Constantia is heating up this winter with fantastic dining options
Isn’t it funny how the simplest experiences can leave such a lasting impression on ones memory? Well at least this has been our encounter when reviewing some of South Africa’s most established restaurants. Likewise when chefs and restaurant owners try too hard and complicate dishes, you can taste it on the tip of your tongue. And it doesn’t taste good! This is definitely not the case with our two fantastic dining options in Constantia. These eateries are uncomplicated, inviting, enticing and oh so tasty!
Our first dining option in Constantia: Botanicum Cafe & Grill
If easy cafe style eating is your thing then Botanicum has a menu that is sure to impress. From delectable sandwiches and wraps to mouth-watering, homemade sourdough pizza, there’s something for everyone.
The restaurants interior is beautifully decorated with a minimalist, Parisian style that is warm and inviting. When entering your eyes are immediately drawn to a magnificent copper and wood bar at the entrance. The perfect location for a quick after-work whisky and pizza.
Weather permitting we recommend dining in the outside patio area to enjoy the full Constantia country vibe.

Our second dining option in Constantia: Simon's Restaurant
While the decor is far from simple, this distinctive establishment is one of our top 10 dining destinations in Constantia for good reason. In addition to the seriously scrumptious food, their location on the grounds of Groot Constantia is tranquil and sublime.
The restaurant commands stunning views of the surrounding gardens from most tables. Furthermore there is a massive fireplace that generates a magical atmosphere during the cold winter evenings.
#HelloRecommends: following them on social media for weekly updates as they have numerous events. Tapas Tuesdays, Thursday Burger night and live music three times per week, to name a few.
