From the start, in May 1996 it has been our goal to delight each guest with a superb dining experience in our warm, relaxing venue set in the heart of the glorious HELDERBERG countryside. We use only fresh, often organic and where possible local ingredients to prepare our dishes.

They are inspired by SOUTH AFRICAN favourites and flavours from around the world. The fresh seasonal and inspirational menu changes almost every day, the main menu four times a year.

Founded by ex-Johannesburg restaurateur Ken Forrester, Devon Valley wine maker Martin Meinert and Chef Kathy Romer- Lee, the opening was preceded by lengthy debates in Kens kitchen about the butternut colour of the interior and the name - Butternut? Wine plays a major role in the partners lives and many of the local winegrowers are regular patrons.

    We (8 of us) all loved the ambiance and what we ordered for dinner. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful ending to our stay in Cape Town

    We loved this dining experience. The food was really good. We had the bobotie, the line fish and the pork belly and it was really incredible. The venue was cosy and nice and warm on this cold rainy day. The service was very friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

    Always a treat to dine at this warm and cozy restaurant. We both had steak and it was grilled to perfection and top quality meat. Compliments on the winelist too. We'll be back!
