Organic fine dining at Avondale Wine in Paarl

About

FABER is a fine dining restaurant in Paarl located on Avondale Wine estate. Led by chef Dale Stevens and proprietor Johnathan Grieve, our kitchen prepares both à la carte dishes and multi-course tasting menus driven by organic and biodynamic ingredients. We harvest vegetables, fruits, herbs, and eggs directly from the on-site garden, and our cellar pours Avondale's estate wines alongside a broader regional wine list. Guests can dine inside by the fireplace or outside on our terrace.

The best food I’ve tasted since arriving in South Africa! Vibrant, fresh and bursting with flavour, every dish reflects the natural beauty and spirit of its surroundings. This is the kind of place that leaves you wanting to step into the kitchen and personally congratulate the talented people behind such exceptional creations. A truly memorable culinary experience!…

Not sure why it took me so long to visit Faber. It was a very rainy Sunday but the fire was lit and the dining room was very cosy You can do a tasting menu but everything is available à la carte. Service was very good. All the estate wines are available, with a good variety by the glass. But also a much wider wine list. We chose a Pinot Noir from Elgin Food is country style fine dining. Good selection across the menu. I went with the tamarind and ginger glazed pork belly. Followed by the pan roasted blesbok loin with baby onions, onion purée, charred broccoli and green peppercorn jus. We didn’t have room for a dessert Service was excellent and I shall definitely be back in summer to sit on the terrace

Faber is hands down my favourite restaurant in the Western Cape. Every visit just confirms it again. The food is exceptional, the service is sharp without ever feeling stiff, and the setting is nothing short of a dream. What I really appreciate is that this place actually gets fine dining: it’s not about unnecessary show, but about great food, a well-trained team, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay just a little longer. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to—and recommending to anyone who will listen.

A really great experience. The atmosphere is charming and the food was simply amazing. We had de 6 courses menu and highly recommend it without any doubt. The service also was really attentive since they even moved us to another table so we could enjoy the experience even more :)

The attention to detail is impressive from the glass of bubbles put into our hands the moment we stepped in. We were highly recommended by our hostess to eat dinner here & it lived up to the recommendation. Food was beautifully presented and wonderfully cooked. And we will be back!
