Bistro dining under a wild fig tree on Hooggelegen Farm

About

Wilde Vy Bistro is a restaurant in Durbanville situated on Hooggelegen Farm along the local wine route. Our dining area is arranged around a wild fig tree, with indoor, semi-outdoor, and outdoor seating alongside our dedicated bar. Led by executive chef Jürgen Snyman, our kitchen prepares menus featuring small plates, raw dishes, fire grill items, and vegetarian selections. We also serve a late breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, a dedicated kiddies menu, and a Chef's Sunday Roast. Guests can order cocktails, mocktails, local wines, bubbly, and desserts such as lava cake while seated at dining tables or outdoor couches overlooking the grounds. We are closed on Mondays.

Wilde Vy Bistro is a very special South African fine dining experience! The attention to detail is very evident! Signal Gun is a venue with an historic background. The setting and venue are awesome, as can be seen from the photos. The staff are very welcoming and very obviously proud of their association with the venue. We watched the staff setting up for a wine tasting. The painstakingly attention to detail was impressive. Each glass was polished and specifically placed. Blankets were folded and refolded, and placed on the back to each chair. We also noticed that every member of staff were obsessed with the settings of each table. We were early and very tables were occupied. In passing, the staff made small adjustments to the settings.

Popped in for a cocktail and a dessert while enjoying the canon firing. The lava cake did not have a runny centre, but it made up for that with flavour. Was quite tempted to order it again. Cocktails were good. Canon firing was entertaining, unfortunately not everyone respects the show and were quite chatty in the background. Just keep in mind the notes regarding the bill, so that you don't get a shock when it's time to pay. I'd say it's worth a trip.

Spectacular view, great atmosphere and nice location. The food we had was absolutely delicious. Nice variety of wine and not badly priced. Menu could have a few more options but whats there is very tasty.

A hidden gem. The venue is inpeccable. Indoor, semi outdoor and outdoor seating. There is also a bar facility. Guests are met at the entrance and shown to their tables. There is couch seating available outside. Beautiful lush green surroundings and a lovely view. The food was really great quality with vegetarian options. The waiters are well trained and have good knowledge of the menu. Great service. A nice selection of cocktails, mocktails, wines, bubbly, spirits and dessert drinks.

A great hidden gem in Durbanville. Fantastic views. The menu is quite refined so if you are looking for burgers and pizza, this is not for you. I thoroughly enjoyed the oysters for starters and the lamb rib with pap for mains. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding. Service was great. It was quite chilly sitting on the stoep in winter. Some outside heaters or infrared would be great.
