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.

    We celebrated two anniversaries at Beyond and we had a lovely joyous experience. We have enjoyed your restaurant since 1982 and it is still a very special cape farm venue Thanks to all the friendly staff Johan Ingwersen

    Service was EXCELLENT. Perfectly timed and orchestrated, fully attentive without being interrupting. The goats cheese was NEXT LEVEL fantastic! The fish main incredible. The peach mouse beautifully balanced. I preferred the coasts cheese over the snoek, the fish over the lamb and the peach mouse and its ludicrously beautiful base over the cheesecake. And we had the Wagyu to share - beautifully grilled. Service 10/10 and wines so beautiful. We will be back again; brought friends for the first time and they were blown away.
