What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Deli Restaurant at Boschendal is celebrated for its farm-to-table freshness, with standouts like charcuterie boards and baked goods, all enjoyed in a charming setting under the trees. The Malva pudding and breakfast options are also frequently praised. However, some visitors have noted that service can be slow or inattentive, and a few found the food quality or value to be disappointing on occasion, especially compared to other options in the area.
"4/5 – Boschendal Deli
The Boschendal Deli offers a beautifully curated farm-to-table experience with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The charcuterie boards and baked goods are standout highlights, and the wine selection pairs perfectly with just about everything on the menu. The vibe is relaxed, perfect for a countryside brunch or laid-back lunch.
Only downside? The service can be a bit slow or inattentive at times, which takes away slightly from the overall experience. Still, definitely worth the visit for the food and setting alone."

"Love this little restaurant and actually went there by default because their main wine tasting and restaurant building was under construction I believe. Wish they listed that somewhere before I drove all the way out but the menu at Deli did not disappoint and the service was great. I am always hunting for the Malva pudding with plenty of custard like the way we made it at home and this was a winner!!! Loved it"

"We went off to Boschendal for lunch today. What a beautiful place in general. A Farm shop, a home shop and of course somewhere to eat. We ate under the mountains and Oak trees. The weather was perfect. I had the Yellow tail fish, an absolute treat. My husband had the Babotee. He said the best he's ever had.
The staff were phenomenal, they knew the menu and made excellent decisions.
Thank you all for making our outing so memorable. We will most definitely be back. 🌸🦋🌸"

Restaurants in The Western Cape and Winelands
Reserve well in advance for the buffet lunch here at one of the Cape's most beautiful and historic wineries. A wide selection of soups, quiches, and pâtés prefaces a bewildering array of cold and hot main dishes, including pickled fish, roasts, and imaginative salads; traditional Cape dishes are well prepared. End with an excellent sampling of South African cheeses and preserves or a quintessentially Cape dessert such as malva pudding.
