The restaurant is decorated in an eclectic mix of old and new and has a warm inviting atmosphere. The sun drenched terrace with its vine draped pagodas, has spectacular views of the paddocks, vines and Table Mountain and is popular in summer. In winter a cozy fire and underfloor heating welcomes our guests.

The a la carte menu offers a mouthwatering selection. Indulge your senses with a hearty breakfast selection enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. Champagne breakfasts are ever popular. The lunch menu, bursting with flavor, boasts specialties such as the duck with a piquant Van der Hum sauce, matured Fillet of Beef and Norwegian Salmon with a Dill and Cucumber diamond cream. We also cater for Vegan and Vegetarian diners.

Lighter options put emphasis on organic and local produce, where salads and quiches appeal to the health-conscious. Delectable desserts including a gluten-free bake of the day, will linger in the mind long after the meal especially if savoured with the farm’s 10-year pot stilled brandy or the Above Royalty Liqueur Wine.

    Not what it used to be. Bobotie dry. Oldest red wine on offer is a 2021. Just not acceptable for a restaurant on a wine farm

    The food was just ok - the sole was quite bland and the pork belly needed a lot more time in the oven. For the price we paid we’d have wanted a higher standard. But the service was very good and the staff are lovely and friendly

    For many years we would come to Avontuur to enjoy their signature dish "Roasted Duck , today however, it was a disappointment. It was old, dry and tough and as much as I tried to finish it I gave up half through the meal and left it on the plate. The starter " Wild Mushrooms" was again delicious, the desert " Chocolate Panna Cotta" was also very tasty, perhaps a little too firm.
