This place ticked all the boxes for me. The right amount of options on the menu, the food was delicious, exudes luxury, cotton hand towels in the restrooms, stunning deco. Anthony gave us the right amount of attention. A new favourite for me.

Went for a high tea with my friends and was bitterly disappointed. Our waiter clearly neglected our table, as other tables received all their dishes before us, and we only received our teas (simultaneously) much later in the experience. We also received our scones cut in half as opposed to a full scone like other tables (after I asked where they were, since we had waited 30 minutes)(see pic). The manager did, however, bring us a fresh portion of the correct size, which we appreciated. Overall, I have had better and cheaper high teas. The food was 7/10 - desserts were the highlight. The service was a 4/10. I won't be back unfortunately, despite the setting being absolutely gorgeous.

This is a restaurant with a rich history that it’s not running away from. Manor Kitchen is honestly ‘Rustic’…but with a healthy serving of Sophistication. The flagship Lanzerac eatery seamlessly manages a delicious balance of sophistication and simplicity – from their Sunday lunch to the decadent Afternoon Tea, and meals such as breakfast and dinner. Its breakfast is a humble brag born of excellent quality ingredients, adding trusty brunch & breakfast picks to the menu, and having a dependable team in the kitchen. If you’re parched or pacing yourself, there’s a good drink to dive into! The estate’s own varietals are great for seasoned wine lovers, as well as those getting their first introductions.

We went for wine tasting Then decided to have lunch. I ordered the pie ( the waiter told me it's a beef & vegetable pie.) After a long wait ( more than 70 Min) my Beef & mushroom pie came with a salad that was so dry of standing in a hot kitchen! The decor of the deli and farm is really beautiful. I only recommend this place if you have time to spare and you don't mind waiting!

I celebrated my birthday here with the high tea on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were lovely and attentive. The food was of a good portion, and tasty, and they made the appropriate adjustments for those with dietary requirements without a hassle. The room was beautiful and bright, and there was an incredible piano player who added to the ambiance.

Unfortunately waited over two hours to get our order. We had made a reservation many weeks in advance. The food was quite good, but the service ruined the experience. I was going to just close out our bill and leave, but they kept reassuring us the food was almost ready. During the two hours we waited, we were not checked on frequently or offered anything to keep us satiated. Thankfully we had not opted for the six course tasting menu, or I would probably still be at the restaurant waiting for my next course rather than on my flight back home. For the price, I would never return. The Vine Bistro was a MUCH better experience.

Superb. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff friendly and competent. Atmosphere romantic, soft piano music. Fresh flowers.

I recently made the journey from Cape Town to Stellenbosch to try the seven-course dinner paired with Lanzerac’s award-winning wines at Manor Kitchen. It was a lovely experience and a wonderful value. The dishes were creative and inspired and paired nicely with the wines. The tuna tartare dish was one of the best bites I’ve experienced in my culinary life. My only constructive feedback, which I’ve shared with the establishment, is (1) for the bread course, the clay pot needs to either cooled longer before being served or come accompanied by some type of mitt for diners to hold it with while removing the bread. It was fingerprint melting off your hands HOT. (2) Some of the wines were too cold when served and did not develop their full flavor profile until the end of the respective dish. We appreciated the sommeliers’ openness to discuss this (she is fabulous!) (3) Lastly, children talking loudly, singing, and running around grabbing the backs of chairs in the mostly empty dining room like it was a playground was highly disruptive to the elevated experience. Neither the staff nor the parents visibly did anything to curtail the unruly behavior. For the time and money spent on this experience, an adult atmosphere would have been greatly appreciated. Overall, I recommend this experience.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. The entirety of Lanzerac is so rich with history. We immediately thought "this experience is going to be magical". The Amuse-bouche (watermelon gazpacho) was light and flavourful. The bread and butter was delicious. Our starters, admittedly, weren't mind blowing - I think we expected a lot given the visuals of the establishment and the look of the menu. Though the food was a bit bland. Our mains were flavourful and aesthetically plated. The venison wellington was a little tough and not served with a steak knife. Dessert was our absolute favourite. The wait for each course was incredibly long. We probably spent 30 minutes actually eating and around 2 hours waiting for dishes. Overall, it was a good experience but the service was slow.

Truly amazing place! Such a good vibe, everybody’s so lovely, happy to help and made our day. Brut methode classique was exactly what we dreamed of to chill in a beautiful garden before the sunset!

Fantastic in every way , well worth a visit , several restaurants to suit your style , excellent staff , very welcoming, so picturesque and full of history.

A really special place. Old style grace and elegance. Don't expect heaped plates of food but the quality and taste is really good. Good wine selection.

Beautiful wines & a beautiful location. The waiter was witty & very knowledgeable - he was also very generous! A great late afternoon visit - enjoyed by every one in our group

The wine was great. My favourite was the cabernet sauvignon and the least favourite was the pinotage rose. The service was amazing, shout out to Bulelwa.

The setting is beautiful. The trees and squirrels running on the lawn make it a peaceful and idyllic place to go for a great lunch staff and service is friendly and professional. The food and wine selection is diverse with something for everyone. Beautifully presented food that tastes so good. It is a bit expensive but it was worth every cent.

I cannot describe in words nor with adequate English the joy we've experienced here. The furniture and decor are relics with souls that are reminiscent of better days far gone and yet to come. The majestic wood interiors create a sense of warm wonder that stirs a feeling of home away from home and the sense of comfort and relaxation sets in. The wine was clearly a table favourite by the great Dionysus and well received and utterly enjoyed by us mere mortals. The chef wowed us with his dexterity and gifs for the art of making food, for a burger and a pork belly never tasted so good. The dessert was a show stopper as all conversations died away like the last burning logs on the hearth.

Absolutely everything about our experience was amazing! The food was extremely good and it didn’t take a long wait at all. The wine top level. The service was just outstanding and the atmosphere high class! Would love to return to this place one day.
