Spek & Bone is located at a historic site next to the original Stellenbosch market, behind Oom Samie se winkel. This small plates eatery and wine bar is a real hidden gem, tucked away just off Dorp Street. The name is inspired by Bertus’ and his wife, Mareli’s, pets. “The restaurant is named after our pig and our puppy, Spek and Bone, who are (surprisingly) best friends and truly inseparable”, explains Bertus. The pets were named after the classic food combination of pork and beans. The authentic simplicity of the restaurant can be summed up in the Afrikaans saying ‘Om vir spek en boontjies te werk’ meaning to work for ordinary food, not for money.

We invite guests to join us under the oldest fruit-producing vine in Stellenbosch (how fitting!) and for a curated tapas menu with big, bold flavours, best shared with friends and paired with specially selected South African wines. The Bassons find great joy in fantastic food, great wine and an incredible playlist, and you’ll find all of these at Spek & Bone.

    Het was geweldig, een heel fijn tapas restaurant. Met heerlijke verschillende gerechten. De gerechten waren best groot dus met 3 gerechten heb je al goed gedaan. De bediening vertelde bij elk gerechtje iets er over. Zeker een aanrader
