The new Stellenbosch Kitchen restaurant, located in the historic centre of Stellenbosch, operates in a National Monument building that previously housed the very popular Jan Cats Restaurant & Ladies Bar, established in 1987.
Stellenbosch Kitchen and its underlying property are owned by Andre and Helena Pieterse, who also own the 5-star Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel & Spa and the highly regarded Helenas Restaurant at 33 Church Street in Stellenbosch.

Our dishes are adapted from classics found around the world. We source most of our produce within 50km of Stellenbosch and we liaise closely with our suppliers to procure only the freshest seasonal ingredients.

    A beautiful meal for our daughter’s birthday. The food was stunning, , it was hard to decide what to eat with so many great choices. Our waitress Kudzai was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and fantastic at her job. An all around great experience thank you.

    Unfortunately the standard of your fish n chips has gone down considerably. This is a pity because it’s one of the main reasons we come to eat with you. The fish pieces were tasteless and so was the batter. We also noted the reduction in portion size.

    Stellenbosch Kitchen responded on Tue 25 Mar 25:
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience with our fish and chips. We sincerely apologize that the standard did not meet your expectations, and we understand your disappointment. We value your patronage and are concerned to hear that the fish and batter were tasteless and that the portion size was reduced. We are taking your comments seriously and will be addressing them with our kitchen staff immediately to ensure that we maintain the high quality and consistency our customers expect. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, as it allows us to improve. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the excellent dining experience you have come to expect from us. Kindest regards Tessa de Necker, General Manager
