This place is absolutely gorgeous and well worth the visit. We booed the private room suite and had the place for ourselves. Excellent service with the well warm fire, to the amazing service as soon as we stepped in. We shared some delicious fresh starters, big highlight was the lamb ribs and cured Norwegian salamon, done every nicely and each bite was enjoyable! We had the like fish which was kingklip for today and that was seared very nicely and served with a Devine tomato based sauce pairing very well with the fish. What a lovely evening and treat, great job to the team with the excellent detail to every dish and the surrounding space.

Consistently good, which is what keeps bringing us back. The range is unusually wide — pizza at one end, fine dining at the other — so it works well for friends and family gatherings where everyone wants something different. Good wine selection to go with it, and the garden seating is lovely on a warm day. Start with the ribs; they're the thing to order before anything else.

Went on a Friday night. Not too busy. Had the lamb and pizza. Had a private setting nice to catch up with everybody. Glady's looked after us so well. Food was awesome.

Volkskombuis is set in a beautifully restored historic building and serves classic South African dishes with a modern touch. I visited for breakfast and had a wonderful freshly squeezed orange juice alongside a cortado and the De Stellenbosch Breakfast. The food was delicious and the service attentive throughout. It’s a beautiful restaurant with loads of character and atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit when in Stellenbosch.

What are lovely restaurant in the heart of Stellenbosch. We were fortunate to sit outside on the stoep whilst it was raining. This was very special. We were six and we ordered a pizza, two of the homemade chicken pies, the whole baby chicken and some beef. All the food were very nicely presented and tasted even better than what it looked. For dessert we had the peppermint crisp cheesecake, creme brule and a Dom Pedro. Our wine was also special in that it was chilled to perfection, given the heat in Stellenbosch. All in all we had a great time! They even remembered that I told them we are celebrating my niece's birthday.
