Gate At Quoin Rock - Stellenbosch

WOW! A full score. You can't make me happier when craftsmanship and creativity come together. What a pleasant surprise! Ended up here unexpectedly, we wanted a restaurant with fine dining close to our stay. And that's it! What a beautifully designed restaurant in a truly spectacular setting, with a view on Simonsberg. The fact that this decor and environment is inspiring is fully evident from the creativity of the chefs! What a beautiful dishes, visually a feast for the eyes, making each dish a work of art. The quality of the food is excellent and also excellently prepared. The dishes are so tasty and balanced, truly beautiful! Just as breathtaking as the view and the interior of the restaurant. Pure perfection. Never over the top. These people know their trade. As well as the rest of the staff. Kitchen, service, everything runs smoothly, there is good communication. All in all, this restaurant guarantees an enjoyable experience! Go for the full eight course experience, I would say! Definitely worth at least one #Michelin star #finedining #hautecuisine

A very affordable fine dining experience! We went there for lunch to enjoy the beautiful view the restaurant has to offer. It was pretty empty at noon but it filled up afterwards. The staff is very nice and the interior is decorated with taste. We went for the reduced tasting menu which already had 5 different meals and two starters. All meals are carefully presented and there’s a real attention to the sauces, which were all really tasty. The wine pairing was interesting but I didn’t understand why the only white wine was proposed between three reds. But we got to taste the house wines which is why we were there. The price is very affordable as the menu pairing only cost us 100 EUR each. We’ll be back for the full tasting menu!

Absolutely outstanding top notch restaurant that would surely earn at least 1 Michelin star if not 2! Be sure to try the 7 course menu with their wine pairings (Quoin Rock and Knorhoek. The venue is also beautifully designed overlooking the valley.

Our dining experience at Gåte was nothing short of extraordinary. The elegant decor and breathtaking views of the vineyard provided an enchanting backdrop for an unforgettable evening. The innovative and beautifully plated dishes took our taste buds on a culinary journey, showcasing the skillful artistry of the talented chefs. Each course surprised and delighted us, blending unique flavors and textures effortlessly and to complement our meal, the sommelier expertly paired each course with superb local wines, enhancing the flavors and creating a harmonious experience.

A very nice and pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. The service is immaculate and the venue is pristine. It is expensive ranging from an average spend of R800- R1200 per person but you’re not coming here for value, you’re coming here for an experience. We were treated very well by Noel and Amos during the lunch ceremony. Very tasty flavors, interesting dishes, almost artistic I would say. The venue is clean and upper class. Well furnished with an extraordinary view. We went wine tasting afterwards and the service was friendly and entertaining. I bought too much wine but couldn’t resist. The blends are really good. The white blend is possibly the best of all with a floral nose and great palate.
