My colleagues and I had a great function at Groot Phesantelkraal. I would highly recommend this venue if you are planning to host a event for a bigger group of people. Staff and food was 10/10!

We went to Groot Phesantekraal restaurant for breakfast this morning for a friend's 70th birthday and what an exceptionally pleasant experience...the waiter Hakeem Kelvin John did his best to make us feel welcome and surprised us with a 5 star quality service...we will definitely come back for a reunion...

Lunch was delicious with style in the exquisite restaurant atmosphere with open glass door views. A variety of special dishes with descent portions and nicely priced. The wine tasting room was the best I ever experienced. It has a sense of class, yet comfortable and welcoming that you can sit and enjoy your wine tasting or a glass or two with friends and pass a lovely weekend time. All wines are of excellent quality especially their Sauvignon Blanc and wooded range. It was a fantastic time well spent to relax in close proximity to metro area. Thank you, definitely will return.

Groot Phesantekraal Wines & Restaurant About 10 minutes from central Durbanville. A little off my own beaten track but a great way to spend a warm sunny Saturday - well, warm enough, I guess.’ Great service - chose a glass of their bubbly and Jen had a carafe of their rosé - rosé on the more sophisticated than most side and very pleasant and generous glass of cap classique. Followed immediately by an excellent bread board with two spreads - whipped butter and a very purple emulsion that tasted absolute incredible - and included blueberries! Bread was a sweetish mosbolletjie-type with a perfect crust. Some smoked olives and pickled cucumber completed the board. No limitations on what you mix and match so we went for venison tartare with a side salad and beef pickled tongue with extra crisped potatoes. The tartare also had big homemade crisps as an accompaniment. Two chocolate cremeaux and an espresso each completed an excellent lunch. R1000 for two including tip. Hot tip: Book during in advance it’s very well known (in the northern parts) and very popular. Very shy chef - difficult to find a name - will keep trying!

Groot Phesantekraal offers a charming and intimate wine tasting experience. While it may not cater to the most adventurous palates, it’s perfect for those looking to explore new wines in a cozy setting. The glass structure is beautiful, with a central bar and inviting tasting nooks that create a warm atmosphere. The tomato and basil flatbread is a must-try, and the cheese board, though fruit-heavy, is picture-worthy. However, there are no coat hooks for rainy days, and one side of the glass structure faces the parking lot, which can be a slight downside. Still, this spot is ideal for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxing day out. Highly recommend for repeat visits!
