Falling just short of the Top 10, the Constantia restaurant came in at number 11, with many delectable reviews left by diners.

“This was one of the best dining experiences! It was a ten course meal that included delicious oysters, beef tartare, chicken and beautiful dessert. Coupled with the incredible views of the restaurant and the walk around the vineyard, I would say that this is a once in a lifetime experience.” said Natasha Kipepeo.

“Absolutely incredible meal, from start to finish. The service was impeccable and every course immaculate. It isn’t a short sitting as we were there for 4 hours, but if you are looking to enjoy the theatre of the meal and want to engross yourself in it, it’s the perfect place. Also as a note the server was great fun and made the evening for us.” gushed another diner.
