On the historic Buitenverwachting wine estate in Constantia beyond offers so much more than vineyard views. The restaurant decor is modern and contemporary; the cuisine is elevated simplicity with an impressive swathe of sophistication.
In addition to strong support of local suppliers, premium produce is proudly displayed on every plate. But it’s more than that, here there is unrivalled respect for the ingredient, so much so that there is a drive to discover unknown, heritage fare that dates back centuries. Globally lauded chef Peter Tempelhoff cemented this restaurant as one to watch, and his head chef Sebastian Stehr exudes equal exploratory flair. Every dish on the menu has a story and meaning. The chef team are delving back into history to discover foraged ingredients that are not only delicious, but also nutritious.
Close your eyes as your beautifully plated dish is served, open them and you will immediately know what season we’re in. Choose from the enticing a la carte menu, or indulge in the beyond tasting experience for dinner, with wine pairing. Mains dishes continue to represent authenticity. You can supplement your beef main course with Ken Forresters’ free-range, natural Wagyu beef, exclusive to beyond and FYN. Don’t leave before dessert…all are delectable.
Here is a setting, restaurant and cuisine that is unpretentious, uncontrived but always beyond
expectations. The wine offering, not confined to the estate, shows the true talent of Jennifer
Hugé, whose immense knowledge and disarming service is exemplary, making the gastronomic odyssey an informative one too.
