What a disappointment! Have had many good meals previously. 6 course wine pairing. Now they only wet your glass with wine and the portions became way to small even with fine dining and no attention to detail. Poor presentation. 12.5% service fee on this standard is not acceptable. Good service equals good tip. Way over priced on this standard. 3 x desserts on a 6 course meal very unusual.

After a great afternoon and winemakers lunch in the tasting room, we just had to go for the real deal - the Restaurant at Rust en Vrede.
We arrived on a beautiful late afternoon and had pre drinks outside. This is where our service problems started as I had to get up to find someone to take an order for our drinks. Even then we were left alone and eventually had to get up and asked to be taken to our table. We saw our waiter/s twice that evening - when we placed our order and when it was delivered to our table. We even had to ask for the bill at the end of the evening.
Despite that hickup - which I am sure is not their norm as the service in the tasting room the previous week was top class - I have to give them 5 stars. The food - what we came for - is Michelin quality. The wines - although pricey - world class. Ambiance the best in the world.
Go spoil yourselves there twice or 3 times a year. The money you pay for the experience will stay with you a lifetime.

A must visit if you are in the area,so much history and culture,details of the food,excellent,we will be back

From start to finish, this restaurant is OUT OF THIS WORLD! We enjoyed it so much last year, that we returned this year, and it is better than ever!
Well done team! I am yet to experience anything close to this calibre, anywhere else in the world!

Have visited Rust en Vrede many times for lunch and will continue to do so, but please bring back the triple cooked chips. Its no place for oven chips.
