For the ultimate food experience, look no further than Gåte at Quoin Rock…

Gåte is a fine-dining restaurant situated at Quoin Rock Wines, a short drive from Stellenbosch, South Africa.

This was hands down the best restaurant experience I have ever had in my life. I have travelled and wined and dined at various places around the world, however Gåte is more than exceptional.

From the stupendous views, to the divine interior and architecture, Gåte is absolutely magical. Their wine is first class, in fact it is some of the best wine I have had. The food encapsulates the true essence of the creative Michelin Starred Chef Rikku’s travel experiences.

I do not even have the words to describe how amazing my experience was. In fact, I left with literal happy tears in my eyes. To all the chefs and staff in general – you are inspirational and more than sensational. I will see you in The World’s 50 Best…

YU Asian Restaurant – a contemporary Asian dining experience in the heart of Cape Town…

YU Asian Restaurant is located in the ONYX Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa. Yu offers contemporary Asian dining in a relaxed setting with dishes like sushi and dim sum.

My partner and I booked for dinner at the restaurant and received a lovely table with a view of the chefs and close to the bar. The restaurant was dimly lit and had a warm and cozy ambience.

The friendly waiter recommended their top dishes and assisted us to choose the perfect bottle of wine.

The menu is tapas style, so we ordered a bunch of different dishes and sides and shared it all. We had the most delicious sushi, dim sum, calamari, bao buns, Asian fries and more.

We ended off our dinner with a coconut sago pudding to share and it was divine!

YU is a true hidden gem in the heart of Cape Town and is a must-visit when looking for an Asian meal in the mother city.

Idiom Restaurant – The perfect place to enjoy Italian-South African wines and panoramic views of the cape vineyards.

The friendly hostess greeted us and showed us to our table which had uninterrupted views of the mountains. We ordered the 3-course menu with a wine pairing.

The chef served a delicious bacon jam crostini as an amuse bouche while we were enjoying our glass of prosecco. As a pre-starter to share, we had the Cape bream and tomato ceviche paired with an easy-drinking pinot grigio wine. We then had the lamb paccheri as our starter which was paired with a sangiovese wine.

For mains we had the Beef short rib which was perfectly paired with their cape blend wine.

For dessert we had the coconut panna cotta which was paired with their dessert wine. The chef also treated us to a delicious lemon macaron after our dessert.

Each course was perfectly paired with Idiom’s finest wines. The sommelier was extremely passionate about wines and gave us a tour of their tasting room and cellar after our lunch.

What a stunning property, thank you so much to the Idiom Team for this great food experience, I will be back soon!
