Gourmet Guide Description

At Delaire Graff Estate, the art of hospitality and culinary excellence is exemplified in the luxury lodges, spa, and both of its restaurants. In summer, bask in dappled sunshine on the terrace while taking in dramatic wineland views and prestigious wines. In winter, take time indoors to better appreciate the art and décor inspired by William Kentridge.

The menu is small but carefully considered, reflecting the estate’s bounty and South Africa’s indigenous produce such as spekboom, waterblommetjies, Karoo lamb, and venison. Expect a light touch with gallant ingredients, like the cappelletti, where subtle wild garlic and gossamer-thin pasta go hand-in-hand. The calamari and waterblommetjie starter is a delicate duo, gently enhanced by the pop of fresh peas. Main dishes, like the lamb, are abundant. Chef Clinton Jacobs infuses his love of unexpected textures into every aspect of the menu, with his chocolate chip cookie featuring a crisp of sushi rice as a prime example of how to make a sweet statement. The mindful, discreet waiting team is always ready to advise on which estate wine will best complement your meal.

    Stunning location. Staff were very attentive. Meal was very good but not exceptional. I suggest lunch would be a better choice so you can enjoy the stunning location.

    We had two times the cod and one time the venison with two sides dishes. All three got stomach problems and diarrhea. Needless to say that were all three very disappointed. We cancelled the booking we made in January next year.
