Stunning fine dining restaurant. Their lunch menus are great value for what it is. The vegetarian dishes here are excellent, flavour packed and shows off the skills of the kitchen with lots of different elements coming together. Ostrich tataki is a classic and duck was also lovely. Great range of wines by the glass. Amazing views as well.

Dear Peter Tempelhoff, after having been at the Greenhouse a few years ago, we were very happy to be back in Capetown, our favorite place for great tasting and beautiful places. We have been visiting quite a lot of famous restaurants in the last 14 days in Capetown area. Unfortunately we were very disappointed this evening about our 6-course menu. Not because of the service, the wines or the quality of you meat and fish, but all the dishes were boring, old fashioned style, one dimensional tasting and without any surprising flavor. We really expected something special, especially for the price you ask, but unfortunately it was a only a dinner, which we could have eaten in 99,9% of the restaurants in town. Sorry, very disappointing!

Expensive? Yes. Distance from CBD? Yes. But worth it. Simple the best service I have experienced in Cape Town. Food and wine pairing was divine. Bread plate very good. Meat selection pulled me from my recent vegetarian bender and it was delicious. The menu changes and we were there for new years brunch/summer menu. Recommend walking grounds a bit after to enjoy the atmosphere. Recommend and would return occasionally (big budget needed).

A very beautiful farm, the picnic lawns are superb. The breakfast was good. Even though the restaurant was busy and food took a little long, the staff was pleasant and who wants to rush when the venue is beautiful anyway. A lovely experience 👌🏼

We went for dinner and we really enjoyed everything. The fun and relaxed service was the perfect frame for the super tasty dishes. Our favourite were the Brisket served with a truffle aioli, and the Iron Stake Wagyu , one meat not to be missed.

Wonderful fine dining experience at Beyond Restaurant. Unpretentious dishes complimented each element on the plate amazingly. Staff were attentive, and each course was delicious. Our favorite was the Brisket and Truffle Aioli and the Chicken and Duck Roulade 👌🏼 worth the visit, and the views into the vineyard are beautiful.

A beautiful place, with a beautiful view( Sunset view is the best). The food was good, presentation was lovely but the flavours weren’t so exciting-just fine. My crème brûlée’s crackling was not what I expected but the taste was good. The wine I had for the pairings was immature, but I got to enjoy the crisp and fresh flavours. Other than the immature wine the sommelier paired all my meals well The service was amazing! The lady that served us was very friendly and the sommelier presented the wines well extending his knowledge whenever we had questions

wow what an experience. first is was confused because a lot of things going on, on the plate... but when you take your time to try everything one by one and then everything together it was a great experience. than you so much

As expected, super nice. They have so many details nailed down. The view and space is mesmerizing and so are the dishes plating. The only course that gave me some trouble were the desserts, just a little too much going on. (Not enough to put them down a star though, they were still very good) It is supeerrrr expensive but I thought it was worth the price. And the staff was amazing as well, they helped get us a ride out of there as not many Ubers are around the area. My final verdict? Go there for a very special occasion and be ready for a really amazing dining experience at quite the cost.

First let's start with their "Patio" dining area- totally misleading. It's a small area outside that overlooks the courtyard. Everyone enters through the courtyard and it's also where people can smoke (smoking isn't allowed on the "Patio" but it's in a closed off area - so it's definitely there) We arrived on time and my husband was disappointed to learn the "patio" wasn't a patio at all. We asked for other seating as it was my birthday and our wedding anniversary - the lady was a bit rude and said everything is booked out and they can 't assist us in better seating. FYI we were there for 2.5 hours and multiple tables were still open with nice views - so not very accommodating. We then took a seat at the back- FLIES FLIES AND MORE FLIES. It affected a few tables - they brought candles but didn't help much. Starters and Mains - great. The desserts keeps missing the spot - not so tasty.

Beautiful restaurant, well taken care green lushious garden. Food was amazing, we had a 3 course meal celebrating a friend’s birthday. The food is really good, well prepared and presentable. It is so tasty, honestly I cannot stop talking about the food. Also I think it is well priced and worth every cent. Portions are a bit small though. Unfortunately, I found pieces of glass/ hard plastic in my cocktail drink. I actually drank and chewed on it. After spitting it out u called the waiter right away, who apologised and took it to the manager. In my opinion the manager didn't show any urgency to the matter, at that time I was panicking thinking maybe I swallowed the glass. He finally came, made small talk and making comments like “its finally quite because we are eating” I'm not sure if he was trying to tell us we were noisy. Also he made some comments that made us feel like he thinks we cannot pay the bill. When we asked, he said they are still doing investigation of where the glass comes from. But anyway, they finally apologised and gifted wine bottles and removed my meal from the bill. We didnt expect that, all I wanted was for them to take responsibility of what happened and realise the danger of almost swallowing a piece of glass/ sharp hard plastic. I find doing investigations as part of their job, but not once did the manager ask if I’m okay, I didn’t swallow any, or any empathy, or if I require medical assistance whatsoever. I’m glad, I have not experienced anything that might tell me I swallowed some of the glass so far. I wish this was a once off incident and whatever plastic shaker they are using that chipped is replaced right away. ( because manager resorted to say he believes it is coming from the shaker sun he it is chipped)

Spoilt for choice. Even on a rainy day, the view remains pleasing over the vineyard. Service impeccable - small request, no problem. The fine dinning venue serve food without disappointment. Reservation necessary to avoid disappointment.

Amazing and delicious - highly recommended. The setting is beautiful, the interior warm and welcoming and the staff is amazing. A special thank you to Adrianne and Donnie of going to extra mile for us and making our evening extraordinary.

