Overall, very enjoyable evening, in a classy, elegant space with excellent, restrained but attentive service and great food. If you like classic fine-dining in a refined, elegant setting you are unlikely to be disappointed. Cream of Fresh Forest Mushroom Soup was superb in both texture and flavour.
Roasted loin of lamb beautifully tender and cooked to perfection, very slightly pink but not in an off-putting way. The individual chops were trimmed to perfection and well presented on a delicious bed of roasted veggies and a pan reduction of jus.
Desserts hit the spot. Hot Chocolate baked (lava style) pudding nicely presented could have been runnier in the centre but tasty and attractively presented. The Rose and Nut Ice cream was the winner: a Casatta by any other name and beautifully textured, flavoured and presented.
One minor criticism; we found both soup and jus with the main course to be a little heavy on the salt. It did not spoil the meal but almost overtook the subtle flavouring in both cases. Quentin's is a Hout Bay 'evergreen' and deserves its reputation; a reliable, elegant, traditional fine-dining experience and one of Hout Bay's bests.

We had a wonderful evening with great food and service. As a bonus, there was a fantastic Hungarian trio playing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Two choices for each course and all were very well received except the desert my wife took. But first the details of the other... Soup was great, hearty and tasty, my salad was very well presented tasty and imaginative. We both had the lamb with beetroot on a very interesting base, 10/10. My desert was excellent a mixed berry affair. my wife's soft hearted chocolate was sadly not soft hearted, it was hard in the middle. We had eaten here before and have had excellent food, this was not the usual offering. sadly we reported it and had little response? So they lost 10/10 for all, but for 5 they were exceptional and the wine list was good and the recommended wine we took and was great.

About Quentin at Oakhurst

Cuisine: International

Quentin at Oakhurst


Located on one of the original Hout Bay farms, the Quentin at Oakhurst restaurant and cellar will follow in the footsteps of generations of family food farming and cooking traditions. Located in the upper regions of the valley, juxtaposed by two rivers, sourced on rich flood plain soils, and dwarfed by the Skoorsteenspoort escarpment, this farm sustained and nurtured the valley’s residents with a bounty of meats, fowls, dairy, wine and vegetables for over a hundred years.

 

The existing barn served as the heart of this production. The steel wall hoops hark back to the days when the dairy herd was milked here and when the adjacent cellar still carried grapes from fermentation to wine. The recent renovation of the barn retains and celebrates this rich vein of Cape and associated culinary heritage.

 

The gurgling of rapid water, the scurry of guinea fowl and the crack of acorns underfoot, embraced by the coolness of the majestic and mighty oak tree’s canopy, make for a magnificent setting which serves as an extraordinary inspiration and epiphany for this talented Cape cook.

 

So as not to miss the opportunity to dine with loved ones, family and friends, at what will undoubtedly be a landmark food destination over the upcoming spring and summer season, patrons are strongly advised to book now.
