The food at The Kitchen Door was amazing! There was a great variety to choose from, and everything we ordered arrived hot, fresh and quickly. A really enjoyable meal in a lovely setting at Gabriëlskloof Wine Estate. Definitely worth a visit, we’ll happily be back for more soon! 🙌🏻

Highly recommend! The food is honest and delicious - modern enough to feel fancy but at the same time shows a deep understanding of what people really want to eat. Slight mediterranean style, presentation is stunning, excellent quality and delicious. Atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing with perfect service. Gabrielskloof provides the most beautiful setting and wine. I suspect the popularity to grow and grow as they cater for all expectations - farmer to jetsetting tourist would feel well and comfortable at The Kitchen Door.

Jen Ward's culinary experience at The Kitchen Door was sensational for us today. The food was truly delicious. My sirloin steak dish done medium rare was melt-in-the-mouth. My wife's Cape salmon was mouthwateringly good. Our Gabrielskloof chenin blanc and syrah wines were perfect complements. The service, headed by the wonderful Janis, was friendly, prompt, professional and attentive without being intrusive. The whole establishment exuded an atmosphere of gentle and sincere enjoyment. Go there for a lovely time.
