Unfortunately a lot of the restaurants are fully booked a day in advance, so it's crucial to make a booking. Below you'll find our favourite restaurants in town. They form part of Annemien's Restaurant Recommendation List, which you'll find in each room's information booklet.

The celebrated chef of Jordan Restaurant, George Jardine, opened his dream restaurant in Stellenbosch. Billed as a fine-dining venue, the only visible fine-dining touches are the white table cloths – and of course the seasonally inspired, assured food with its characteristic George touches. But neither the unbelievably low prices nor the ambience suggest top-end dining.

Found in the bustling heart of central Stellenbosch, Oppie Dorp is definitely well-named. The oak-shaded outside area, edged right on the busy Dorp Street with lots of traffic and pedestrians passing-by, is a good choice for balmy summer evenings. Its décor may be relatively simple but the good service and delicious dishes will nevertheless have you charmed and eager for more. The menu is relatively concise but it offers some lovely flavourful dishes all the same. Their lamb and venison dishes are incredible.
