Tokara Restaurant

Amazing scenery, authentic service, brilliant sommelier with nice background stories about the wines served , amazing food with lots of different textures and flavors we really appreciated this experience and would love to revisit Tokara someday

An official dinner. Exceptional food, service and wine. Wine selection is extensive. Each dish was presented beautifully. The restaurant has amazing views. Come for the wine, the food and the views.

We definitely recommend this place. Over the years, service and food are at the highest standards. Not to mention the venue (art exhibition) and the view. A must go in the area of Stellenbosch

As a Cape Town local who has been to so many wine farms in Cape Town, this has to be the most beautiful one of them all, with some of the best wine I’ve personally had.

Having just had the best meal I've ever had, my expectations for lunch were elevated. Tokara was exceptional and surprising. We were told it was a fine restaurant and one of the best in the area. Though we did not try others around it, the reputation is likely well deserved. I had the kingklip (spelling?) and loved every single bite. The views from nearly any seat give way to vineyards and rows of trees. The service was very good, although the bar had been set very high by other places we visited. When we return to South Africa, we will revisit this location.

Beautiful setting with amazing views over the valley. Service is fast and friendly, and even the food is good, it is probably not the most important attraction of the restaurant. Well worth a visit though.

Was here two years ago and the food was not overwhelming but decided to give it another go. Lunch to celebrate my wife's birthday. Whilst the setting is delightful (happy to sit inside with the Aircon on this occasion as it was 38c!) with beautiful long views over the countryside, the food again was the main weak point. We had to send back both our main course dishes as they were seriously overcooked! The FOH staff dealt with this in a perfectly appropriate and professional manner. When the replacements arrived, my wife's Atlantic salmon was perfectly cooked. My lamb rump was cooked as I had asked, pink. It was, however, very dry. I did not want to upset my wife by sending it back again so I wrongly said nothing and ate it. Luckily, lamb is one of the few meats that I can eat even when over cooked for my taste. I had previously informed the restaurant that I would like a little something to recognise my wife's special day and they, in writing, stated that they "usually provided a complimentary dessert with a candle in it". I happily accepted this offer as perfect for the purpose. It never arrived!!! Needless to say, to save any embarrassment to my wife who me nothing about this, I again said nothing. Having requested a couple of espresso coffees, what arrived, were not espresso as I know it. Zero crema on either of them and tasted stewed. Not the experience I was hoping for. I rarely write "bad" things about establishments as by so doing it could jeopodise peopled jobs but the truth is the truth. Sorry guys.

Wonderful experience. They could accommodate allergies 😇
