    Absolutely loved it. The food was amazing, really more than I expected. Loved how the menu items were put together. Would leave the cheese course of the menu.

    Our experience at The Terrarium was truly outstanding, and I can't recommend it enough. The service, wine, food, ambience, and attention to detail were all exceptional, ensuring a feeling of being pampered and well cared for. What makes The Terrarium truly special is the personal touch of Chef Chris Erasmus and Anlou Erasmus. Their commitment to sourcing sustainable food and their unique blend of old-school and silver fine dining, combined with impeccable service, create an unforgettable dining experience.
