The Winter tasting menu at De Kloof is a very enjoyable experience. The first impression of ambience is great, the lighting isn’t too bright and the decor isn’t modern or outdated, it’s just comfortably itself. The service immediately impressed me.Another thing that impressed me is how seamlessly the restaurant incomperates ingredients to reflect the season that might not be conventional. The execution of different cooking techniques also impressed me greatly. No dishes felt gimmicky or forced either, which was a great relief compared to some fine-dining establishments.We started off with a shiitake mushroom soup with the most divine grana padano profiteroles and thyme gel. The wine pairings were fantastic. Afterwards, we moved onto harissa butterfish with more gorgeous wine. Then, wild boar ravioli (my absolute favorite!) followed by delicious filet and kudu cigars. The best was dessert, an ode to butternut. It featured butternut malva and sorbet, balanced with honeycomb and butterscotch. Cognac topped it off and the meal was complete.The service truly is great, albeit a bit slow. I’ll definitely be returning!
Our family visited De Kloof Restaurant a while back. We had an amazing time! We had their 5 course tasting menu with paired beverages. The experience was absolutely amazing! Even though their prices are very high, it really is worth it for a special occasion. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere!
This is such a hidden gem. I am so glad we found it when we did. We chose this venue for dinner, however I think a Sunday lunch might be even more beautiful for the picturesque views.Food was delicious and made to order,just how I love it. The waitress was very sweet and kind. She knew her wines and was such a pleasure to engage with. The was a calming ambience. It was a great overall experience, mind the drive if you are travelling from the north.
We enjoyed our dinner at De Kloof. We visited them for the first time (restaurant week). I can imagine it would be nicer to have lunch at this restaurant because of the view, at night it’s a bit disappointing, not so much atmosphere. The menu they put together for restaurant week was nice, the service was not always professional. When we asked for the wine pairing they did ask us whether we would like an aperitif. We had to ask for this ourselves. The chef did come to our table to get feedback which is much appreciated.
The meal ended with rain and thunder. It was probably nature’s way of expressing our feelings of the experience.Fine dining is expensive but you would at least expect the service and quality of food to be at it’s best. I think I can safely say that this was the WORST dining experience ever.Perhaps it was just our luck but the experience was really unpleasant.The food arrived 1 hour 30 minutes later. They did try to give complimentary sorbets for the wait but I think by then we were already in a bad mood. The steak was medium when we ordered a rare.The rice was uncookedThe salmon portions weren’t that great either.I think once is more than enough. 🙁
