Stellenbosch Restaurants

For that authentic Irish pub experience give The Brazen Head a try. Situated in the historic university town of Stellenbosch, this local hang out delivers hearty pub grub as well as a lively atmosphere. Expect a warm hospitable atmosphere, that the Irish refer to as ‘Craic’ is duplicated here with furniture, décor and subtle background music that will have one feel instantly transported to a Dublin Pub. The pub cum restaurant offers good old Irish food along with traditional South African fare to cater to the palate of its patrons. Specialty drinks that add a stamp of authenticity include Guinness and Kilkenny, famous Irish whiskeys like Tullamore Dew and Jameson's along with Bailey's. The Brazen Head also offers great lunch specials, Sunday Roasts and a big screen TV for sport fanatics. The venue also hosts corporate events.

The Fishmonger, a restaurant that specializes in the best available seafood, is located at the pulse of the historic town of Stellenbosch. At the corner of Plein and Van Ryneveld streets, this eatery offers a vibey, Mediterranean atmosphere with the best seats in the house being out of house – on the pavement. Seafood lovers will find the menu a catch. With items such as oysters, linefish in a cream sauce with mushrooms and mozzarella, as well as seafood soup and variety of mixed platters to choose from (that include queen prawns and calamari) there can be no complaints. Those with a sweet tooth will also be happy to try the Crème Brulee on the dessert menu. The restaurant also has a good selection of local wines to compliment the seafood cuisine. Reserving a table is essential at this popular venue.
