The 25 Best Restaurants in Stellenbosch
Next-level wining and dining in the city of oaks.
By Inside Guide • 10 December 2025
Renowned for its vineyard-dotted hillsides, Cape Dutch architecture, quirky galleries and boutiques, and some of the best local cuisine in the land, the city of oaks is a culinary destination in itself.
The relaxed pavement dining scene among historic buildings and majestic oak trees, fuelled by cafés, wine bars and a delicious sprinkling of restaurants, spoils you for choice – and that’s before you even head out to the wine farms. All of this, less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town.
These are our top picks of where to eat in and around Stellenbosch.
Rust en Vrede

There’s an enduring magic about dining at Rust en Vrede. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of champagne and the lightest of flavour-packed canapés, the old oaks and lawns leading to vines and a wooded mountain kloof conjure an away-from-it-all appeal. Without theatrical flourishes, chef Fabio Daniel serves a superb six-course tasting menu that marries the flavours of his Brazilian-Italian culinary heritage with local South African ingredients in harmonious chords of entrancing and unexpected flavours. Housed in the original 1785 cellar, it’s a delight from start to finish, with thoughtful wine pairings from sommelier Cameron Bishop (there’s an impressive international winelist), and seamless polished service that makes you feel immediately at home.
Good to know The restaurant is open in the evenings only for the memorable six-course tasting menu – or the “surprise” Experience Menu.
By day, a simple set-menu Winemaker’s Lunch is served in the tasting room or on the terrace.
Opening times Tuesday – Saturday, 6.30pm – 11pm

Hōseki at Delaire Graff

Chef Virgil Kahn heads this elegant Japanese dining experience at Delaire Graff wine estate, which epitomises the acme of Winelands dining: a feast of flavours, with a visual spread and views to match. Expertise, creativity and finesse combine with subtle aromatics and a symphony of fresh contemporary flavours in creatively re-imagined modern-Japanese small-plate five- or six-course omakase menus (with optional wine-pairings). Hōseki’s à la carte options range from prime wagyu steaks to far-from-ordinary tempura, superb sushi, ramen, tacos and robata grills – and a bento box selection. In addition to top-notch sourcing, chef Kahn uses fresh produce and Asian herbs grown on the estate, and draws on his work experience in the East, including at Michelin-starred Saint Pierre in Singapore, and at Nobu.
Opening times Daily, 12pm – 4pm (last seating 2pm), 6pm – 11pm (last seating 8pm)

Toevlug

Bertus Basson’s latest opening is a delightful family-friendly eatery in the beautiful, historic farmhouse at Annandale Wines, Willem and Louanne Briedenhann’s charmingly unspoilt heritage farm oasis. Here chef Drikus Brink has embraced the new challenge (after his superb sojourn at Clara’s Barn and Geuwels), harnessing his love for seasonal produce and flavour in a new menu driven by simplicity and produce-focussed cooking. On our first visit we fell in love with fresh, thoughtful flavours such as raw tuna con tomate; crispy artichokes with anchovy mayo; and beef fillet with confit garlic and a punchy Café de Paris butter. It’s the kind of heart-warming food you want to keep coming back for, and there’s an appealing kids menu too.
Good to know Familiér, the Annandale farm grocer shop, has moved across to the wine-tasting barn.

Cantina

A slice of San Sebastián in Stellenbosch is how chef David Schneider describes the newest member of the Chefs Warehouse family. An informal eatery reminiscent of pintxos bars in Spain, it’s centered around an eye-catching communal table with bright lemon tiles, with an evocative soundtrack that catches the Spanish vibe. A partnership with Le Grand Domaine, the global winelist is curated to match Basque-inspired tapas where Spain meets France. Think classic tortilla layered with potato and oozy manchego cheese, fire-grilled mushrooms with egg yolk, carne asada (fire-grilled beef) with chimichurri, grilled sardines on toast, gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns), bluefin tuna belly with artichokes, and much more – all served as easy-to-share eats. Comfortable banquettes with tables for two and pavement tables spilling onto Church Street are perfect for a quick bite with a glass of wine, a flavour-packed lunch, or convivial evenings spent working your way through a shared paella, or massive 700g ribeye. There are no reservations and there’s already a relaxed and lively (even loud!) vibe reminiscent of the early days of the original Chefs Warehouse.

Delivering nostalgia and the flavours of home with plenty of delightful flourishes, expect superb wine pairings and impeccable service all round.

