Soup and Bredie Menu on offer at Knorhoek's popular restaurant from May till August. Towerbosch earth kitchen at Knorhoek Wine Estate, one of the best kept Winelands secrets outside Stellenbosch, is cooking up some heart warming winter comfort food with a new wholesome Soup and Bredie Menu on offer for pick-me-up lunchtime indulgences from May until.
This ‘blues-busting’ lunch menu on offer from Wednesdays till Saturdays in addition to the restaurant’s normal a la carte menu, will change on a daily basis depending on the mood and homemade pantry supplies of chef duo Westley Müller and Carmen van der Merwe.

Tuck into the rustic Soup of the Day followed by a wholesome, slow-cooked stew served with a glass of the estate’s playful Two Cubs Cape style red blend – all for just R90 per person. The al fresco, open braai next to the rock pool, is typical of the laid-back ‘Argentinean style braai which starts with empanada (filled pastries) on arrival followed by fresh breads and a myriad of succulent meat from the open fire served on big platters with delicious accompaniments including fat-roasted potatoes, cinnamon ‘soet pampoen’, slaphakskeentjies (pickled onions) and tomato and onion salad.

“We pride ourselves in ‘salt-and-pepper’ food bursting with natural flavours. Simple, slow cooked, traditional family meals served on big platters where everyone can help themselves to a delicious selection of heritage fare at their own table,” shares Westley.

“For us it is all about creating a memorable meal, built on the passion and vision of people who love the way they live and want to share it with you. Towerbosch takes you back to a nostalgic, old school dining experience of a lost era in South Africa,” adds Carmen.

The Sunday Asado lunch costs R165 per head. Reservations, especially for the Soup & Bredie indulgences, are essential. To book your table contact call (021) 865-2958 or send an email to towerbosch@knorhoek.co.za.
