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.

    The servers were generally rude and forgetful. So much so that one of them violently bumped my chair and couldn't even apologize. Furthermore. I had requested when I made the booking that a birthday plate be made as I was there celebrating the birthday of someone special. But it was not done. In terms of food, the basil pesto pasta was bang average. The chicken tasted boiled and overcooked and there was very little sauce in the bowl. I had to ask twice for salt and pepper because for some reason the waiter kept forgetting. I wont be coming back here again. There are plenty of better wine farms to visit and to give my business to.

    I found the sharing plates not as delicious as described and the waterblommetjie arancini balls so mean - there were three of us and they gave us two tiny ones in a pasty coconut sauce. The pork belly was tough. The burger was OK but so huge it was off-putting. The service was good and smiley and cheerful and fun. No complaints there. We were seated at a table that still was half laid. I wouldn't have minded that at all had the food been good - but it wasn't. I felt it lacked care.
