delaire graaf has to have one of the bestviewsin the world. it is worth stopping by just for theviewsalone. the wine tasting is fantastic and provides an awesome opportunity to enjoy the outlook without forking out for the restaurant.
the crown jewel of the delaire graaf estate has to be the restaurant, withviewsfor days, delicious wines and a fine dining experience fit for royalty, it has to be one of the most outstanding restaurants i have visited.
our meal at delaire was incredible – everything was beautifully presented (like little works of art) and the different flavours and textures made for an experience straight out of foodie heaven. from the miso butter and the parsley hummus served with the bread to the foams and crumbles with the mains, i finally get what they are talking about on masterchef!
my conscience requires that i point out now that foams and crumbles come with quite a hefty price tag, but for me the cost was well worth the experience and you really do get what you’re paying for – breathtaking views, excellent service, delicious food and some great wine to boot. all in all it was an incredible sunday with good friends in the cape winelands. life could be worse.
