Delaire Graff Restaurant

This was such a magnificent experience! The staff are so extremely kind and honestly we couldn’t expect better hospitality to spend our 5 year anniversary! They were so kind to all hand write a card for us too. The food is exceptional, the quality of the ingredients with the cohesiveness of the dish was just splendid! We couldn’t be happier SUPER recommended! Thank you again for having us and we will most definitely return :)

One of the most beautiful panoramic restaurants on earth! The view on the Stellenbosch valley is breathtaking. The service is very attentive and polite both playful. When talking about the food you’d better order some veggie or beef but not seafood. As for the wines I prefer sparkling so the local MCC (Graff’s) is just incredible. *reservation is mandatory but if you’re in two you have a chance to enter and be seated. In any case there’s a spacious testing room nearby which operates without reservations.

AVERAGE AND OVER-PRICED This has a beautiful setting and the ambience of the building is very good But this all flatters to deceive, and the reviews are full of customers blinded by the glamour and marketing Having eaten in very many high-end establishments around the world from New York, to Spain, London and Paris etc, I'm not as gullible Ok, the food: Oysters - fine, decent size and flavour, nothing special but massively over-priced - R75 each 🤣 Ridiculous Starters - ok, but nothing memorable. Over-priced Mains - beef was tender and tasty but by South African standards, nothing special. The antelope was dry and not tender - a big disappointment The manager asked us how our meal was going, and we told him about the antelope. He said he'd get the chefs to prepare one for him so he could try it Presumably the customer's word isn't evidence 😌 Paid the bill with an already added R350 gratuity ($22) The manager said good evening to us as we left. I reminded him that he was going to get a piece of the antelope cooked to check. I asked if he had. He said yes and agreed with me about it's poor texture He hadn't re-visited us at table and made no offer of item substitution or refund. I doubt he actually did try it to be honest, but the main point was that he wasn't interested at all when the customer told him the antelope was tough and dry. Big mark-down on customer service So it's a decent restaurant with 'nice' food. There is no awesome cheffing going on here, though it's competent It's a typical high-end tourist trap, living off the hype and ambiance, but massively over-priced for the quality No enforced dress standards to match the ambience - some people in t shirts, shorts and flip-flops. They just want your money 💰 Just go to one of the many other Stellenbosch restaurants for a better meal at half the price 😌 👍🏻👍🏻

Oh my word. After the spa, my daughter and I went to this restaurant for lunch. Now what an experience. I think every single item on the menu must be incredible. We shared all plates - a starter, a salad, a main meal and a dessert. More than enough for us. I had the cabaret sauvignon, 2021 year. Totally perfect. My daughter had the merlot and then another red. All excellent. Such wonderful service and attention to detail. And the art. Hmmmm.... Like the spa, just exquisite art in so many forms.

The best place ever! Delaire Graff Restaurant is truly on another level. From the moment you arrive, the views, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail make the experience unforgettable. The food is exceptional — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and crafted with real passion. The service is warm, professional, and flawless, making you feel taken care of from start to finish. Whether it’s for a special occasion or simply to enjoy the best that the winelands have to offer, Delaire Graff is a must-visit. Absolutely outstanding in every way!

Wonderful place especially in summer when you can eat on the terrace. Good for larger parties as well. The views are amazing great food and good service. Delaire never disappoints! Food: pretty and tasty dishes especially the springbok and fish. Karoo lamb as a starter. Service: quick and attention to detail. Infants: only allowed during lunch. Very helpful to accommodate our son with a high chair stroller storage etc. Family restroom with good changing facility. Check out the tasting area as well. Even if you don’t come for lunch you can have a nice experience at the terrace.

Hoping we were there on a bad day for the chef. Been looking forward to this booking for months but the food was so disappointing and very expensive for South Africa. Wish they had more reasonable wines to offer too. Venue is exquisite though.

This is the best experience I’ve had at a vineyard in a long time. The staff is so kind but better than that the location looks absolutely beautiful and the view is BREATHTAKING. I want to go back and stay in the villas. The food was delicious and I believe they grow it all there on location. I honestly can not wait to go back
