Fodor's Review:

This 19th-century building adjoins the gracious manor house at Groot Constantia, the Cape's oldest wine estate. The Malay platter provides a hearty taste of the Cape's culinary heritage with bobotie (spiced minced beef studded with dried fruit and topped with a savory baked custard), lamb curry with sambals (condiments), chicken breedie (tomato-based stew), samosas, fish cakes, cinnamon-spiced butternut, rice, and papadum (crispy flatbread). Smoked snoek (fragrant Cape oily fish) páté is a good way to start your meal. A wide selection of contemporary dishes, such as fig-and-coppa (Italian sausage) salad, is also available. The South African dessert melktert, or milk tart—similar to baked custard—is both traditional and delicious.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
