The
Winelands Restaurant
A week ago on what was an
extremely cold and wet Cape Sunday morning we were fortunate to have a booking at
96 Winery Road Restaurant. Nothing could have warmed our souls better than
sitting in this cosy restaurant which houses two fireplaces and serves
delicious food & excellent South African wines.
96 Winery Road was first established in May 1996
and has since gained a solid reputation as a superb dining experience in the
Helderberg countryside, offering delectable dishes in a superb setting. The restaurant uses only fresh, often organic and
where possible local ingredients to prepare their dishes. 96 Winery Road has a
homely, rustic feel to it, with large open windows letting in the fresh air
from the surrounding vineyards, and large fires to keep it cosy during winter
months.
96 Winery Road also has a walk-in cellar for
private functions, and on certain days guests can enjoy tastings of wines
selected from nearby Cape wine estates,
including wines from part owners of the restaurant Ken Forrester and Martin
Meinert. 96 Winery Road advertise their food as being
unpretentious and big flavoured, and this is exactly what you can expect. The
menu offers enough variety to suit most pallets, and superb flavours and
presentation characterise each and every dish. 5 Google reviews
