We have eaten so well ( and so much) in South Africa that we decided to skip the tasting menu. However we were not disappointed with the a las carte. My salad with pecans was a little sweet but refreshing. The springok (venison) of the day was also good and there was a pretty good choice of wines by the... More

Lunch on the patio under the vines. Beautiful day and the food was delightful. Fine dining in a relaxed style. Waitress Justine was attentive and very pleasant.

We stayed at the hotel and normally don't prefer to dine at "hotel restaurants" but this was not typical. A lovely venue with friendly staff and a really good choice menu

We sat inside as the weather was rather cool and the wind was blowing. We chose the 5 course tasting menu with pairing of wines as it was our first evening at the hotel. We started with a refined Beetroot and onion tarte Tatin paired with a la Motte Sauvignon Blanc. We then followed with a crisp Salt & Pepper... More

Great, unhurried French dining. We had a wonderful five course lunch in their outdoor dining space at the end of December. The staff was great, even though they may have given us too much space... Occasionally hard to track down during our two hour meal. The food was delicious and well-portioned for a multi-course meal. They were able to accommodate... More

We had a fantastic experience. From the sparkling wine in the lounge next to the fire place to our table also next to a fire place. Everything is good. We had four starters, all good! Very good service, ambience, food and with good company - what more can you desire?

What a great find in a town we visit so often - unaware of this restaurant it was recommended by firends of us who live in the village. Food was really very good - a decent plate of food and very good value. Service friendly and not overbearing - only shortcomming was the lack of in-depth knowledge of their local... More

We had read some good reviews of this restaurant but were extremely disappointed by the quality of the food on offer which was definitely lacking in flavour. We tried the tasting menu which was in fact simply a selection of dishes from the main menu; more of a set menu than a tasting menu. Service was good and at least... More
