Simon’s at Groot Constantia was the venue we chose for our wedding in January 2018. Thank you to Dawn and the management and staff at Simon’s. You made us and our 110 guests so happy. The food was amazing, our guests haven’t stopped talking about how great it was, with the fillet steak being a firm favorite. The service was fantastic from the pre drinks right through to the clean up at the end of the evening. Angelo was the perfect gentleman to serve us at the main table and made sure we were treated like royalty all night. Thank you once again and we look forward to our next meal at Simon’s. All the best, Clyde and Kerry.

The Taste Emporium Market is great - lots of choice for absolutely delicious food from unique vendors. One of only a few markets where vendors still make their products themselves, and believe in quality. A great deal of artisanal skill and deliciousness under one roof, and, of course all in the stunningly beautiful setting of one of CT's most gorgeous wine farms. Always a fabulous day out for the whole family.

I go to Simons every time I'm in Cape Town and its always a great afternoon out, fresh flavoursome favourites. This time i had the fish and chips and my friend had the pepper fillet, both were great and we had genuine friendly service. See you in a few months!!!

Great camembert burger. It was my first and I loved the originality and how well it worked. Wine was great as expected. The staff was very friendly as well. Even though we were a big group.

I had a great experience at Simon’s Restaurant. We received fantastic service in this well lit and open restaurant. I would have enjoyed some soft music to add to the atmosphere.

I shared the portion of fish and chips and the spinach and ricotta ravioli with a Neapolitan sauce.

The fish was beautifully battered and cooked perfectly. The tartar sauce was perfect as well as the delicious chips.

The ravioli was well cooked and flavorful.

I would definitely recommend a meal here.

We found ourselves at Simons on a cold rainy day.it was warm and cosy inside and we were welcomed by a very congenial manageress.
We shared a capresse salad which was fresh and very tasty and then settled for the artichoke and dried tomato linguine as well as the butternut and ricotta ravioli. Both dishes looked and tasted delicious.
Simons is an underrated destination and good for a relaxing wholesome meal in pleasant and quiet surroundings.

Great food, great wine, great service and a beautiful view.. Love this place.. I ordered the pork belly, which was to die for.. my boyfriend had the salmon, he loved it! Awesome place for a romantic day out with your significant other. And a bonus: the wine tasting is not too far from the restaurant

Pretty cool spot with some great menu options. We went here on New Year’s Day so we had to try their prime rib burger. It was simple and sublime. I did find the atmosphere a little dry but in that type of view it’s hard to feel uneasy.

Had been to this lovely restaurant after wine tasting @ Groot Constantia Wine Estate, We decided to have a meal as we were high and hungry after all the wine tasting ;)

We ordered Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli,Fried Salt & Pepper Calamari And Slow Braised Pork Belly. Both the dish tasted extremely well and made to perfection. The presentation of the food was top notch and the service and staff was remarkable. The ambiance and decor holds on to stay for longer. The location of the restaurant is mesmerizing and one can spend hours photographing it.

A solid old Constantia favorite. Not wildly impressive but decent. New menu is an improvement and the wine list is always good. It's hard not to enjoy a meal in this beautiful setting. The trick is to order simple dishes... Fish, steak, pork belly... They do the classics pretty well.

What an absolute pleasure visiting Simon's at Groot Constantia this past Wednesday. It was my first time and had decided to take my mom and fiancé out for the day and it was perfect. Service was slightly slow but from the stunning views and laid back atmosphere (and great music) to possibly the best steak I have enjoyed in years, everything was awesome and more than compensates and honestly, I just can't wait to go back!! A definite must if you love quality

Lovely location to enjoy a good lunch in the open air. The waitrons were very helpful and welcoming. The food looked amazing, the only downside was the burger definitely looked better than it tasted, it was just okay, nothing more nothing less in my opinion. The cheesecake was lovely, but and enjoyable experience all around.

I had such a lovely afternoon at Groot Constantia, mainly because of this lovely restaurant we had lunch at.

The service was impeccable, we had a lovely waiter who made great suggestions on what we should eat.

There was three of us and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal accompanied by a glass of bubbly.

I had the peri-peri chicken which was a 10 out of 10 in every way and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a little heat. The portion is also quite big as I shared it with my friend and we both left satisfied.

For dessert, we had the chocolate brownie which was a sweet end to a lovely lunch.

