If there’s one thing we love about the Western Cape, it’s the food – and foodie experiences – that one can enjoy in this beautiful province.
From small town ‘boerekos’ to chic Mother City offerings to unique food and wine pairings and cosy eateries in the Winelands – Western Cape locals and visiting travellers are spoilt for choice with delicious eateries, filled with enchanting ambiences.
So, take a foodie road trip with us to discover these unmissable food destinations:
Die Kantien (Stellenbosch)
In true Bertus Basson style, everything this South African food master touches turns to culinary gold. The same can be said for Die Kantien, his new chilled, yet trendy biker bar situated in Stellenbosch.
Die Kantien, a playfully biker-themed lunch- and dinner-spot, offers a tasty range of food- and drink-offerings – in particular, their cold beers, cool cocktails and popular pizzas (which some are hailing as the best pizzas in town)!
Other snack and large meal highlights include: cheese grillers, pickled mustard, bread and butter pickles; baked mac n cheese with smoked provolone; and baked smoked provolone, chilli and honey. So, while the vibe may be relaxed and humble at Die Kantien, the food is anything but!
Hit the open road on your bike and visit Die Kantien – or even, rock up with the whole family (squeezed into the family car).
Either way, you are sure to receive a roaring welcome and enjoy a memorable food experience in Stellies.
