Food
Home-style country food has never looked so chic or tasted so good. The menu is determined by the region and the seasons. Summer starters could include a cool tomato mousse serve with roasted baby tomatoes, olives, fresh basil and crusty bread, or homegrown artichokes drizzled with garlic-redolent aioli. Winter sees a parsley soup, gorgonzola soufflé or red wine-braised oxtail with buttery mash.

Wine
A small selection of SA wines with several by-the-glass options.

Service
Family style, friendly and very well informed.

Ambience
Wholesome earthy flavours and atmosphere at its best.

And...
Mariana knows the art of honest, seasonal soul food – all from her own colourful garden with its intermingled proliferation of flowers, herbs, salad greens and outside seating under an old fig tree and a very old vine. (MvE)
