Cape Town Daily Photo

We took a short trip through Stellenbosch and across the Helshoogte mountain pass to the DeHugenote estate where we enjoyed one of the best lunches we’ve had in ages. Isn’t the view from the restaurant the best? I found it difficult to capture the real splendor – but hopefully the photo is good enough to give you a feeling for how beautiful it was.

Even though the food is fine-dining, the main and desert was enough to leave me full and not wanting for anything else. Lunch wasn’t cheap, nor was it outrageously expensive. The (particularly-awesome) Chalmar Beef Sirloin cost R120 and Banana Split dessert cost R40.

If you’d like a delectable lunch and good service in the countryside, then DeHugenot Estate is certainly worthy of a visit.
