Food
Whether it’s breakfast or lunch, there’s always something to get excited about in this beautiful venue. The eggs Benedict alone is worth the drive! Midday options are substantial and the open sandwiches (try the roasted peppers and brinjal) would satisfy a trencherman. Offerings such as deboned quail with a smoked feta and yoghurt sauce show assured touches in the kitchen. And the desserts and cheese platters are superb.

Wine
Vrede en Lust wines feature largely. Nice by-the-glass offerings. Se rvice Cheerful and attentive. Waiters are happy to explain dishes and help with recommendations.

Ambience
The floor-to-ceiling glass doors are magnificent. White, monochromatic and contemporary, the focus is on the adjacent vineyards and mountains.

And...
Don’t leave without browsing the deli. (FM)