De Eetkamer

Hidden away at the top of Dorp Street, this heritage building (formerly a stable) with an oak-shaded courtyard, now pays homage to heartwarming gatherings around the dinner table. (De Eetkamer translates simply as “The Dining Room”.) Here, chef-owner Marco Cardoso celebrates elegant, indulgent small-plate eating in an array of punchy global flavours without a hint of pretension – from the Korean-style fried cauliflower (a menu fixture he dare not remove) to pan-fried gnocchi with pomodoro, mozzarella and pancetta, and linefish tartare with fermented garlic honey and chili crunch. The short menu changes seasonally, the winelist features a fair number of unique labels, and the desserts are not to be missed.

Post & Pepper

A desire to offer a fine-dining experience with less frills and stuffiness led Jess van Dyk (formerly of La Colombe) to open a beautiful restaurant in Stellenbosch’s old post office. She serves reinvented South African classics infused with Asian influences in sharing plate style – “fun dining”, as Jess likes to call it! Post & Pepper’s utterly delicious seasonal menu revolves around small plates perfect for sharing. Think gamefish tataki with fermented pear, pork belly lollipops, or fried potato gnocchi with truffled pea velouté, to name just a few – all exquisitely plated.

Dusk

Step into the twilight zone… This shadowy, mysterious, opulent, dinner-only eatery is the “disruptor” project of chefs Callan Austin and Darren Badenhorst. Taking a deep-dive into “whole-process” zero-waste cooking, they’re pushing fine-dining boundaries to the max. Here, it’s not about the views but an immersion into – and the theatre of – multi-course tasting menus (Epicurean or Odyssey) focused on indigenous foods, foraging and fermentation. With ingredients that have often been days and months in the making, it’s quite unlike anything you’ve had before. The mind-bending task of perfect wine pairings – and the Pandora’s Box of mystery wines – is in the hands of sommelier George Young.
Good to know Also check out Nocturne, their cocktail bar-restaurant at the same address. And Dawn, a new customisable private dining space for up to 24 people.

The Fat Butcher

As the name implies, the Fat Butcher is all about the meat. A next-level steakhouse with a Stellenbosch vibe, it’s in a historic building in the centre of town with wooden floors, some leather booths and a shaded courtyard at the back. Pasture-reared, grain-finished beef comes in a wide choice of prime cuts (some dry-aged) and signature steaks. Your waiter will bring a selection (including some off-menu specialty cuts) to help in the decision-making process. Plus there are Dormer lamb ribs, shanks and rump, hearty burgers, porcini risotto, burrata and panzanella salad, and more. If you’re hungry, add a traditional starter such as the finger-licking delicious skaapstertjies (lamb tails), slow-braised beef cheeks, peri-peri livers, gravlax and steak tartare, as well as luscious salads and seafood for the less meat-inclined.
Good to know You can buy meat to take home from the in-store butchery.

Ernie Els Wines

Winding up and up the single-track road to Ernie Els Wines, you emerge on top of the world, high on the slopes of the Helderberg mountains, where the long terrace soaks up panoramic vine-drenched views towards Table Mountain, False Bay and Stellenbosch. After a wine-tasting of big-hearted reds (for which the estate is known), head through to the chic restaurant for a laidback lunch, where chef Eric Bulpitt explores comforting seasonal flavours in generous plates seasoned with a pinch of panache. Expect the likes of perfectly grilled Chalmar sirloin steaks, slow-cooked free-range pork belly, seared yellowfin tuna and sustainably caught linefish. And for dessert, Eric’s takes on apple crumble, or banana pain perdu, finish things off perfectly.
Good to know The Grillworks open-fire menu of Thai steak salad, halloumi and roast butternut, baked camembert and more to accompany a wine-tasting in the courtyard is another delicious and smoke-infused food option.

The Vine Bistro

Alongside the Glenelly wine cellar, looking across fynbos gardens and vine-clad slopes, The Vine Bistro is renowned for chef-patron Christophe Dehosse’s down-to-earth menus evoking the traditional French cooking of his home country. Here, he creates hearty modern bistro classics inspired by local ingredients in à la carte menus that change each week, accompanied by a superb winelist. Perhaps confit pork cheeks with apple, celery and wholegrain mustard; springbok loin with spinach, mushroom and Parisienne gnocchi; or a proper bouillabaisse with rouille and croutons. Finish with gorgeous desserts (the opera cake is divine) or an excellent artisanal cheese board. With its Parisian café tables, terrace seating and beautiful views, this is a true hidden gem.
Good to know The menu changes frequently during the year. Their Les Jeunes à Table set menu with wines is a not-to-be-missed special for under 30 year olds.

The Table at De Meye

It’s the stuff of dreams and the epitome of la dolce vita: a table under an oak tree laid with vintage crockery and a long, sybaritic lunch with people you love. This honest-to-goodness experience comes to life on the beautiful (yet under-the-radar) De Meye wine farm, where Leigh Williamson and Brendan Thorncroft offer a set three-course menu of refined, slow-cooked comfort food. It’s seasonal, hyper-local and delicious, with shared platters served along with freshly baked bread, homemade butter and delightful desserts. In winter the tables move inside the white-washed farmhouse and glass-walled conservatory, cosying up beside wood-burning stoves with views over the lawns.

