‘kruidjie-roer-my-nie’ luncheon

R2 650 per person includes a three-course meal and wine pairing. Artisanal beverages will also be available to purchase.

Direct translation of the Afrikaans saying
‘kruijdjie-roer-my-nie’
to English: ‘a state of not wanting to be bothered”.

Our kruijd lunch experiences, is a mindful feast that invites you to be fully present and aware of where you are and what you are doing. The space leads itself to not be overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

kruijd: from Dutch origin

Meaning “herb” or “spice”

OUR APPROACH ON THE FARM IS INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL AND ORGANIC RESOURCES PROVIDED BY THE LAND AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES

Days at kruijd start early, when the meadows hang in mist and the cool, dawn air fills with birdsong and the chirping of insects. As the sun rises over the aromatic fruit trees of the kruijd farm, we begin to harvest the herbs and spices that will end up in the kruijd kitchen, where morning preparations are already underway.

We invite you to sit down for an unbothered food experience, as we share our mindful meals with you.

Luncheon’s will take place once a month on a Sunday afternoon at 11:30.

Our space is a place where we invite you to submerge in the experience. To allow our guests to have a true kruijd experience, and be respectful of all our guests, we have a child policy of 10 years and older.

As we host a limited number of 32 guests per experience, the full cost is applicable and non-alcoholic beverages will also be made available.

We are delighted to announce that Kruijd now offers only 12 exclusive one-night stays each year. We call it our Middagslapie – a rare opportunity to step into the world of Kruijd for a single, unforgettable night.

Surrender to nature, welcome stillness, and rediscover the simple joy of slowing down.

    My husband and I dine out a lot, and have done so in many countries around the world, and Kruijd quite simply blew our minds. It is so chic, so elegant and so damn good. We are already booking again (and again, and again). Highly recommended.
