Our mission is to give our guests a place to celebrate life’s special moments by offering the best food, service, and ambiance.

Gourmet Guide™ Description

The setting at Buitenverwachting wine estate in Constantia is resplendent, but it’s the story behind the plate that sets this restaurant apart. Don’t be surprised if a new dish is offered for you to try; in the background, there is always innovative and exploratory cooking… Chefs Peter Tempelhoff and Sebastian Stehr are pioneers, and their current discovery is centred on ancient ingredients. The newly planted garden on the estate is set to bring a different dimension to the menu. A move from set menus to à la carte makes unforgettable lunches with a vineyard vista even more appealing, but their unique ‘Origins’ menu truly takes the cake.

Dishes are thought-provoking yet finely balanced. The pan-roasted Cape fish with aromatic dhal, saffron-coconut labneh, sultana and turmeric gel, mussel bhaji, fenugreek and coriander velouté is a prime example of how they marry responsible sourcing with sterling flavours to produce something memorable. The Thai chicken dumplings with nam prik pao, makrut lime oil, pan-seared prawn, snow pea and charred baby corn salad, and the most sublime coconut lemongrass broth exhibit the chef’s penchant for umami. The slow-cooked free-range pork with
ginger-sweet potato fondant, wilted mustard leaf, turnip and pear with an anise jus is one of those dishes that keeps everyone sated.

Heritage Month Coastal Collaboration

Join us in welcoming Eat Out Chef of the Year Johannes Richter of The LivingRoom at Summerhill for a one-night-only 7-course celebration. The LivingRoom, winner of the 2025 Eat Out Woolworths Green Star Award, is known for hyper-sustainable dining — from indigenous seasonal produce and ancient local grains to fire-based cooking with invasive wood and solar-powered operations. At beyond, Chef Sebastian Stehr shares this ethos, cultivating an indigenous garden on Buitenverwachting Wine Farm and earning the 2024 Gourmet Guide Green Plate award for sustainable fine dining, in association with WWF-SASSI. Together, theyll take you on a flavour journey from KwaZulu-Natals east coast to the Capes west coast. R2750 Per person (includes wine pairing and gratuity) Booking Essential

    We had a exceptional and memorable experience at Beyond - impeccable service from friendly and knowledgeable staff, delicious food and wine. Will return when back in Cape Town! It was a cold winter's night and the fire was roaring but as the restaurant wasn't very full, we were sitting next to the window which was a bit chilly. Otherwise an all in all wonderful night out. Thank you!

    On a very rainy day, the very extensive offering and many taste sensations provided to us a culinary expedition. Another burins fire place would have made it even grander!
