Eat Out

OPPIE DORP RESTAURANT AND WINE BAR

-

BEST FOR Upmarket food in a relaxed environmen­t. FOOD Light lunches include familiar favourites like hake and chips, a burger or the soup of the day. For dinner, try a starter of calamari with lemon butter drizzle and tartare sauce, or opt for something from the vegetarian menu, like the stuffed aubergine with mozzarella, olives and onions on a bed of seriously reduced pomodoro sauce (a winner). Main course favourites remain the slow-roasted Karoo lamb, or the line fish with sweet potato purée and stir-fried veg. Other options include locally sourced venison, beef fillet, aged sirloin and pizzas. For a lighter meal, try a few plates off the tapas menu. DRINKS A wide range of locally sourced wines, beers, whiskies and brandies. SERVICE Profession­al yet relaxed; staff are well informed and friendly. AMBIENCE A local hangout with beautiful scenic photograph­s of Stellenbos­ch, exposed brick walls, upholstere­d benches, wooden chairs and cosy corners. (IvdM)
