Best Restaurant in the Winelands.
Excellent experience! We were so lucky to experience this relatively new restaurant in Stellenbosch. We will definitely be back!
Attention to detail and exceptional meals
The food was sophisticated, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The 3-course menu left me with no space for another morsel. Well done, chef and team for a superb dining experience!
Wir waren im Rahmen der Restaurantwochen dort und hatten das 3-Gänge-Menue - es war vom ersten bis zum letzten Bissen einfach super.
Der Service aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich, das Essen ausgezeichnet, die ganze Athmosphaere relaxed auf gehobenem Niveau.
Indgesamt ein tolle Erlebnis, das uns so gut gefallen hat, dass wir gleich wieder einen Termin gebucht haben.

About MERTIA
Cuisine: Fine Dining
MERTIA RESTAURANT CELEBRATES THE BEST OF STELLENBOSCH
The newest star on the Western Cape’s fine dining landscape sees two sons of Stellenbosch unite to bring MERTIA back to the second oldest town in South Africa.
Named after owner and founder Marais Kirsten-Uys’ grandmother, she taught him that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Masterminding the seasonal, set menu is Chef Matt van den Berg, whose flair for elevated dining is informed by fresh, local ingredients. Together, Marais and Matt are realising their shared dream of inviting you into an intimate space – right in the heart of Stellenbosch – where there is an open dialogue between guests and the kitchen, and where the experience evolves with you through every course and every detail, right down to the wine pairing.
We now invite you to celebrate the best of Stellenbosch with us.
In the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa’s oldest town after Cape Town, two of the town’s sons have joined forces and returned to create MERTIA, an elevated dining experience with a taste for the finer things. MERTIA is the culmination of a lifelong dream. Crossing the antique gracht from De Wet Square is a rite of passage that allows every guest to leave the hustle and bustle of the vibrant town behind, opening yourself up to true South African hospitality elevated to world-class status, and to surrender to the ever-evolving experience of celebrating being together.
