The Garden Café is a charming little daytime destination that places artisanal bread front and centre, offering a menu of options fresh from the wood-fired oven. While you can take a loaf home, they also form the foundation for the seasonal menu that runs from lazy country breakfasts to light lunches. Of course, there’s a patisserie selection to end with something sweet. With tables indoors and al fresco, leading onto the estate’s manicured gardens, it’s an ideal choice for diners with young families in tow.
A more refined option is the new brasserie, L’Ami, which fuses French and South African flavours in a nod to the heritage of the valley. While the relaxed ambience and wide wrap-around terrace still ensure a family-friendly appeal, this is a destination where food gets a little more of the focus.
However, “This is not fancy, this is farm,” cautions the menu. “Honest fare. ‘Simple’ done spectacularly well.”
