The food was absolutely exquisite! We had the braised beef and pork belly for mains and the icecream for dessert. Even though ot was a Restaurant week reservation the food was more than enough fir my sister and I. Can definitely recommend this restaurant!
Diemersdal Farm Eatery surprised us tremendously. What a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere. The cuisine was beyond our expectations and excellently executed. The tastes made my soul happy. The service was just as exceptional as the food!! I will go back in a heart beat!
nice old place with good and tasty food
The staff were helpful and friendly.
The manager was accommodating to certain requests. They unfortunately didn’t have any blankets as they were being laundered. We needed them with the wind.
Thankfully they then let us move inside. The food was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wonderful restaurant.
This is a very special place with a rustic yet modern feel to it. The food was well balanced and good quality and quantity. The waiter was good but could have sold way more wine if he was attentive.
Other menu items looked attractive as well!

About The Farm Eatery
Cuisine: French, Farm-to-Table
The Farm Eatery is a place where you can enjoy the flavours of the countryside and the relaxing farm ambience in an old stable, restored with care by the Louw family, where they’ve been making wine for six generations. Here locally grown and regionally sourced produce inspire Chef Martin De Kock to blend his classical French training with the flavours of Provencal France, Spain and a touch of Asia. The herbs and some of the vegetables are from the kitchen garden, the preserves and pickles home-made, and the bread freshly baked. A balance of traditional roots and tantalising countryside cuisine mixed with homely farm vibes, and edgy cooking. That’s how we roll.
Meet Martin, The Head Chef and Proprietor
Born in Pretoria, and schooled in Durbanville, Chef Martin de Kock originally had his sights set on a legal career and was accepted as a law student at Stellenbosch University. His mother encouraged his passion for great cuisine and swayed him to turn his talent for cooking into a professional career. And so, Martin went on to attend the prestigious Institute for Culinary Arts (ICA) in Stellenbosch.
Whilst studying, Chef Martin did practical stints at leading Cape restaurants, including the Green House at Cellars-Hohenhort in Constantia, and Overture in Stellenbosch. Chef Martin also worked at Jordan Restaurant under Chef George Jardine before moving to Diemersdal in 2014, where he has been Head Chef since its inception, establishing The Farm Eatery as one of the most popular culinary destinations in the Cape Town Winelands.
