Cavallis Everyday Gourmet menu is all about celebrating real food that nourishes and excites.

Putting a contemporary, inventive spin on classic dishes, we grow our own seasonal herbs and have many vegetable varieties grown from seed and cuttings. As the first Green-star rated restaurant in South Africa, we treasure the beauty of our natural heritage.

We simply believe in eating delicious, fresh, whole foods prepared in a way that honours the seasons. We want our food to be the kind that people enjoy not just once but again and again, the type of food that people come back for.

    We have been to lots of wine farm restaurants in the area and Cavalli is really a place we would not go back. Really bland and flavourless food. The bathroom was also dirty with clogged toilets. I would not recommend it to anyone. Our waitress was really nice and the wine was good but that was it.

    Mind-Blowing Experience at Cavalli Cavalli truly exceeded expectations! Highlights included: - Tomahawk: Perfectly cooked to medium rare, paired with an incredible sauce. - Langoustine: Delicious and impressive start to the meal. - Wagyu starter was Incredible, tender, and flavorful. However, the lamb could be improved – it was slightly overcooked. Despite this minor flaw, the overall experience was exceptional. Cavalli's attention to detail and commitment to quality shine through in their dishes.

    Was a good few flies in the restaurant but I'd imagine that's largely due to the farm being a stud farm/ stable
