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.

    Shared the cauliflower sesame nuggets (excellent) and the tomahawk ribeye which was cooked to perfection. Great ambience in the room.

    A very disappointing experience with poor food choice and quality, tired furnishings and unobservant staff . This was definitely not a five star experience. They were only 14 people in the eating area so it was not as though staff were rushed off their feet and had no time to care for the patrons.

    One of the top 10 meals I have ever had. The meat melted in your mouth and was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. What a view - inside and outside.

    We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon at the Taphuis. It was a gorgeous late autumn afternoon on the terrace, drinking Rose and eating an amazing array of tapas. The service was attentive without being overbearing and the overall vibe was fantastic. The only letdown was the desert. It was still nice but after the other dishes, it was a little disjointed.
