Family-style Italian and meat dinners at Babylonstoren

About

Old Bakery is a restaurant in Paarl at Babylonstoren offering set-menu dinners served family style from wooden boards. Our dinners feature seasonal produce harvested directly from the farm gardens alongside our estate wines. On Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings, we prepare four-course Italian meals with antipasti, traditional Tuscan dishes, and wood-fired pizzas topped with farm water buffalo mozzarella. On Wednesday and Sunday nights, our five-course Carnivore Evenings feature cuts from our grass-fed Chianina herd cooked over glowing coals.

I wanted to write a proper review. First and foremost, I’d like to thank Jonathan, DJ, and Lamille for the most amazing service ever. It was a steak night, but they were more than accommodating for my vegetarian diet. The alternative food they made was absolutely DELICIOUS. It was some of the most beautiful and tasty food ever. Every bite got better, not joking. The food is super fresh, as a garden to fork location. The atmosphere is also unbelievably beautiful. At night the stars accompany you for your meal with lovely music, lively service and excellent wine. I would come back every day if I could.

Exceptional food, atmosphere and service. One cannot hope for a more perfect evening with a roaming opera singer, produce from the farm (cold meats, chargrilled vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, mouth-watering mozzarella), the best pasta and pizza you will ever eat (with unusual toppings) and an atmosphere of authenticity and abundance in the most beautiful setting. Everything Babylonstoren does is just perfect and remains unrivalled.

100/10 service, food, ambience. One of my most memorable birthday dinners. Jonathan and Lee were so knowledgeable, warm, and fun. The food was gorgeous, complex, and fresh. Can’t recommend them or this restaurant enough.

An Unforgettable Evening with Exceptional Service and Outstanding Food! We had a fantastic experience at the old bakery at Babylonstoren today as a group of friends. From start to finish, everything was perfect – from the wonderful atmosphere to the exquisitely curated Italian menu, where every course was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. A special highlight of our evening was our waiter, Jonathan. He was not only incredibly friendly and attentive but also super funny and went above and beyond to accommodate all our wishes. His warmth and charm truly made our night even more special – a true host with a passion for great service! A huge thank you to the entire team for this amazing experience. We will definitely be back!

Came here for a Carnivore evening and it was more an experience than a dinner, the staff are so friendly and upbeat that they were like new friends by the end of the evening, unparalleled service.
