    The 4 stars this restaurant is getting from me is mainly for the venue. The setting is stunning! We sat right in the orange orchard and it was beautiful. It was quite disappointing though how mediocre the food was. We had the Orchard Platter, which was around R330. For that price we expected quality, but sadly the items were quite lacklustre. The Basil Pesto had no basil flavour, the prawn cocktail was tiny shrimps in a mayo sauce, and the rissoles and riblets were underwhelming. The roasted “peppers” was one tiny, laughable sliver of a pepper. The saving grace of the platter was the delicious ciabatta bread. So definitely a great spot to try out, I just hope that the food improves!

    This was a beautiful place. Well worth the drive out. The food was delicious and the drinks are done so well. Lovely for a couples getaway. Service was also just as good as the food and drinks. I'll definitely be back.

    The food was just average but extremely expensive for what you get. The menu is limited. The location is great, the decor is great but it’s cold somehow.

    Leaving the Cape and coming here was like a holiday. Without the rain this winter, but instead, the beautiful orange citrus color pop of the trees and green hills, accompanied by a Mediterranean feast full of fantastic food favorites made lunch a full fat happy five star experience. The take on an alternative food experience is what we never knew we needed and wanted. Thank you for creating this space. We will be back. | top quality food, service, and great drinks! Also the wine choices are special, like a wine local in Stellenbosch-special. **Well be back

    Delightful setting. Food is good but not as impressive as at Silver Orange Bistro which is a shame. Wonderful service. Stunning vibe.

    This has truly been an amazing experience. From the moment that you walk in, staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely mouthwatering. Its a great place for a romantic brunch. Situated between gorgious orange trees. The atmosphere was just great. Felt so relaxed.

    This place has the makings of a great weekend outing - a mini road trip, fantastic location with great scenery and a variety of drinks. I would highly recommend making a reservation. The service from staff was amazing. Although we waited a little while for our orders to be taken, the food and drinks arrived pretty quickly. We were seated outside and it was a beautiful warm day, sitting underneath a massive tree which provided ample shade and a great cooling breeze. The decor is great and this whole venue is instagrammable, pictures look great no matter where you take them. They also host parties so be prepared for increased noise levels in addition to the usual restaurant chatter. I would highly highly recommend making reservations because it got very full, very quickly - it would also help in cases where there are party bookings because seating space is not the biggest. The menu isn’t all that diverse, it’s platters and some finger foods called small plates. We had the almost orange platter and it was delicious, everything was cooked well. I enjoyed the zucchini, the samosas and the skewers. The fillet on the skewers was a little bit overcooked but there was still some flavour in it. I do wish they’d give steak knives because cutting into beef with a butter knife is quite the challenge. They have a great variety of drinks - alcoholic drinks ie brews, wines, a great variety of gins, cocktails and hard liquor. All the cocktails are available in the virgin option, according to what we were told. We had the almost orange cocktail and the kiwi blueberry mojito. They tasted amazing with the right amount of sweetness, the orange juice in the cocktail wasn’t too bitter which was great. We had the Belgian chocolate tart served with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it was perfection, just the right amount of sweetness and cocoa. Perfect way to end the day spent.

    I had the best day ever, the food was amazing and affordable. Chilled, laid back place to spend a day out of the busy city.

    Arrived at a restaurant located in the middle of an orange plantation , seated under large trees where designer gins accompanied platters of foods , finished off with turkish delight ice creams and orange cake . The experience was great , definetly a place to take friends to for special celebrations . Will be back.

    Loved the gin menu!! I think they have over 60 variations of Gin. The food was okay as well. The vibe was amazing, almost like we weren't in SA.

  • 4/5 Kayla J. 10 months ago on Google
    Very, very beautiful place and staff were friendly. The atmosphere and decorations were perfect for the environment. Food was very tasty and presented so nicely. I would absolutely recommend!! My only suggestion is that the toilet be cleaned before opening. I went to the bathroom shortly after arriving at 11am when they open and the bathroom was unpleasant. The toilet and sink were dirty and there was a very unpleasant smell.

    Bit of a circus on a Sunday , great if you want to be seen with other people from J’burg , not so good for a quiet drink. Book weeks in advance and wear your best hair extensions & handbag.

  • 5/5 Ivan S. 5 months ago on Google
    This was an interesting delight to happen across. The atmosphere of the local is sensational, with an immense Portugese/Mediterranean feel, with superb views and accompanying background music. The cocktails we indulged in were exquisite with an air of relaxation overcoming you. This is certainly a place where you can bring your SO for some relaxation and a pleasant cocktail lunch.

    Absolutely beautiful space that opens out onto a courtyard area. Reminds one of a little European restaurant in Summer. Great vibe and atmosphere surrounded by beautiful views and the orange orchards.

  • 5/5 Marguerite N. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place! The food and drinks are excellent! Service is friendly. But the vibe is the best! Just a great place to visit!

  • 5/5 Silindile M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been meaning to visit this place for the longest time and it did not disappoint. First let me talk about the place itself, it’s so gorgeous , we were seated outside with such a great view of the amazing orchard. Now to the food we started off with the meat platter (Kudu & Springbok) which was quite the experience,it being my first trying kudu. We then followed up with the cheese platter and obviously you can’t go wrong with that, oooh before I forget I had the Aviation Gin ( Ryan Reynolds ) to drink yummy. A definite must try and I’ll be visiting it again.

    A great away-from-city experience with a scenic setup, aesthetically pleasing surroundings and interior design, and friendly staff! The prices are affordable and they have a loaded drinks menu! The platters were smaller than expected, and took some time to prepare (we were 5 people who ordered 3 platters and waited 30-40 minutes).
