Come and relax with family and friends and enjoy mouth-watering food at Mariella’s overlooking the beautiful rolling hills of the Swartland. Your children can play on the lawn and jungle gym while you sit back and unwind on the deck. The menu, prepared by Head Chef Brendan du Preez, is simple and unpretentious, yet sophisticated, and offers both lunch and dinner.

Head Chef Brendan du Preez trained at the innovative CTIA Stellenbosch where he did his City and Guilts diploma in Culinary Arts as well as an advanced diploma. His first experience of exquisite fine dining cuisine was under renowned Chef Martin de Kock, after which he received the opportunity to gain experience at Mariella’s Restaurant. Here he broadened his international horizons and gained valuable knowledge in German cuisine under Chef Mark Hartlief for almost 2 years. His dishes incorporate tastes from East to West while desserts are reminiscent of true French indulgence!

    If the road leading in were fixed, especially if culverts were added for the large channels, that would greatly help more customers. It was an incredible pity to be the only ones dining at the time. Ambience would be 5 stars, but the lack of other guests meant it was eerily quiet. Music and a fireplace made a huge difference. We got engaged just before our dinner, and the staff and chef went all-out, with no prior notice. We will continue visiting as long as the restaurant continues.
