Diemersdal Farm is a beautiful setting with sprawling green lawns and wide open spaces. The Eatery is a intimate space which feels cosy. The staff were friendly & attentive and did not get annoyed by my two busy toddlers for which I am grateful.
The food and wine were truly delicious, especially the peanut butter soufflé - wow! Thank you for a great lunch experience
This was the first time that we've visited Diemersdal, and what a wonderful experience it was! The service was excellent and the staff so friendly and helpful. The food was beautifully presented and so delicious. We will definitely be back again!
Fantastic experience ! (The bread offering was the only thing I will change. Some of it was very hard to chew and I will add a bit of taste to the pate)
But still great experience !
Excellent winery ... verry good wine and the restaurant is amazing!!
Delicious meal, interesting taste combinations. Friendly service.
Portions a little on the small side for the more hungry diner.

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.
