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!

    Irgendwie muss gutes Essen auch verdient werden, auch wenn nur der Weg etwas beschwerlicher ist

    Kobus as our waiter was divine. His service was out of this world. His knowledge of menu & winelist was very good. His recommendations was great. He made our visit every cent worth. He gave us a very pleasant experience. We took our guests from The Netherlands for lunch, what a great experience it was.

    Incredibly disappointing We arrived (note that its quite a long drive on gravel toad to get there) No one there to greet/welcome us, direct us to the restaurant at all There was a small xmas function on the go which we didnt want to walk into in order to ask for service as they were busy with speeches as we arrived, No other staff were around to assist It started raining - we’d been standing around for about 15-20mins by then We were soaked and decided to get in the car and leave. We were so looking forward to it and it came highly recommended. Unfortunately drove out a ton of petrol for nothing… so I dont think we’ll return for a visit.

    Wonderful location, view, service and excellent wines! Starters and desert sumptuous, but mains less inspiring with pork belly bit tough and yes, dry Chicken gordon blue very small and yes, overcooked. Accompaniments (veg, sauces) excellent. We will explore the other mains next time, because CAPAIA and Mariella's is definitely worth the drive!
