The new Stellenbosch Kitchen restaurant, located in the historic centre of Stellenbosch, operates in a National Monument building that previously housed the very popular Jan Cats Restaurant & Ladies Bar, established in 1987.
Stellenbosch Kitchen and its underlying property are owned by Andre and Helena Pieterse, who also own the 5-star Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel & Spa and the highly regarded Helenas Restaurant at 33 Church Street in Stellenbosch.

Our dishes are adapted from classics found around the world. We source most of our produce within 50km of Stellenbosch and we liaise closely with our suppliers to procure only the freshest seasonal ingredients.

    It was as I expected it to be, delicious! I usually stay at Stellenbosch Hotel so I know what the breakfast entails but this time we came through specially just for breakfast. Meal and service was excellent (Jaylin attended to us) ~ we'll definitely be back again

    The Kitchen's wine is way too expensive. Take your own wine and pay the moderate corkage.

    Stellenbosch Kitchen responded on Mon 20 Apr 26:
    Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent visit. We would like to reassure you that our wine pricing is carefully structured to remain competitive with other establishments in the Stellenbosch area. We strive to offer a selection that reflects both quality and fair value relative to the local market. That being said, we are glad you found our corkage fee to be a reasonable alternative, as we always want our guests to feel they have flexible options when dining with us. We hope to welcome you back to the Kitchen soon. Kind regards, Tessa, General Manager
