Lovely food, great sunset views, wonderful wine selection and chef is really good. Make sure you go there before the sunsets, get drink and go downstairs while they prepare your table. Sunset views alone are worth the trip. Food is great, there's care in how they prep dishes.

Great wine, beautiful views and special restaurant
Breath taking views, great wine, lovely ambiance and a restaurant with some of the best food in Franchhoek / Stellenbosch area. The main restaurant is a little pricy, but if you can afford it, it's worth every cent.
