We booked our picnic and arrived around 12:20 expecting that everting would be ready by 12 as confirmed in our booking We had to wait ... as it seems many others have had to do alsoThe picnic basket was uninspired and very average Plastic cutlery and plastic cups to drink wine are a real turn off Only 1 serviette to share? And no spoons for the dessert ... really?We won’t be rushing back to Solms Delta for a picnic There are many better places to choose from in this beautiful city

What a lovely setting but the worst service. Extremely slow staff and service, they have no idea what is on the menus or offered by the kitchen. Ordering tea took 3 efforts to get it right. The biggest disappointment in the Winelands.

We were really impressed on a visit two to three years ago. This time, features of the Music Museum at Solms Delta did not function. Staff outside the wine tasting venue on this hot day seemed half-hearted about visitors. The food in the Fyndraai restaurant was value for money, but the menu limited. Howwever, wonderful to sit on the verandah, in the shade, and the service at the restaurant was good. A couple of girls enjoyed sitting out on the lawn to eat. (Staff willingly moved chairs out for them.) A pity this social experiment, as a whole, seems to be struggling, at least partially through an apparent lack of marketing energy by the beneficiaries themselves. perhaps some additional training is required. A visit to the casual restaurant will still not disappoint, though!

We visited Fyndraai today with friends and enjoyed a pleasant relaxing Sunday lunch. The weather was great so we sat outside. We had Bobotie spring rolls to start and 'just enough to enjoy' mains (pork belly, paella and rack of ribs ) and the delish pineapple tart is a must for dessert(order your own -do not share!!) Zenobia served us and she was attentive and engaging and overall service was good. Together with easy drinking 'lekkerwijn' and good company, we had a very pleasant day at Solms-Delta.

Loved the venue. Sat out on the veranda over looking a big open lawn which was perfect for the children to play on.For starters we had the prawn and hake spring rolls and the Cape bobotie samosas. The spring rolls were big and crispy. They had a slightly fishy taste which I love but may be a bit much for some. The samosas were absolutely delicious! I would recommend them to share or if you are REALLY hungry.For mains we had the lamb rack and pork belly. Both were just amazing! They also have a kids menu which is great if you looking for a good spot for a family outing. The staff were friendly and on form. We loved our visit and will definitely be back.

First, the food was out of the world, just enough but tasteful. Services was 10/10. The venue is full of history. The wine tasting was also awesome and we enjoyed it very much. The Cape Jazz, what a wine . Definitely an Bucket List Wine

Had lunch yesterday at the Fyndraai Restaurant at Soms-Delta yesterday. Very tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere. Accompanying side were delicious and complimentary to the meal. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

We fail to understand how the owners and the management of Fyndraai restaurant succeed in serving such tasteless and uninspired food at such a high price. One of the explanations we have is that they only target tourists that will not come back in any case.We should have turned back when we saw greasy stains on the table, but decided to give it a try. What a mistake!The place was empty, we understood the reason why the minute the waitress brought the couscous, chickpea,etc... salads which were totally tasteless. We asked for some olive oil to add some flavour to it. We were off to a bad start. The waitress managed to make some more greasy stains on the wooden table when bringing the olive oil. As for the paella, it was very salty in a desperate attempt to give flavours that were lacking in the other main dish as well, a kingklip with waterblommetjies. We decided to skip dessert and asked for the bill as we wanted to put an end to this bad eating experience. We paid the heavy bill, got in our car and as we were driving along the restaurant building we saw one of the staff members of the kitchen urinating outside the kitchen door. We don't want to think about the hygiene of the kitchen. What a disappointment in a region with so many excellent restaurants!

Last Friday we felt like exploring Franschhoek. It was a lovely sunny day and we enjoyed the scenic drive to Solms-Delta where we would have lunch. When we entered the restaurant, called Fyndraai, a welcoming fire was burning in the fireplace. The restaurant was filled with elderly tourists who left after a while, leaving the two of us as the only remaining guests.The menu offered a couple of traditional dishes of which my wife ordered Kingklip which was served with Waterblommetjies. I ordered Paella. My wife’s dish was tasty, but my Paella was uninspired and unfortunately tasteless. We had to ask the waitron to light the citronella candles on the table as a couple of flies were very interested in our food.Then it was time for dessert. Something that we really dislike, is a hot dessert that is served cold. My wife’s very traditional Malva pudding could have been very tasty, but it was served cold. My old fashioned Milk Tart was fresh from the nearest supemarket.Why would someone have a restaurant like this in such a sophisticated area? With just a bit more imagination, it could be a beautiful venue with great food. It was a disappointing meal which came with a heavy bill. Sorry, but this was not a great experience. And please think again about the “background” music!

Friendly restaurant, part of the winery which is a must to visit. The atmosphere is quiet, peaceful and tranquil. Food is fantastic, innovative and used local ingredients for added flavour and context.
