Eike By Bertus Basson - Stellenbosch

What an experience. A candle made out of beef fat burned onion ash to be enjoyed with bread; genius. The ostrich tartar was heavenly. My husband loved the mussels with its curry flavour. Service out of this world.

Would give 4,5 stars. Very nice fine dining in the heart of Stellenbosch. Small portions which I didn’t mind and very helpful sommelier with good guidance and explanation/recommendation. I’d say that the little starters were not the best in terms of flavors but only went up from there !

Fantasmagories!!! Easily the best meal I ever had. From the moment we walked in to the last bite we were impressed. Each dish was unique. And how they manage to generate so much flavour from a sauce is beyond me. My son's, who is studying to become a chef, evening (year in fact) was made when he went for a kitchen and behind the scene look. The professionalism and enthusiastic manner in which his questions were answered is commendable thanks Chef Astrid Although they didn't have a wine pairing with each dish the MC recommended some wines to compliment the meal as we went along excellent choices!!! Great experience

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Interesting to learn a bit more about South African cuisine and local ingredients. For my liking all the dishes were very salty, which made it hard to finish your plate.

Eike is probably one of the best restaurants in South Africa. From service to ambiance and perfect food and tastes, this a must-go place when visiting the Winelands region.
