Lovely little restaurant tucked away in the corner but with gorgeous views of the mountain. Food is delicious and the wine menu is extensive especially for wine by the glass which you don’t usually get at most restaurants-I will def go back and recommend it. The service was also fantastic-thanks Mocca!
Did a wine tasting here, great great selection of wines! And the place is beautiful and relaxed. Would like to return to try the food. The service could have been a lot better, as we had to struggle to find a waiter to help us when we wanted to order, and when we wanted the bill. On the plus side though, they serve delicious popcorn as a complimentary bar snack. My friend who visits often says that she is usually served by someone who wasn't there yesterday, who is a lot more friendly and attentive. So worth visiting again, would like to try more wine from their extensive wine list.
I always kick myself for not visiting this place in the suburbs more often. There is the most beautiful view of the mountain and it really is a beautiful spot in the suburbs. You almost feel as if you are in a loft. The service is always exceptional and their is a very large selection of wine, as well as tasting options. The food is always on point and never disappoints
Heritage building, a great open expanse with vaulted ceilings, long bar and european styled decor.
Attentive service and as one would expect an extensive wine list. We tried the fillet and grilled calamari. Both were cooked to perfection. Other dishes seemed equally appealing.
Recommended.
Such an amazing experience visiting Wijnhuis. Everything was spot on - brilliant service, steaks cooked to absolute perfection and a lovely setting. The greenery of Newlands really adds to the experience. Fantastic all-round.
Saw the name of this restaurant and being the wine lover that I am I decided to give it a try, it's quite so I had just spotted it by chance.
I went on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was actually pretty quiet..
The restaurant had such a wide variety of wines which is really nice, but I also found it a bit overwhelming when it actually came to choosing a bottle, but our waiter was very friendly in that regard..
The starter bread we were served upon arrival is literally top 5, it was good we even asked for seconds! To eat we had spaghetti & meatballs and those were a bit on the spicy side but still enjoyable nonetheless. I did find that the food menu was a bit on the pricey side but there were a few adorable options.
This is my favourite restaurant in the burbs. Always friendly staff. Fantastic wine range (at good prices) and never get bored of the food. I bring all my friends there.

Had a lovely quiet night with some friends. Enjoyed their 200g sirloin steak which was made to perfection( medium-well). Id also recommend their wine tasting which is R60 for 5 wines.
This is a hidden gem. Not high profile or widely marketed, it takes a bit of finding but once settled inside you are in for a great meal. I enjoy the slightly unusual menu and interesting offerings, always presented impeccably. The service is professional and slick and the wine list always has a few gems. The specials are always well thought through and delicious, I usually don't venture too far. If it weren't for the hall-like layout and slightly cold feel, I would rate closer to 5 stars.
The food was great, had me a salad. Let's be honest nobody wants to hear about that though. So here's the tea on the wine. Their bottle list is so long... I found my eyes tiring, but my heart was overjoyed. During September there's no corkage so I'm deffos going back.
However the service was a let down and took much longer than need, but the food and wine did arrive quickly the issue was the availability of assistance.

First time going there.
True to their promise, they have 20 wines by glass and an album full of wine by bottle
I have been here a few times but only for drinks. My most recent visit was the first time I had food here and I was not disappointed. We were a fairly large table, but our waitress took time to explain the menu and the specials. Our food came quickly and everyone enjoyed their dishes. I had the burger which was cooked to perfection, well seasoned and in a delicious bun. My only negative (with the exception of the burger which is very reasonable) is that the prices are quite high for the type of food.
Will be back though!
I had a delicious bowl of minestrone and my friend had a sirloin. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was excellent. The view of the mountain from our comfortable corner seat was spectacular. I loved the white table cloths.
Fish was good. Very well presented. The food menu had a bit of everything. But what we were most blown away by was the amazing dessert! Best (warm) baked cheesecake I've ever had and delectable nougat semi-freddo.
The food is always tasty and I believe they make the best fillet steak. I love their bread and the lamb curry is to die for. Oh...let's not forget the calamari.....deliciously good! Great service too!
Good atmosphere, excellent service from a young waiter Charlie, and clean tables and furnishings. The best is the food. Their freshly baked bread given to tables is mouth watering and worth having a meal there just to eat the bread! Their chili garlic beef is delicious and tender and perfectly cooked.
What has happened to the crowds? I remember when you couldn’t get a booking for weeks in advance. Still lovely, great food, amazing wine list, awesome service but just missing the vibe. Quiet, cold and empty. Hope you get your mojo back soon.
Highly recommend the baby kingklip.
Lovely venue and great ambience for meals with friends and/or date night!
Service has always been wonderful and the chef is happily willing to accomodate special requests.
The wine selection is tremendous!
The food is excellent , my fish was fantastic and my friends said they had perfect steaks
However the acoustic of the restaurant is terrible, one can't have a conversation without shouting to be heard . I found it so irritating I will think twice before returning despite the excellent food .
I enjoyed the renovated look and the openess of the space. The food was lovely and the tasting beer platter lots of fun for the beer drinkers. The staff could have been a bit more attentive as I felt they did not check on us or clear the tables.
