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 booked via email and booked because of the winter menu special, but wasn't told it is not available on Sundays. We waited 2 hours for our main meal. Waiter didn't fill up our wine when it was empty, we had to ask him to do it. The food was tasty, but the beans was still hard with the lamb meal. It was cold in the restaurant and the ambience and lighting wasn't great. Beautiful restaurant, and location. Overall ok, but not worth the money.

    Fantastic food and exceptional wines. Must make mention of our amazing waiter Lyle. His knowledge of the wines and food and his presentation thereof made our evening even more magical. Highly recommend this establishment!