Sunday Market at the Simon's restaurant, another way of offering their delicious boards of cheese or cured meats, with or without wine pairings. There are many goodies available from the deli, the chicken mayo sandwich is excellent! Very little for vegetarians. There's a brilliant craft beer selection, and there are always oysters... Outside and inside is stunningly beautiful!🍃 perfect for a picnic spot or a stroll in the lawns👣

How amazing is this place. Take a stroll past the first deli at Groot Constantia beyond the duckpond and arrive at Simons. Nestled under the vines pergola it offers everything your hunger needs. Crisp tables and naturally awesome food and wine. Menus offer anything from a light lunch to something that meets the biggest hunger. I enjoyed their artichoke & sundried tomato linguine with parmesan, a lovely red and topping it off with a pud. Creme Brule! Well prepared with succulent ingredients this was a dine plus in my book.

Situated On the groot constantia vineyard, which has had 330 years of success, if my memory serves me correctly. We experience the most tranquil lunch. Wine was the primary selection so we ordered the Sauvignon blanc 2015 and pared it with the Cajun Patagonian calamari served with salad and black muscles with chips. The food was amazing, but the experience far worth while. The view you experience of the vineyard being met by a mountain is priceless. We proceeded to the wine and chocolate tasting, if I had done that then gone to lunch I would have opted for the Pinotage, and married it with a great South African steak.

My sister and I decided to celebrate the beginning of Cape Town's unbeatable summer and treat ourselves to lunch at Simon's! From the sophisticated restaurant setting to the happy wait staff to the delicious food, our expectations were exceeded. We did not have one allocated waiter but whoever did pour our wine, fill up our water glasses or deliver our food, the service was all round great. There was some confusion with our main order and we waited a little longer than expected but with such a beautiful and relaxing setting and the wine going down as well as it did, we didn't mind the wait! The prawns were on fire- literally. If you like your food with a chilli kick then you'd love these! We stayed on the healthier side of the menu, ordering salads for our main course that actually looked too good to eat! Basic ingredients but super tasty! I had my eye on the gourmet burger and when I go back next time I'll definitely try it. Thank you Simon's!!

Dec 27 lunch: After the visit and wine tasting at Groot, we managed to get a place at the resturant - its quite a big place and though it was summer, it was very pleasant to sit outside. The setting is so nice. There is a children's play area as well. Started with the Blanc de noir wine from Groot Constantia - nice rose wine. The side chips were crisp and with right amount of salt. Among the items we ordered and enjoyed were fish n chips, mushroom linguine, peri peri chicken and grilled prawns. Though veg options are limited, the food is really good. The mushroom dish is made of cream, white wine and herbs. The desserts literally took the cake. The choco mousse came with dipped wafer biscuits and tasted awesome. The new york based cheesecake came with ice cream and strawberry - nice. The service was quite good. A really enjoyable eating experience.

A group of friends and I decided to have a relaxed lunch here and were pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty, wine and food at Groot Constantia. We began with the wine tasting (paired with chocolates specifically designed for each wine) which we thoroughly enjoyed, and later moved on to Simon's for a late lunch. The food was good, however sometimes we did feel like it lacked abit of flavour. The favourite meals from the table were definitely the fish and chips and the steak.

Simon's Restaurant in Constantia is one of my favourite places to dine. The Mushroom Linguine is divine and the staff are amazing. I've never had a bad experience at this establishment. I ventured into this restaurant one day, purely because Jonkershuis Restaurant was fully booked...and boy what a blessing!

This morning my wife and I had a disgusting experience at a restaurant in Constantia with kitchen staff swearing at each other, slow service and a myriad of other problems that resulted in us leaving. We were on a tight schedule with a baby sitter and were dreading that we'd wasted our time together, but we hurried down the road to Simon's and THANK GOODNESS WE DID.

The service was 5/5
My prawns were 5/5
My wife's fish was 5/5
The experience was 5/5
The cheesecake was 10/5 ;)

Absolutely fantastic, and after our horrible experience at the other restaurant, Simon's made our day special and allowed us to forget about it.

Well done to Simon's and all the staff, outstanding.

This restaurant does not have the most brilliant menu or food that will make you wish you could eat forever; but I have been there many times and I have never eaten badly here. Always good quality service, good quality food and stunning atmosphere. Very spacious and large, and in winter sitting by the fire place and sipping on some good quality wine while slicing in to a medium cooked sirloin, never a bad decision.

Last week for our CT Food Challenge picnic experience, we decided to stay close to home and not venture out of the city itself. Wine estate of choice? Groot Constantia. Situated a mere fifteen to twenty minutes outside of the city centre, this spot had the appeal of being the perfect picnic place with minimal travel time required.

Went to Simons on a particularly stunning evening. The vines and iceberg roses lined the road to the restaurant. Shown to our table smartly and ordered drinks. Unfortunately the Stella draft had sold out.
All guests ordered starters from Cajun calamari to peri peri prawns. All yum.
For mains the table ordered peri peri chicken, pork belly, steak and kingklip. All delicious. The steak although it had a mushroom sauce, lacked seasoning. The chicken was way better than Dias Tavern.
The bill for 6 of us was R1800 with a tip.
We've been to Simons before. But I think this time they nailed it!

