Surrounded by vines and Franschhoek mountain views, The Country Kitchen is Mont Rochelle’s informal restaurant for light lunches, wine tastings with platters, or a picnic by the vineyard dam. In the heart of the estate and adjoining the wine-tasting room (a 10-minute walk or quick shuttle ride from the luxurious Virgin Limited Edition hotel), the relaxed vineyard restaurant has white-painted reed ceilings, walls adorned by nature-inspired, cork sculptures and a sense of simplicity and light. The wide front terrace is the place to soak up sunshine and views with the whole panorama of the Franschhoek valley laid out before you.
Laidback lunch
Locally sourced ingredients and simple, hearty flavours are on the menu here, with something to suit every appetite. Start with small-plate snacks such as black bean and corn taquito, chargrilled chicken wings or panko-coated camembert; or dive straight into mains of beef, chicken or vegan burgers, burrata and beetroot salad, poke bowls, a chorizo and mussel pot, a fillet steak, butter chicken or kingklip and chips.
