TAPHUIS

The succession of ownership through the eras has layered the Estate’s rich history, and present day Lanzerac honours the rich and vast legacy by telling the stories of its past. Created during the Rawdon era, the Taphuis Bar is a place where guests have created many memories. The treacle brown bar has been welcoming thirsty travellers since the 1960’s, and although damaged in the 2017 fire, it has undergone extensive repairs to retain its original feel, with some of the elements that were salvaged from the flames being reused alongside new additions. The Taphuis’ country-inspired décor is rich in texture with rough stone walls, brick floors and exposed wooden ceilings

The gourmet pub-style menu offers sharing plates and light meals in a relaxed environment overflowing with beautiful country charm. The menu boasts homegrown food sourced from local farmers and suppliers, prepared with creativity and originality by the resident team of chefs. Dining options are either indoors set against an impressive handcrafted bar and large roaring fireplace, or outdoors on the shady terrace complete with garden views.

Not open for breakfast

Open daily from 12pm.

For your safety and ours, Lanzerac is a cashless operation.

    Disappointing - tuna and tomato salad came with avocado you could not cut as so rubbery! I had to send it back, it was returned - same salad but with new avocado added - bits of old one still in dish! My husband’s potato fondant under cooked and hard! Really expected better! Shame as wonderful setting!

    Lanzerac Taphuis responded on Tue 18 Feb 25:
    We were so grateful to find a spot at the taphuis and the venue and ambience is one of the most beautiful in stellenbosch, however the menu online is not the same as the one in the restaurant. We received our starters before the complementary bread and our wine was only put into an ice bucket halfway through our bottle. We ordered the wagu burgers ( the one with avo and bacon) which the order got a mixed up and was apologized for, but we didn’t mind because we got to walk around while we waited. The avocado on the burgers was hard and rubbery, if we knew the it would be hard we would have not ordered it and gotten something else. We understand it was valentines and probably a busy evening so we hope to go back again.