Luncheon at this beautiful venue set overlooking the vineyards of Groot Constantia is pure bliss. The estate is beautifully & lovingly maintained so taking a stroll around after lunch is a must. The menu offers delicious light meals and old favourites. Safe for kiddies to run around while you sip a light wine or crisp beer. Their seafood & salads are our favourite!

Simon's menu offers a unique spin on traditional South African dishes. Take for example, their spicy bobotie dumplings or fried salt and pepper calamari. I particularly enjoyed their soft and juicy slow braised pork belly with its mouth watering smokey jus. Coupled with the smooth Groot Constantia Merlot, it was certainly a memorable meal. The restaurant itself looked a tad shabby and could do with a bit of work but it's scenic setting alongside the sprawling vineyards by makes up for this. The servers are friendly, knowledgable and unobtrusive. A lovely place for a relaxed Sunday lunch.

Beautiful setting with plenty of space outside. We were a big group, but our waiter was very efficient and friendly. They were also very accommodating when were asked to be moved. For mains I had a fillet steak with pepper sauce, fries and an extra side of vegetables. The steak was lovely and done perfectly, but the portion of veg minimal. I chose the chocolate mousse for dessert and besides having a finger biscuit shoved oddly in the glass, it was tasty and satisfying.

I just came home from a wedding here at Simons. The starters were good, and the main- peri peri chicken was tasty. The bite sized cheesecakes and brownies were divine! Obviously a wedding is a slightly different situation to an everyday occasion at the restaurant, but it gives me a good incentive to come back. Service was also on point! And of course, the view was incredible!

My boyfriend took me here for a relaxing lunch on this overcast Saturday. Walking in, we were greeted cheerfully and helped to a table we wanted. Service was attentive but unobtrusive.
I enjoyed the burger, and added the cheddar and streaky bacon. It was good, but my word! The chips on the side were perfect.
My boyfriend chose the slow roasted lamb shoulder... it was the most fantastically perfect lamb dish. His knife was purely for display, as the lamb happily slid off at the poke of a fork in a gorgeous pink blush. It was the sort of thing you have dreams about.
Lovely lunch and experience. Will definitely be back.

A part of the Groot Constantia Wine Estate, Simon's Deli is the restaurant just behind the original homestead, now a museum and worth wandering through. By that time we were parched, so Simon's was just in the right place to have something cold to drink.
They prepare picnic baskets on order. A deli with fresh salads, bread, cheese and snacks are available for a spur of the moment picnic in the beautiful garden. With Groot Constantia wines, of course.

My friend Tanya and I recently went to Groot Constantia for a wine tasting. After enjoying their chocolate and wine pairing, we headed over to Simon's Restaurant for a picnic. We’d heard great things about their picnics, but we weren’t prepared for the amazingness that ensued… 

The picnic basket included a delicious baguette, a variety of cheeses, fruit salad, potato salad, a green salad, salami (my fave thing in the world) and the most delicious chocolate brownies. It was absolutely incredible – I was in heaven!

The best part about Groot Constantia is that you can have a proper meal after visiting the tasting room. So many wine farms get it wrong by only serving teeny tiny tapas, or snacks such as biltong. When I’ve had a glass of wine or two, I’m always incredibly hungry afterwards and I want to be able to eat something substantial. At Groot Constantia you can either visit Simon’s Deli, or Simon’s Restaurant – depending on how hungry you are.

The picnic basket is really well-priced, and was actually a bit too much for the two of us. I think that it can easily feed four people... Well, if you're friends with beasts (like me) probably only three people.

We went in winter, so we ended up sitting inside. But in summer you can chill under the trees with a lovely glass of wine and good company.

A definite must!

We tried Simons for the first time on Saturday evening. I must say it’s quite a detour getting there, almost got lost! :) We got to enjoy the 5 course Winter dinner which goes for R195 per person. The 5 course menu is quite a mouthful and you have to decide and tell the waiter which dish you will be having from each course upfront in order for the kitchen to get their ducks in a row (makes sense). The restaurant has a huge, beautiful fire place that they just keep loading with big logs to keep you snuggly warm! Our table was directly in front of the fire place, so we felt super lucky! I wont go into detail about the Winter menu as its quite entensive but see the pic for course details. We were left very stuffed and our waiters advice was to never break in-between the courses (as we did) as then you sort of fill up and then cannot fit it all in (we took doggy bags home of our main course!), lesson learnt! We had a lovely, informative waiter, it was such an amazing evening and I cannot wait to try them in Summer, as the outside area looks fantastic!

