Our aunt brought us here for a lovely lunch yesterday. The grounds were lovely, inside the restaurant was warm and cosy, absolutely perfect day for a casual, non pretentious lunch. Ample food to choose from on the menu. We had a beautiful bottle of Avontuur Reserve Shiraz for 240 Rand /$24Aud. For mains, we all had the beef fillet steak cooked with red wine mushroom sauce with vegetables and shared bowls of French fries. Desserts were lovely too... also had bottles of water and coffees for the three of us, and with 10% tips, all came to 1300 Rand / $130 Aud, just to give you an idea for tourists. Service was wonderful... steak was to die for, melt in your mouth kind of steak, at 190 Rand each. If you like your steak slightly pink inside, ask for medium.... I went for medium rare usually and it was a bit too rare still. Definitely a nice relaxing place to have lunch if you do not wish to travel as far out as Paarl and Franshoek.

We where there for lunch and I was not disappointedThe food was excellent as always and they must get first price for presentation,service was outstanding and in comparison with similar places their prices are still very reasonable,will come back there anytime ,even the friendly waiter that has been there for years,recognised us after a long time not having been

We went to The Avontuur Estate in May and words cannot describe how amazing our meals were. We loved all starters mains and desserts. The duck is most probably the best duck I have ever had in my life. The service, setting and atmosphere are second to none.The wines were exceptional.

Breakfast for a group of friends. Breakfast menu rather limited but dishes are very well presented and tasty. Service always friendly and efficient. Prices are on the steep side.

We have been to Avontuur several times and we have never been disappointed. Wonderful service, the food is excellent and a table in the garden is a must. The duck is an outstanding choice - eat it and enjoy - it cannot be better!

We booked a table for lunch,due to the cool weather we sat inside and could'nt really enjoy the view.We all found the waiter, David, strange. No interaction on such a vast menu. When my husband ordered 2 starters as his main meal,he quite obnoxiously said " both at the same time? " We were one of 3 tables so he had all the time in the world to try and interact with us.Our meals were OK, I had kingklip with artichokes served on a saffron veloute.The tinned artichokes were placed on top of the kingklip with no infusion of flavour. Generally a bland meal. The vegetable roulade was described as, not fresh.The thai mussel starter was good and the lambs kidneys with gnocci was delicious.There was no management on the floor to communicate with,the ambiance quite dull.with so much competition in the area, I would not return.

Always a good meal always value for money, friendly staff and a stunning view. A place to go back to.

We were lucky with the weather and sat outside to watch a glorious sunset and eat our meal. Avontuur is not open every evening of the week, check the website. It is open for lunch and breakfast. The menu is not extensive but varied and the quality of the food and flavours excellent. This is not nouveau cuisine where you leave hungry , the size of the portions are generous and the flavours and effort in preparing a a very balanced and delicious meal very much that of a high class restaurant.This is certainly a winery restaurant worth trying. They do not make a huge markup on their own beautiful wines, the serving staff are pleasant and attentive. The whole experience is very good.

We booked lunch and had a nice table outside with very nice views .they have a good menu with lots of choice wine menus was a little limited but it was all there own wine which was good Food cooked well and was very nice and the staff looked after us very well Lots of parking wine tasting and a great venue

For the first annual celebration for a new Tai Chi group we arranged for an hour of Tai Chi in front of the restaurant with the most distracting beautiful views. We ordered our breakfasts in advance and a wide selection of meals and coffees was timeously and tastefully served in an attractive outside area when we were ready .Everyone pleased with food and service and happy to return Specials on some wines when we were there and the wines are well worth buying.
