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.

    What a phenomenal dining experience! Excellent and attentive service from Jarryd, Kayla & Teagan and the sommelier, Donovan, was top class. The Chefs’ dishes were outstanding! Lovely ambience too. Thank you to the rest of the team for the warm reception and the effort made to elevate our experience and to make us feel at home.
