting the Ernie Els brand since the very start. Each time we visit, it’s a highlight and a memorable occasion. Well done to the entire team - we are proudly Stellenbosch!

    We had waited a long time to experience the much vaunted Ernie Els evening but were sorely disappointed. Great pity but won't be returning as there are so many better options in our beautiful area. Service was not attentive; we had to ask for waiter then ask for water 3x's, the waiter asked us to show him which wine we asked for on the menu showing his lack of knowledge of the menu. The food was overbearing with pepper and the fish over cooked lacking oversight and quality control. At no point were not asked if we were happy or how our evening was going. Such a pity, seems to be missing basic management oversight and quality control.
