#5 of our 6 bookings for this year’s Restaurant Week. Idiom had me long before we made the restaurant! A long, meandering drive through the estate before opening, the big reveal, to the sight of False Bay far below us in the distance. Lunch service was relatively busy, the five course meal costing a very reasonable R295. The very nature of Italian food is not really fine dining. As this is fusion SA/Italian, it enjoys the rustic nature of good Italian cooking with excellent SA ingredients. A very enjoyable meal in a very pleasant environment. Happy days, yummy food!

The best of the best in the Helderberg. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was pure artwork all surrounded by the beauty of nature. Makes you want to stay there all day just to relax, unwind and breath in the feeling of being ‘overseas’
