Rust en Vrede Review

I have been here for lunch a few times. Each time the service and the food is exceptional. The menu has expanded to 3 choices. I had the new peppered fillet cooked medium which melted in the mouth. I gave my wine to a friend as I was driving. We had coffee which came with "cook sisters".

The reason I haven't given 5 stars is for the lack of social distancing. There were a number of empty tables yet a couple sat immediately next to us. Not back to back and definitely not 1.5m apart. It seemed guests were choosing where they wanted to sit rather than being told.

3 options on mains, good selections of reds, actually this is a red wine specialist.

I truly wish I could rate Rust en Vrede with 6 stars; their food is excellent every single time and their staff is so helpful and friendly. It is especially wonderful sitting outside under the trees, beautiful ambience all around.

The epitome of South African hospitality. The rolling hills and vineyards create the perfect backdrop to the start of the meal. The high ceilings and history on the walls create a level of expectation that is not disappointed. 6 courses with wine pairing shows the sommelier really understood the menu. 4 of the 6 dishes were absolutely memorable (tuna sashimi with satay sauce, what a surprise!) and the last 2 may have lacked in uniqueness but made up for in technical precision. Most memorable taste of the evening was a cheese taster with an incredible pickled guava, must try. Five star service, well done to the entire team.

Fantastic vibe
Great food
Awesome wines.
Bread sticks or a warm roll with butter would hv been a special ' touch' with wine tasting- pre lunch.

Went for wine tasting and some platters. Speedy service and friendly staff. Very nice setting on the deck or inside.

Spend a nice afternoon here. Honestly many South African red wines disappoint me (the wine farms are more about the ambiance), but here the wines were very delicate and tasteful. The lunch was also good . Not to mention the view.

One of my favourite wine estates. Great wines, service and knowledgeable staff that makes visiting this wine estate a great pleasure to experience. Mostly top end red wines and a restaurant that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime.

Such a good ambiance under the trees. However there were only 3 selections for lunch. But the real star was the red wine! The 2018 wine tasted as if it has been sitting for at least 5 years. The dessert wine was also to die for! Bought 3 bottles on the way out... A must try! All 9 of us fell in love with their dessert wine. Hope to come back soon and try their promising wine tasting.
