Buitenverwachting - Lakeside

Love love love this gem of a place. For only R580 650 pp depending on which course you get we were blown away. We’re not usually a fan of set menus and fine dining places as their portions are usually miserably small but the portions were so satisfying here! My bf and I found ourselves smiling the whole time and really enjoyed every dish that was presented in our set course. 3 hours passed by here like nothing. I mean just look at the pics, truly Culinary Art on a plate!! The colors and flavors were remarkable and we were so happy what we got for the price our fave dishes we’re definitely the thai style sashimi seared linefish (wow the flavors on that still linger in my mind) and the steak on the menu offering was so tender and soft to each bite. The service was also wonderful we had a incredibly hospitable waiter and he was so understanding of all my allergies and didn’t make me feel like a hassle at all, the chefs were so kind to customize to my egg allergies which is a hard one. very helpful about my egg allergies and customized order on the spot as chef cooks from scratch Will be back sooon and have already recommended to all my other couple friends who are in need of a romantic meal together.

We had lunch with a wonderful view to the vineyard. Food was great, service was on point. The waitress was very nice and friendly.

Expensive? Yes. Distance from CBD? Yes. But worth it. Simple the best service I have experienced in Cape Town. Food and wine pairing was divine. Bread plate very good. Meat selection pulled me from my recent vegetarian bender and it was delicious. The menu changes and we were there for new years brunch/summer menu. Recommend walking grounds a bit after to enjoy the atmosphere. Recommend and would return occasionally (big budget needed).

Wonderful fine dining experience at Beyond Restaurant. Unpretentious dishes complimented each element on the plate amazingly. Staff were attentive, and each course was delicious. Our favorite was the Brisket and Truffle Aioli and the Chicken and Duck Roulade worth the visit, and the views into the vineyard are beautiful.

As expected, super nice. They have so many details nailed down. The view and space is mesmerizing and so are the dishes plating. The only course that gave me some trouble were the desserts, just a little too much going on. (Not enough to put them down a star though, they were still very good) It is supeerrrr expensive but I thought it was worth the price. And the staff was amazing as well, they helped get us a ride out of there as not many Ubers are around the area. My final verdict? Go there for a very special occasion and be ready for a really amazing dining experience at quite the cost.
