Dieu Donne restaurant finds itself in Franschhoek, arguably, the culinary capital of the country. The Drakenstein mountain is a magnificent backdrop to the wine farm on which the eatery is located and thus sets the scene for tranquil lunch or dinner. The restaurant is housed in an underground cellar and promises patrons fine dining with its extensive menu and wine pairings from the farm’s own offerings. Dieu Donne is also a popular lunch venue. Guests soak up the best of the summer weather with al fresco style dining on the ground terrace while the lawn (with a sandpit near by to occupy the kids) is available for families who would like to picnic. Blankets are provided and the restaurant has a children’s menu. Dieu Donne delivers a ‘world menu’ which includes French Huguenot Provincial fare, with a unique combination of African, Asian & Mauritian influences. The open planned professional kitchen makes dining an interactive experience and adds to the energy that the restaurant exudes. A point of interest at this location is the micro brewery. Visitors are welcome to taste the beer the farm yields. Wine tasting is also recommended. Dieu Donne is also a prime wedding and function venue.

Heaven

Hermanus Mediterranean restaurant in Hermanus

A restaurant called Heaven. Perched with a panoramic view of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, one will certainly feel as if one is in heaven, and with the culinary delights on offer, one will have a taste of heaven too. The atmosphere and tranquil mood of the place it dominated by the stunning views of the valley. Guests will undoubtedly find themselves asking to be seated on the balcony with a glass of wine where one can just sit in awe of the surrounding beauty. Heaven offers the best of fine food. The menu has a Mediterranean feel with a choice of breads that are baked daily. Steak lovers will fret over choices like the French with Camembert and black cherries; Italian with caramelized onions, buffalo mozzarella and pesto or Greek with caramelised onions, feta cheese and roasted tomatoes. The Pavlova and refreshing melon and ginger sorbets come highly recommended for those who can’t live without pudding. Heaven’s menu changes every two weeks to ensure the inclusion of locally produced ingredients. Heaven also hosts private functions.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the week, except for Sundays when only breakfast and lunch are served. The menu is well thought out and offers lighter meals like gourmet sandwiches, as well as options for the more ravenous diner. The sushi menu is great and serves up fashion sandwiches, maki, nigiri, sashimi and loads more. Only the freshest produce is used, and this ensures bite-sized Japanese delights that burst with flavour. The price one pays for an average main course is very competitive and the quality received outweighs the moolah spent.

Olives & Plates

South Africa Mediterranean restaurant in South Africa

This is THE restaurant for real foodies. Olives & Plates takes food seriously, and at the same time makes it fun and unpretentious, with a touch of pizzazz. Start your day with a wholesome, filling breakfast. The menu is varied, but especially mentionable is the egg, avo, caramelized onion and sun dried tomato wrap; the smoked salmon, toasted English muffin, poached eggs, spinach and hollandaise sauce and the cinnamon and raisin brioche served with mixed berries and mascarpone. A variety of imaginative salads are also available and include the delicious halloumi, spinach, dates and avo salad. Steaks, burgers, wraps and gourmet sarmies with tons of fillings and toppings have earned their place on the menu as well. A house speciality is Nonna's Meat Balls, slow cooked in a chunky tomato sauce topped with fresh basil and parmesan shavings. Homemade cakes and decadent desserts add a wicked touch to your meal and thee are best accompanied by a glass of bubbly. Sit back, relax and enjoy cuisine that is made from the heart.
