El Picoteo at Rhebokskloof

Under the leadership of Marco de Matos and Susana Vaz, El Picoteo brings the vibrant flavours, rich traditions, and warm hospitality of Spain to our beautiful estate in Paarl—where every guest is treated like family. Marco and Susana’s culinary journey is as rich as the dishes they create. From Marco’s rise through the hospitality industry to their shared venture opening a restaurant in Santiago de Compostela, their passion for Spanish cuisine now finds a home in South Africa. At El Picoteo, you’ll discover Spanish-inspired tapas, fusion pintxos, and family-friendly dishes with a nod to the flavours of Galicia. South African roots meet Spanish flair for a warm, inviting, and unforgettable dining experience.
