    We had an exquisite dining experience in the Vinotheque private dining area. We ordered the gourmet tasting menu (6 courses) along with a few bottles of wine and MCC. The cheese platters at the end of our meal were enjoyed in the courtyard with some live music. Thank you to all of the staff for looking after us so wonderfully during our celebration.

    Amazing mountain and lagoon views to enjoy your delicious meals that have been crafted to perfection. The wine tastings are also top notch and the art is beautiful.

    With an amazing view, and truly lavish setup, this was a great experience. We had the lunchtime menu, with burgers and fish. What a treat! I would recommend saving space for the cheesecake as well.

    Situated in the beautiful Benguela Cove wine estate is a jewel of a restaurant. You can choose to site inside, outside under cover or outside in full sun. We sat under cover outside and soaked in the amazing views. Before sampling some delicious starters - mussels and squid. ***** The mains (see pics) was SO good. Paired with a great Boudreaux blend from the local vines. Service was top notch, attentive without being pushy. The whole place screams class without being pretentious. See my review on the estate for more but we will definitely be back.

    We had a gala dinner here and it was so special. The venue is just awesome and has so many aspects that can be mentioned...it is a selfie dream scene whith breathtaking sunset view. The food is world class and the most friendly people is ready with great wine and other beverages at your beck and call.

    The food tasted good. We were told over the phone while booking that the restaurant next door that sells burgers are better because we have young children. When we ordered, we waited hours for our food, the staff is NOT trained. Our children were done eating before our food came. I had no idea who our waiter was until the end because ethere were so many of them. Very expensive for the poor service and small portions. We were served lunch without cutlery and our wine was not opened, and no bottle opener left for us. My 1 child's drink was spilled, and had to ask numerous times for ketchup. Manger was informed that we waited for more than an hour for our main dish, he wasn't fazed. What a pity.

    Perfect place! People were so friendly, wine glasses were really unique and I fell in love with the view

  • 5/5 Mini P. 1 year ago on Google
    We last ate here pre COVID. So good to see the standards of quality food haven't slipped. Our waiter Allan was very friendly and helpful. The Chardonnay was absolutely divine. Light but crisp as it should be. Our food was a masterclass in Haute Cuisine and complimented the wine perfectly. There are two to choose from but the dearer one is far superior. We will be back again that's for sure.

    Stunning view and location. Waiter service OK. Management poor. Food sounds better in the description than it tastes but is ok. Wine is the cooler climate style... light acidic wines. Main problem for us was being let down with lack of concern for guests with activities cancelled without notice and for no good reason. We walked to lagoon. It was one of the least windy days we have had this year. Thought we had discovered a good new experience for visitors. The setting is spectacular but we will have to keep searching.

    Horrible service at this place, was treated like we don't know how to order off a menu, the waiter left the empty eaten plates at our table for 15 minutes while he cleared up around us attending to other guests. No check ups on my sister and I. Hate that when you the only person of colour at a place and you get treated like a commoner. With "awe" and slang. Till now I'm still siting here and the tray that was brought with the bottle of wine is still on the table and that was brought before the meal. Pathetic I would not recommend. Food was great but service horrible.

👍 The food was amazing and generous. Our waiter was very friendly but after mains seemed to be less attentive with delays in serving our group. Not a Big thing but it was apparent. All in all an enjoyable dinner experience 👍

👍👍 Probably the best waiter we have ever had the honor of serving us. Local English chap that knows his food and area very well.
