STELLENBOSCH KITCHEN

BEST FOR Lunch or dinner with a beer or glass of wine. FOOD Stellenbosch Kitchen serves scrumptious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. For starters the Caesar salad, oven-grilled calamari tubes with chorizo, and earthy mixed-mushroom risotto with truffle oil are winners. For mains, the Monster burger with spicy aioli, onion marmalade, Healey’s mature cheddar and fries is a winner, as is the ale-battered hake with fries, mushy peas and charred lemon. The restaurant’s signature Karoo lamb rack with herb crust is another enticing option. Extra sides such as seasonal veggies and beer-battered onion rings cost R30 each. Be tempted by a classic raspberry mille-feuille or a dark chocolate fondant for dessert. DRINKS The wine list includes local varietals, MCC, beer (also on tap) and spirits. SERVICE The professional waiting staff will make your visit memorable. AMBIENCE Stellenbosch Kitchen has an air of warm hospitality in a town where opulence can overwhelm. (IvdM)
