Nederburg presents the country-style restaurant, The Red Table, situated in its iconic manor house, a protected heritage monument. It has been passionately created in collaboration with well-known Cape Town foodie, Andrea Foulkes, and offers locally-sourced, fresh food in a comfortable and historic atmosphere.
During the summer months, the restaurant spills out onto the manor house terrace and sprawling gardens, set against the backdrop of vineyards and the towering Drakenstein Mountains.
With fireplaces ablaze during the winter months, the plush and comfortable interior of the manor house is the perfect setting for relaxed meals shared with family and friends when chilly outside.
Head chef Lisa Cilliers’ à la carte menu places the accent on tasty, simple but superb eating with flavours to match the award-winning range of Nederburg wines.
Signature favourites include starters such as green bean, avocado and bocconcini baby leaf salad topped with poached egg, toasted almonds and light lemon dressing; smoked smoor snoek and cauliflower rice, lightly curried with sambals, green chutney and sweet potato crisps; and slaphakskeentjie tart tatin with chevin cream. Starters range in price from R65 to R95, with some offered as main course options.