The Jordan Restaurant with Marthinus Ferreira

The sublime setting at Jordan Wine Estate is maximised in its signature restaurant. Glass walls concertina right back so you really are immersed in the stunning views over the dam and serene valley, as you’re warmly welcomed with polished service and impeccable attention to detail. Chef Marthinus Ferreira has made the space his own, bringing his lightly nostalgic, classic European approach to the four-course lunch menu and evening tasting menus. A truly delightful bread and snack course kicks off the lunch experience, followed by classic dishes such as sesame-crusted tuna loin, and herb-crusted sirloin with roast celeriac and fondant potato. Side dishes aren’t really necessary (and are priced extra) but Marthinus’ roast potatoes are so good it’s hard to resist. And divinely pretty desserts round off the meal (with petits fours to follow, so save a corner for those).

The third-oldest farm in Stellenbosch and the first to commercially bottle pinotage, Lanzerac is a magnificent slice of history and Jonkershoek scenery, and a quintessential landmark. Under the helm of chef Stephan Fraser, the opulent Manor Kitchen offers a seven-course wine-paired dinner experience on Friday and Saturday evenings, daily à la carte dinners, sumptuous breakfasts and lavish à la carte Sunday lunches that continue the estate’s tradition as a place to mark family occasions in style.

As much a feast for the eyes as it is for the taste buds, this wine estate on the slopes of the Simonsberg has a prime position on the famous Helshoogte pass, with views of vines, olive groves and mountains from its slope-hugging, art-filled tasting lounge and restaurant. For lunch, it’s contemporary à la carte; by night, a tasting menu – all with excellent wines. Chef Carolize Coetzee deftly conjures “refined plaaskos” (farm food): imaginative plays of sweet/savoury and textural contrasts, using seasonal ingredients from the garden and local suppliers. Take a stroll after lunch – the sculpture garden is stunning, and there are short paths leading to a secret “selfie deck”.

Vuur

So much more than a braai (vuur means “fire” in Afrikaans), this convivial, cooked-over-coals dining experience (for private groups of up to 10 guests) at Remhoogte farm offers a seven-course chef’s-table lunch paired with the estate’s wines. With game grazing nearby, a long table is set under an oak tree next to the converted-stable kitchen (where there’s also indoor seating beside the fire). Declared the “best meat-centric experience” on the World’s Best Steak Restaurants list, it offers seafood and vegetable dishes too – all flame-caressed, including the bread and desserts. With different woods used for each course, chef Shaun Scrooby’s fire-cooking goes beyond the basics – smoking, steaming, flambéing, searing and elegantly plating each course.

Die Stoep at Vriesenhof

Walking down, through tumbling garden beds brimming with herbs and flowers, there’s a relaxed homestead feel as you arrive at Vriesenhof. The modest century-old thatched manor house at the top of Paradyskloof (near the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden) outside Stellenbosch is the former home of the late rugby and winemaking legend, Jan “Boland” Coetzee. Now the homestead has been sensitively converted to a tasting room and a restaurant, Die Stoep – where wide stoeps soak up views over oak trees, vineyards and mountains. It’s a place for relaxed lunches and convivial gatherings, shared plates cooked over open flames paired with the estate wines in time-honoured Vriesenhof tradition. A perfectly grilled steak or seared tuna, burrata with charred courgettes and salsa verde, a gorgeous steak tartare with fried capers, or a puffy-crusted sourdough pizza with thoughtful gourmet toppings… This is the sort of food you’d be happy to eat every day – fresh flavours, comforting nostalgia and frequent touches of fire playing with a sense of history and place.

Good to Gather at Rozendal

Rozendal serendipitously pivoted from a wine-producing farm to an artisanal vinegar producer when a visitor helped transform a flawed wine harvest back in 1988. Today, the vinegar cellar doubles as Good to Gather restaurant on weekends in winter – spilling into a tree-shaded courtyard in summer, with views of the picturesque farm (where alpacas, cows, a pig, two horses, and some chickens reside). For chef Jess Shepherd and husband Luke Grant, respect for produce is paramount and you’ll taste it in their three-course, sharing-style menus. It’s inventive, wholesome, bounteous and truly, deeply farm-to-table. Their legions of loyal fans (and the limited number of tables) means you need to book months in advance, but it’s well worth it.
Good to know Good to Gather also runs a tiny farm shop pantry to fill your baskets with fresh organic produce and goodies. You can message or email to be added to a waiting list in case of a cancellation.
