De Eetkamer is a small plates restaurant located in a beautifully renovated historic building in Stellenbosch, shared with an art gallery and library space. The concept centres around relaxed, communal dining, with dishes designed for sharing and exploring a variety of global flavours in one sitting.

The menu changes seasonally and draws inspiration from international cuisines, including Japanese, Korean, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences. Expect flavour-driven small plates such as Korean fried cauliflower, gnocchi, fresh seafood, and inventive vegetable dishes, alongside thoughtful desserts. The emphasis is on honest cooking, bold flavours, and a social dining experience rather than formal fine dining.

With its warm, informal atmosphere and focus on shared meals, De Eetkamer suits long lunches, relaxed dinners, and group dining. It offers a vibrant yet approachable experience in the heart of Stellenbosch, where food is designed to be enjoyed together.

    Great to be back again: the food is just 100%. Loved all the different flavor bombs and asian style dishes. The staff is super friendly and professional, but not stiff or over-explaining about the food. Only thing is that the 2-seaters are too close to each other, so you constantly have the feeling that you're in your neighbors space. That could be improved to give it a more relaxed and intimate feeling. We now left before dessert/coffe,e because we didn't have the feeling we could 'lounge' after our meal.

    I have only been for lunch before and have always loved the food. We had most of the dishes and were excellent. The butternut and the cauliflower my personal favourites. Nice vibe with great service in the evening. Definite recommend.

    Overall positive experience, and delicious food. My only real criticism would be that it is a bit squished. think there are a few too many tables in the space.

    Food was great. Only complaint is the adding of the discretionary service charge of 12.5%. We were table of 4 and as the service charge was discretionary the waiter “judged a book by its cover “ and added the 12.5% - big mistake! I always tip a minimum of 30% and the fact he thought he had to bank his 12.5% as he clearly thought we wouldn’t tip was to his determinant - he lost out!! I don’t enjoy being judged!!
