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.

    Overall, a very good experience, however there is no natural ventilation, and the air conditioners were not on either. It was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant and its only Spring. I cannot imagine how summer will be in there.

    Incredible restaurant! Everything was perfect. We did the tasting menu with flight of wine. Amazing experience for our 10 year anniversary meal. Thank you Beyond! We look forward to the next time.

    I can honestly say that I will not go back to BEYOND or recommend it to anybody else. We were very disappointed in the food - considering the price you pay. Mains and dessert especially were not up to standard. I don't expect chocolate fondant for dessert at an establishment like that. I walked out very disappointed. The service was excellent (there were only 2 tables for lunch).
