The Kraal Restaurant at Joostenberg Wine Estate, is a laid back, farm restaurant, serving slow, seasonal set menu three course lunches and organic estate wines. Tables are set between fruit and olive trees in the shaded, stone walled courtyard in summer, and inside the cosy, rustic wagenhuis in winter. Allow some time to enjoy a relaxed, informative tasting of our wines and to stroll through the werf garden and admire the authentic, original Cape Dutch architecture.

We offer several unique food, farm and wine themed events through the year. Go to The Kraal Events to see more.

    If my grandma is South African who loves me the most in the world, she would definitely cook something like this. I could taste all the warm hearts from the growers and the front teams. Everything was genuinely great. Food is focused to good ingredients and the service was perfectly balanced. I even love small strawberries and pink radishes growing next to my table. Everything was so considerate. If you are living in a city, this is the place you need to visit month during summer months.

    We were a large group (30 people) that had booked the light lunch. The food was simple and wholesome. The home baked bread was delicious, and the mozzarella was amazing with olive tapenade.

    Delicious food and a great setting made for a wonderful lunch celebration for my Father in law’s 75th birthday. Thank you for the great experience!
