Outstanding Christmas meal! Very friendly staff and service outstanding! Only 1 but - it is a pet friendly place and that is a plus as long as your fur baby is on a leash. Unfortunately some local residents do not follow this rule creating chaos to visitors with pets on a leash. Please enforce this rule?

Enjoying your place to bits! Lovely crowd, great and caring service! Just down to earth, great, hardworking people who put heart in what they are doing! Passion all over! Thank you so much! See you tomorrow!

I simply LOVED all of it! We were attracted there by the Paella special (on point!), but their Verdelho wine was a new, memorable discovery. Service lovely - friendly & knowledgeable. A great evening out! Thank you! We will be back. Often!

They have a fireplace and the best wine selection. We were able to watch an international Springbok rugby match in comfort.

Wonderful people, and amazing wine! You feel like family. Very special experience. *and the little biltong and droëwors shop on the premises mind blowing (especially the chilli droëwors). #Happiness

Really good food! Pizza was out of this word! Service was outstanding! Thank you so much for making our experience delightful

Great hospitality in the beautiful town of Riebeek Kasteel. Lourens was a great host and understand what the true meaning of service is. Lovely outside area to sit and relax. Stunning selection of wines at reasonable prices. Food was good value for money. Worth a try.

Lourens is an amazing host. Friendly, funny and just an awesome person. The vibe is chilled food is great, the platters are fantastic. A must visit.
