"Beautiful restaurant"

8.0 Cuisine 6 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 8

We loved the venue and the service was top notch. We found the food a bit bland and needed some textural elements- a bit of crunch maybe. So we were slightly dissapponted with started and main, but dessert was amazing - a play on apple pie

"Feasting at Faber"

8.3 Cuisine 7 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 8

Wonderful setting, excellent service, good wine and good food. However, the experience was slightly spoiled by the fact that my chalmar beef sirloin arrived medium rare after I stressed that I wanted it very rare!

This was our second visist to Faber in Paarl, and once again it was a fantastic experience.
We had a quick wine tasting first in order to choose something to complement our meal, and we chose the Brut Cap Classique which was stunning !
The service was polite and friendly, and the food was amazing.
I have to say...

Lunch today at Faber did not disappoint. We booked for Restaurant Week and their menu was just delicious.

Our waiter, Prince was extremely well spoken and friendly. His knowledge of the menu was perfect. His support team was equally good.

We had a selection of breads - seed loaf, sour dough and lovely fresh sweet potato fritters with beef fat. The fritter were so fresh we asked for a second round. Our starter - Ceres chestnut velouté, Avondale duck kromeski and homemade mustard. Mains - Roasted free range chicken breast, cracked corn, green tea velouté and herb salad. This I can say was the best chicken dish I've had in years. Tender and juicy with a crispy skin. The other main dish was the Aged Chalmar beef sirloin, onions: charred, pickled and puréed.

Absolutely no doubt this remains on our revisit list.