Beyond Restaurant - Buitenverwachting This venue was suggested by the birthday boy's son & I've never been there before. I was totally blown away by the venue, surroundings, staff & the exquisite food. We were greeted by this angel called Adriane, what an amazing young women, nothing was to much for her, the prefect hostess, thank you for this, much appreciated. The food arrived & we where all blown away by the presentation & quality of each dish, sublime to say the least. To the management & staff thank you for an amasing experience & keep up the excellent standard. Kind regards Ferdie Liebenberg

The food here is delicious! We were met with very friendly faces and a meal that tickled our taste buds. Beyond is a beautiful restaurant with dishes that visually look amazing, and taste amazing.. This is coming from someone who can generally be a picky eater. I would go again in a heartbeat.. Compliments to the chef and all the staff it was a great experience. These were our mains the lamb and line fish of the day - kingklip

So good we were lucky enough to get a booking again in a couple of weeks. We had eaten at Fyn , Beyond’s sister restaurant which was so incredible we were keen to try Beyond. The setting is spectacular in the heart of upper Constantia, set in the middle of the beautiful vineyards of the Buitenverwachtig estate. The view from the glass walled dining of the vines and table mountain is mesmerising. Although one of the restaurants specialities is rare breed meat and seasonal produce, they will offer options not listed on the menu which will be very helpful for my vegan daughter when we return in the next couple of weeks. I have to comment on the service before i even get to the food. The staff are just truly gorgeous, helpful, knowledgable and efficient , a big shout out to them. The food , the taste combinations , the quality of every component of the dish was as good as you can get in a very top rated London restaurant which is where we are based. Each dish was cooked to perfection and was exciting and delicious we savoured every mouthful. I have no idea why any other reviewer would give it less than 5 stars. Beyond will now be a regular fixture on our yearly visits to Cape Town

Hello there, a nice sunny day lunch. Of course best food and not to mention the service received by the staff present. Kat ~ our waitress, friendly! Amazing! Definitely a must visit! Best with friends or family.

Having dined at many restaurants in Cape Town and South Africa, this restaurant was still beyond my expectations. For 3 diners the spring menu was quite a bargain at this level of cuisine. What really stood out for me was the clear uncluttered flavours. Everything on each plate complimented each other and brought amazing balance. Well thought out preparations. The chicken and beef mains were outstanding. The service and the ambiance too was perfect. I will definitely go back to try other menus here.

My recent visit to Beyond, aligned with restaurant week, afforded me the opportunity to evaluate their offerings during a bustling time which could, in part, contextualize some aspects of this review. While it is true that there may be establishments offering greater value and more exceptional service, it is worth noting some nuances of my experience. Regarding the wine pairing, I found it to be non-essential. While the selection complemented the dishes quite well, the wines themselves did not stand out as particularly noteworthy, especially considering the price point. Given that the restaurant is an hour's drive from my location, and there are comparable options nearer, I am hesitant to plan a return visit. The journey to Beyond is undeniably picturesque, winding through the estate's lush vineyards. Upon arrival, we were met with a warm welcome from the front of house manager and seated promptly. Our server, Amanda, soon introduced herself and her team, who would be attending to us that evening. We initially received the "Spring Menu" but were informed within 10 minutes that we should have been given the "Restaurant Week" menu instead. Upon request, and with a modest price difference of only R60, we were permitted to opt for the regular chef's tasting menu consisting of six courses. The evening was marred slightly by a noticeable absence of engagement from the staff. There was no inquiry about our familiarity with the restaurant or the menu, no explanations were offered, nor were we queried about our interest in menu supplements—items we were indeed interested in. For a fine dining establishment, attention to such details is paramount to ensure guests are well informed and their experience personalized. As for the culinary experience, it was generally positive: The bread course featured an excellent cultured butter with a delightful hint of smoked onion. The starters were a culinary journey: The Handcrafted local Burrata with variations of pumpkin, seed cracker, pecan nuts, Fynbos honey, and truffle vinaigrette, as well as the Coal-seared ostrich accompanied by sesame roasted aubergine, coriander pesto, mint-cucumber, and Cape Malay amasi dressing, were both exceptional. The mains included a Pan-seared Cape fish with tomato risotto, chokka, artichoke piri-piri, aubergine puree, and squid ink sauce. The interplay of flavors was impressive and pleasing to the palate. The Kalahari beef fillet, however, was somewhat disappointing. Accompanied by smoked grilled carrot, Stanford cheese pomme puree, glazed onion, furikake, and bone marrow jus, the beef was unfortunately over-seared. Dessert was a highlight: The Mandarin panna cotta with curd mousse, poppyseed sponge cake, and sweet basil ice-cream was the best course of the evening. The meal concluded with petit fours: chocolates and a guava puree sweet coated in sugar, a delightful end to the dining experience. In summary, Beyond presents a menu that tantalizes the taste buds, set against the backdrop of a stunning estate. However, to enhance the fine dining experience, a greater emphasis on service detail and guest engagement would be beneficial.

Wrong time. Went for Christmas lunch and have been disappointed. Tempelhof price, but far below his quality. Menu had certainly been simple, Food preperation 3 star - except oysters. Simple food and no explosions of taste. Lamb was prepared like an average hotel kitchen, well done with simple cooked potatoes and deepfried, cauliflower my mother would make better. Certainly an embarrassing and Peter Tempelhof would be disappointed. They sold his name and not the quality and imagination. Assume chef had a bad day- at my costs.The best has neen Charl the butler and the oysters. Hope the normal food is better
