Our menu features organic fruits and vegetables, pastured meats and eggs, local dairy, and stoneground flours—everything is thoughtfully chosen for its quality and sustainability. We work closely with local farms who share our commitment to producing food that's not only delicious, but good for you and the environment.

Our food is fresh, seasonal, and served in a relaxed, sharing style—perfect for everyone, from families with little ones to foodies of all ages. We’re proud to feature wines from Marianne Wine Estate, bringing you exceptional local wine to complement every meal.

    Tasmin went to such trouble to prepare a very truly spectacular meal for my raw vegan parents. I cannot recommend Melfort enough. This is my 4th visit. It is always wonderful.

    Amazing hidden gem outside Stellenbosch. Served the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. Definitely going back and bonus they have beautiful setting that’s kid friendly with a jungle gym
