The Restaurant at Waterkloof 

Food:

A deep understanding of the art of cooking shows through some of the region’s finest dishes prepared by chef Grégory Czarnecki. Through optimum cooking, unique flavours and balanced textures, he delivers sumptuous quail served with bourbon marmalade; cob with chestnut gnocchi; and a sublime oxtail ravioli with toasted pistachios.

Wine:

The concept values wine as much as it does food. Waterkloof wines, available by the glass, are recommended with the food.

Service:

Pleasant, professional service ensures that every simple meal is an enjoyable and memorable one.

Ambience:

Multiple volume and wrap-around windows enhance the elegance of the monolith on a hill, which overlooks vine-covered mountains and the sea. Added features are the glass-fronted kitchen and large artworks.

And...:

Enjoy a glass of bubbly at the intriguing fireplace in the retro lounge. (M&CR, October 2011)

A culinary experience indeed! Beautiful plate construction - colour, textures and flavours - a definite blend of art and food science. I haven't started on the venue's view and location - breathtakingly stunning! A wonderful evening to be remembered. A small point to note: very structured and inflexible menu, and strict kitchen rules - you cannot order anything outside of the wine pairing menu, and it does not cater for vegetarians. That was a bit of a pity, but understood in terms of the complexity of the various dishes. Food service from Moffett.

We recently had lunch at Waterkloof. We took our 10 month old daughter along and the staff were very accommodating. The food was very inventive with hot and cold combinations on two of our dishes. A very pleasant experience.

After my first bad experience eating at Waterkloof soon after they opened, I vowed never to go back, but this weekend saw me winding my way up the hill again to see if things have changed. And oh yes, they have. Beautifully presented food, slightly bigger portions so that you do not have to stop at MacDonalds on the way home if you had a starter, main course and desert, excellent service, seasonal menu that makes you salivate when you read it, attentive but not overbearing service, beautiful amuse bouche and a pre-dessert dessert. Subtle sauces, although the jus with the quail was a bit salty. Can't wait to go back for the "degust" menu some time. Excellent.
