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.

    We had such a lovely experience at Stellenbosch Kitchen! The ambience is made perfect by the fireplace. For years they have consistently produced the best fish and chips we have had. The pizza is also divine and super good value for money.

    Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay with us and enjoyed the historic charm of our hotel. It is heartening to know that our staff made a positive impression and that you enjoyed the "scrumptious" offerings from our kitchen for both breakfast and dinner. I will be sure to share your compliments with the entire team. We look forward to welcoming you back to Stellenbosch in the future!
