Cavalli Winter Special: R590 for 2 courses

Floor-to-ceiling windows giving views over a dam and sculpture-studded fynbos gardens to the Stellenbosch mountains make Cavalli a wonderful destination at which to enjoy an à la carte winter meal. The terrace is the place to be on a sunny day, or ask for a table by fire on a chilly evening, as you choose from chef Lucas Carstens’ seasonally driven menu. His signature style is uncompromisingly “green”, featuring produce foraged from the estate’s gardens and sourced from local farms to create perfection on a plate. Picture cured langoustine with butternut and thyme; sunchoke with black garlic and ginger; wagyu brisket with carrot and horseradish; or risotto verde with burrata and lemon, among other deliciously fresh flavours. Snacks and a bread course precede your meal.
Good to know Afterwards take a wander down to the gallery to feast your eyes on the latest exhibition of South African art.

Egghead Dinner Special: R225 for 3 Courses

Everyone knows this funky retro diner on Kloof Street for its famous egg rolls and all-day breakfasts, but Egghead’s fabulous winter dinner special reveals a mellow evening mood of cocktails and comfort food (storming smash burgers, too), low light, flickering candles and a sultry vibe. The cosy space with high banquettes, bar seating and intimate booths along the side, invites you to explore a deliciously short menu of old-school classics: mac ’n cheese balls; buffalo hot wings; fish and chips; bangers and mash; burgers; or lush ham and mushroom tagliatelle. It’s perfect for casual catch-ups with friends or relaxed date nights, and finishes on a sweet high with salted-caramel popcorn cheesecake or crème brûlée.
The special R225 for 3 courses
When Daily, from 5pm – 10pm

The Pot Luck Club Sunday Brunch Extravaganza: R1 390 for 10 Courses

Sunday brunches at The Pot Luck Club are the stuff of legend. Bottomless bubbly, DIY Bloody Marys, live music and a long lingering afternoon savouring dish after dish of chef Jason Kosmos and Luke Dale Roberts’ punchy flavours. Ten sharing courses kick off with simple smoked oysters with passion fruit nước chấm, then a delicate prawn taco. Move on to brioche with quail egg, porcini hollandaise and mushroom duxelles. And a bold venison tartare with raison and hazelnut XO. The Pot Luck’s interpretation of the classic Arnold Bennett is another highlight, and you’ve still got carrot risotto with pistachio pesto, and roast duck to come. A sticky rice pudding with tropical fruit and a selection of PLC sweets are the final high note of a Sunday brunch extravaganza to remember.
