he Steenberg Restaurant, housed in the original winery dating back to 1682, has been completely rebuilt into a stylish Cape colonial venue.and now blends in with all three other historical buildings on the premises.



Rich dark wood, antique carpets, oak furnishings and display dressers filled with original Spode crockery create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Being an old wine cellar, cosy dining alcoves have been created in the original vats. Both the main dining area and the bar feature fire-places.



A section of the original wine storage areas have been turned into small wine cellars, keeping the more than 80 different wines on offer at optimum temperatures. These mini cellars form part of the restaurant and can be viewed whilst dining, giving guests the feeling of dining in a cellar.

The Cape-continental style cuisine features starters such as Ostrich Carpaccio, Oven-baked mushrooms with Camembert cheese and a red onion marmalade, and a Seafood wok with tempura vegetables and seafood, served with a chilli-pawpaw dip. Specialities are Beef Carpaccio, Kudu Venison and Steenberg Lamb Shank.



Main dishes, again with emphasis on freshness, include Braised lamb shank with root vegetables and a rich portwine sauce and Panfried red roman with grilled vegetables and a lime-butter sauce. Desserts are a mix of traditional dishes and current delicacies such as Pumpkin meringue pie and Cape brandy pudding.



Guests can also enjoy dining al fresco during the day under large canopied umbrellas overlooking the natural splendour of the estate. Reservations are required for the Steenberg Restaurant.
