Outside on the terrace or under the pergola, long wooden tables, a water feature and plants invite long lazy afternoons enjoying the picturesque views across the fynbos gardens and vineyards up towards the Simonsberg foothills.

    Had a great meal, with excellent wine. Service was very good, effective and unobtrusive. The restaurant is situated in beautiful surroundings An added bonus, as a collector of 16th to 19th Century glass the museum of glass was an added bonus

    I don’t enjoy it when all a Waiter or Waitress does is laugh when you ask them something ( all of the time )
