We have visited Vergelegen estate many times before but this was our first visit since the modernisation and oh it was such a disapointment. In the past we have enjoyed some wonderful lunches in the Lady Phillips restaurant looked after by attentive staff but for this visit we felt as though we were eating in an English motorway service station....

The Vergelegen Wine farm is a must to see in the winelands of South Africa. The gardens are beautiful with the most spectacular view of the mountains. The Stables restaurant is in this wonderful setting. Sit at your table and drink in the view, sip on the Vergelegen Sparkling wine (champagne) and enjoy glorious food from a good menu. Not... More

The Stables is not cosy and lacks atmosphere It is a big space giving it a canteen feel. One can see that much however was spent on decor The meals were not much to shout about and service lacking. Food took long to be served

Vergelegen is one of our treasures with a rich history and magnificent setting. This alone makes a visit worthwhile. If it hadn't been for the extremely well grilled sirloin clearly by a skilled chef I might have slated the restaurant. Staff need polishing, menu a bit too predictable and good communication with one's patrons is necessary. Long wait for food... More

Three of us visited this restaurant on a lovely afternoon for lunch. The menu is very simple but with plenty of choice. There are pizzas and burgers but also salads. The fish dish with olives and tomatoes is very good. Wines are available by the glass and desserts are also very good. Breakfast is also served. This restaurant appeals to... More

A small entrance fee to the Estate, where you are greeted with a welcoming smile as you pay, but a wonderful place to visit. A very calm place. Amazing trees….. and a wonderfully aromatic herb garden. Dining at the Stables was a real treat. Very friendly staff and, if you are lucky to be able to sit outside, you can... More

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was divine and the service perfect (even with a full restaurant). The wines where outstanding. I did note the place is kid friendly, so I will go back with the family. Thumbs up!
