There is a great buzz about this restaurant set in a vineyard overlooking beautifully lit gardens. We were very warmly greeted and shown to our table. The breads were really nice and when we mentioned this another plate arrived at our table. Our waiter was knowledgeable and professional: the food was excellent as were the wines. Constantia Utsig isn’t quite... More

A last minute decision to have lunch here on a rainy Sunday turned out to be an excellent one. The tomato tart starter and roasted veg with oranges were outstanding, for the main course our party of 4 chose the rack of lamb, seafood pasta, salmon & tuna carpachio and fillet, all of them were without fault. Desert was the... More

A well-established eatery set in the vineyards of Tokai, Uitsig blazes a trail of gourmet glory in terms of its reputation for good food at high prices. The interior is certainly tired and blowsy now, in need of metamorphosis, but the staff is friendly and there is certainly nothing pretentious or stuffy about the ambiance. A good wine selection, though... More

We visited for dinner while on our honeymoon and were absolutely delighted with this restaurant. Very pleasant staff and waiter (Graeme). Attentive but unobtrusive service. And the food was perfect in every respect, from starter right through to coffee.

After wine tasting we sat down outside and enjoyed the view. I ordered the bacon burger with fries. It was cooked to perfection. I must tell you it was one of the best hamburger sandwiches that I have ever had. And I have eaten many burgers in my life.

We are regulars to this restaurant, but have now been disappointed too many times in a row. Last night's service was pretty slack on all fronts. Two of us had finished our main course, before the 3rd person's steak (which had to be sent back as ordered medium and received as well done) finally arrived. Upon arrival we had to... More

A group of 18 of us went for lunch. They set tables up for us in the garden where we had drinks, canapés and put in our meal orders. We had a private room which we went to when the food was ready.. The service and food were exceptional. A number of people had the slow roasted Tuscan lamb, what... More

We were a party of 4, celebrating a nice evening and had a fantastic time at Uitsig. The food is absoutely delicious and the scenery was stunnig at dinner. We've been there a few times already with different friends, and always and everyone was happy. We will be back soon!
