TAPHUIS

The succession of ownership through the eras has layered the Estate’s rich history, and present day Lanzerac honours the rich and vast legacy by telling the stories of its past. Created during the Rawdon era, the Taphuis Bar is a place where guests have created many memories. The treacle brown bar has been welcoming thirsty travellers since the 1960’s, and although damaged in the 2017 fire, it has undergone extensive repairs to retain its original feel, with some of the elements that were salvaged from the flames being reused alongside new additions. The Taphuis’ country-inspired décor is rich in texture with rough stone walls, brick floors and exposed wooden ceilings

The gourmet pub-style menu offers sharing plates and light meals in a relaxed environment overflowing with beautiful country charm. The menu boasts homegrown food sourced from local farmers and suppliers, prepared with creativity and originality by the resident team of chefs. Dining options are either indoors set against an impressive handcrafted bar and large roaring fireplace, or outdoors on the shady terrace complete with garden views.

Not open for breakfast

Open daily from 12pm.

For your safety and ours, Lanzerac is a cashless operation.

    We absolutely loved our lunch experience at Lanzerac. Quality food, great ambiance and good service at the Taphuis. We were super lucky with good weather in November. I would highly reccomend. Thier wines are always amazing.

    Wow, we were so disappointed. We paid R3000 plus for a bad experience. 1. One meal was cold and my daughter could not eat it, we actually all tried but it was disgusting. It was suppose to be a burger, hard cold fries and a cold burger. She felt ill after two bites and did not order anything else. They took it off the bill but never apologised. That is the reason for the food score of 2. All the other food was a 4. Shame, my daughter was so hungry, I think they could have offered her something to take home. 2. The service was pathetic. We waited more than 20 minutes for our second bottle of wine, after our first one was completely finished. The waiter was super confused all the time. 3. There was three European men sitting next to us and the one man took his boots off and placed it on the chair next to my husband who almost passed out from the smell. That is the reason for the ambience score of 1. 4. Everything was overpriced. I will also make sure that this review is published on Google.

    I have eaten eaten at the Taphuis four times. One night was delicious but no 2,3 and 4 was not good. Mushy risotto, not made with good stock, burnt bobotie parcel, dry and tasteless salad etc. Lovely staff and good service.