I was lucky enough to enjoy a 2 course meal at Simon's today. I chose the smoked salmon as a starter, and opted for the lamb shoulder as a main.

As yummy as the salmon was, I'm not convinced it's worth near on R80 since it felt "bulked out" with a large amount of salad leaves.

But the lamb was good! - super homely, comforting, and the portion size was incredibly generous. So you definitely get your money's worth there!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a modern but warm aesthetic. The staff are really friendly too.

The menu may seem a tad old school, but the food is generally well executed!

I would definitely go back for their R195, five course set menu!

I've been to Simon's a number of times and it's perfect for a Sunday lunch spent with family. The view is stunning and encompasses the Cape Winelands. Every time I have been there, the food has been delectable. One time, there was a juicy, tender fillet special served on a potato rosti with some heavenly sauce but much to my dismay they have since not had this while I have been there (please bring this back? :))

Yes, it's a bit touristy, but it's also really great. I've visited Simon's a few times and enjoyed every experience. The first time I split a cheese board with a friend (it was great), the second time I had the risotto (creamy and delicious) and my most recent visit was on a hot summer's day, perfect for ordering the calamari. It was well-seasoned and the plate was huge. I will keep coming back here after a day of wine tasting, because the food and service is consistently good.

I go to Simon's quite often for lunch in summer and really love the relaxed atmosphere and view of the vineyards. It is an extremely popular lunch spot on the weekends so I was surprised at how quiet they were last (Saturday) night. Definitely no need to book.

We had a great lunch at Simons! This is a brilliant little place but I would recommended booking to get a table. I was surprised to see some reviews that where not favourable and will be going back to see if we just got lucky or if the experience is inconsistent.The food was great and we shared the Malay Tasting plate with a few other starters and created a meze type lunch. Everything was delicious!We finished off with the cheese cake which was recommended by the waiter and she was spot on, it was brilliant! BUT, one slice is certainly enough for 2, it is rich, very rich!

Simon's is set amongst beautiful, rolling hills and is ensconced in so much lush greenery. It's a great place for a sunset dinner particularly during summer. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating- both holding large capacity - and the decor is tasteful in keeping with the overall atmosphere. The food is delicious and I found the portions to be decent. Added on is some great service which makes this a very pleasant dining experience. Simon's is pet friendly, which is great for pet owners but not for diners who could be subjected to unruly pet behaviour. Directions to Simon's can be tricky so follow your navigator closely if it is your first time.

The views are breath taking, the atmosphere was very calm and peaceful, and the wine was delicious. Loved the picnic experience, although the portions of food could be better, there weren't enough crackers for the cheeses and meat.

Spectacular picnic setting. Loved the lush vineyards. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. We were there on Sunday for my birthday and the live music added a special touch.

Food wasn’t as nice as I wished. Lacking in flavour, it’s quite average. The atmosphere is great! Good vibe, sometimes live music is provided. Service is is very average and highly dependent on who serves you. I’ve previously had good experience with service, this time the waiter called my food choices “weird”.

Went there for our company end of year function, it was the picnic baskets out side. Nice location and everything ran smoothly. Food was decent too. Long line to the toilets was the only thing that was negative

A lively and festive experience for a big group of 17. So much fun and seriously the best burger ever. Loved the wine paring suggestion. Lemon meringue was AMAZING

Beautiful venue and restaurant. Food wasn't up to par though. Food quality could be better. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with an extra mushroom sauce as the waiter advised the chicken is dry. Chicken was dry alright, mushroom sauce was more beefy and the chips were cold. I just don't think the prices for the foods they offer are worth it, they are way over priced. Glad i got to see the ducks though😄

Haven't been to Simon's Restaurant in ages, but they never seem to disappoint. The service and food is top class, and they are dog friendly which is a bonus for those with dogs who can behave :)

Had an excellent burger for lunch. My wife had the seared tuna - a larger portion which ensured that the tuna was properly seared without cooking through.

Wow! What an amazing meal. We had late lunch here around 2 pm after wine tasting. Served by Joel we had wonderful appetizers of escargot and butternut soup, and mains of beef pancetta linguine and oxtail. Paired with the vineyard’s pintoage, what a great meal!

Only my second time visiting, but for a casual restaurant dining, it really is impressive. Our waitress was super high energy and ticked all the boxes. The food was well prepared, well presented, and quickly served, even the dogs menu was interesting!. A long way out of my way for regular visits, but well worth the effort if you are in the area.

Many thanks for hosting us on this special occasion, in celebration of my dear father’s 88th birthday. The attentive and friendly service was much appreciated! I would not recommend the Oxtail Stew, which was inseparable from the bone. One or two bones were offered sans meat, but in all fairness the fillet you served as an alternative was outstanding! 👌
