Direct translation of the Afrikaans saying
‘kruijdjie-roer-my-nie’
to English: ‘a state of not wanting to be bothered”.

Our kruijd lunch experiences, is a mindful feast that invites you to be fully present and aware of where you are and what you are doing. The space leads itself to not be overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

kruijd: from Dutch origin

Meaning “herb” or “spice”

OUR APPROACH ON THE FARM IS INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL AND ORGANIC RESOURCES PROVIDED BY THE LAND AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES

Days at kruijd start early, when the meadows hang in mist and the cool, dawn air fills with birdsong and the chirping of insects. As the sun rises over the aromatic fruit trees of the kruijd farm, we begin to harvest the herbs and spices that will end up in the kruijd kitchen, where morning preparations are already underway.

We invite you to sit down for an unbothered food experience, as we share our mindful meals with you.

    What an extraordinary unique experience! Stepping into a peaceful, tranquil setting, transforming you into another world, simplicity with the utmost class. Upon entry, you are transformed into a warm, cozy room. It feels like home yet upperclass. Fine dining to warm heartfelt food! They capture the African spirit with a European twist. An incredible journey with each small touch thoroughly thought through. You will be welcomed with gluhwein, a special hand wash ritual, warm roasted nuts, a power explosion cheese and a bread starter. A special African pancake was thrown in the bunch - from the owners' mouth... "it's raining" (a part of our South African culture. The main meal is an incredible, delectable, super tasty, and finely thought-through menu with your wine glass topped up as you wish. The cherry on top - baked cheesecake with "kondensmelk moerkoffie" . The friendly staff and owners swirl around everyone with the utmost care and laughter. An absolute jewel.

    A really special and beautifully curated event. We enjoyed fabulous weather too which made the whole day so much more spectacular. The setting is magnificent, the food was generous and wholesome and the wine pairing was also very well thought through and high quality. It's incredibly good value for money given the whole experience.

    Kruijd was an ethereal luncheon experience. From the parking area straight to the table, you are well taken care of. The service was top-tier; there is an attentiveness to the how each individual is doing in each moment and a warmness that is carried throughout the day. The food, drinks and herb tea were absolutely amazing. It is evident that each aspect has been meticulously planned; and this comes through in the curated menu, ambience, venue set-up, services and overall experience. Great way to spend a birthday.
