Lovely atmosphere with loads of little elegant touches & an excellent wine selection. We were blown away by the food, best salmon dish I've ever had. They have a fairly small menu but offer a variety of seasonal specials that vary regularly & isn't on their standard menu. All their dishes were beautifully prepared & presented. At around R250 per person for mains, wine, desserts & coffees, it was money well spent 😬
Jy het die mooiste uitsig oor die hele Paarl Vallei van daar af. Die rustigheid van die berge so na aan jou omsluit jou julle siel. Vriendelike personeel. Dit is n awesome plek met beslis die lekkerste CUPPICINO EN KAASKOEK in die Boland.
The perfect romantic date night spot, the view from the restaurant is simply breathtaking overlooking the entire City of Paarl with its many vineyards and mountains. At night you get to see all the city lights making it such a romantic place to take that someone special. The food and wine are clearly made with loads of heart and passion and the proof is in the delicious flavours on the plate which compliment each other so well. One dish that stood out for me was the starter which was the Lamb Basket, simply marvellous!
I was taken aback by the warm atmosphere and service we received at Blacksmith's Kitchen! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive and it really contributed a lot to our overall experience and impression. We had the lamb burger and a pizza- while the pizza was just okay, the burger was fantastic. The flavours worked very well together and the burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Every bite was succulent.
Very nice setting!! Do sit outside (in summer😊) and look at Paarl through the vineyards.... nice food and services... a little gem waiting to be experienced...
This is the place to be!! The setting (the view), the food, the wine, the staff... I've been here quite a few times and every single time I leave feeling loads better about myself 😄 if you do visit, treat yourself to the mushrooms and truffle oil risotto. The flavor and texture combination is out of this world. Their pizzas are something special and always a sure winner. The antipasto platter is such a great combination of flavors and textures. Come to think of it, anything you order will most possibly be fantastic!!
Ok, so we drove all the way here and landed up with Pizza that we probably could have purchased around the corner. But then again, you'd be hard pressed to find a pizza with SUCH a thin base and with such excellent quality toppings. All of us thought they were delicious and every crumb was eaten. Service was friendly and efficient, and having a fire inside in winter was a bonus.
Celebrated fathers day at blacksmith. Party of 14.had a great time.staff very friendly and helpful. Food was great from the pizza to the lamb shank.wine well priced.view fantastic. Will definitely be back.also did wine tasting and good time had by all.
Wow! I had the lamb shank and it was phenomenal! Serious attention paid to the plating of the dishes which is an extra. The food and wine here is wonderful. The view isn't too bad either :)
Great farm restaurant!
Covered by big trees with a fantastic view of Paarl, the restaurant really is perfectly positioned. The menu caters to all tastes and covers most food types. Fresh mussels were the real highlight.
The wine list, obviously carries their own selection but incorporates a few outside labels too. The chenin was a fantastic accompaniment to our lunch.
Delicious food and wine and a view to die for! What a wonderful evening and impeccable service. Will definitely go back for another occasion
After hearing great reviews from other Zomato foodies, we decided to take a drive out to Pearl Mountain and have lunch at Blacksmiths kitchen. We were warmly welcomed by the manager on duty and taken to a quaint table under the trees. Our waiter was friendly yet subdued, and brought olives to taste while we placed our order. To eat, I ordered the Farmyard pizza, and Dario chose the 300g rump(with mushroom sauce) with roast vegetables and chips. The pizza was light, but I feel it lacked basic seasoning. The rump was a good portion size and the accompanying veg was fresh and well prepared. We opted to share the Seasonal fruit pavlova, and for both of us,agreed it was the best course. Three meringues, topped with vanilla cream and fresh berries. Overall, I felt that the wait between ordering and receiving your food is a while, and in the interim could have brought baked bread instead, as many people don't eat olives. The estate is beautiful and I appreciate the local fresh produce available, but I feel slightly underwhelmed by the food and value for money. Dario De Wet
Stunning restaurant! Had an amazing lunch - quality food and GREAT portions (we couldn't finish our food).
Beautiful dining experience sitting between the vineyard, with a 180° view overlooking Paarl.
DEFINITELY returning to try everything!
We went to Blacksmiths on a very chilled spring day and what a great experience!
Very well priced and excellent selection of wines.
Their foccacia has a beautifully thin crust and perfect amount of toppings fora starter.
For mains I had the beef burger with mushroom sauce on the side, delicious. The husband had the ribs which was a very generous portion, big enough to share.
Stunning views, warm atmosphere with good food which are reasonably priced. My favorites was a bottomless glass of Ice tea and/or Lemonade and a very juicy burger with an excellent meat patty.
Wil definitely visit them again.
What a beautiful place. We just stopped in for a coffee and we were blown away. The service was great and the venue spotless. To sit on the veranda was just so peaceful and magical. Loved it and will go back to taste the wine.
We celebrated my birthday at Blacksmith's Kitchen on Sunday, April 30, and what a lovely experience it was. I was flying back to Johannesburg that afternoon so we arrived at 10:45 am which is 15 minutes before the restaurant opens. However, the wait staff welcomed us in a very cordial manner despite the inconvenience, which was surprising. (In my experience, arriving before opening time results in being chased away by disgruntled staff.) This impressed me. The restaurant is set in tranquil surroundings above vineyards which I found instantly relaxing. We had not booked a table and all of those that seemed to be in prime spots were reserved. This was not a problem, however, as all of the tables provide the same exquisite view of the mountains of Paarl. We sat under a massive and ancient tree (Oak, if I remember correctly) and time seemed to stand still for a bit. I enjoyed a glass of wine and we ordered falafel to start. The dish was fairly good but the caprese pizza that followed was excellent. I enjoyed being seated at a large wooden table in magnificent surroundings. Blacksmith's Kitchen is a very special venue which proved to offer really good value for money that even ordinary South Africans can enjoy; this is unusual. The restaurant staff were very kind, attentive and efficient. I hope to visit again soon.
Knowing Paarl quite well, I was amazed that I hadn't heard of the Blacksmith Kitchen before. This is definitely a hidden gem! Located in Northern Paarl on the Pearl Mountain Wines wine estate, you have amazing views of the valley and town below. The restaurants' interior isn't very large, however they do have a covered outside seating area which also takes advantage of the views. I decided to go for the Lamb Shank and my wife went with the Chicken Parmesan with Risotto, and both of us really enjoyed the food. One recommendation I can give them is to expand their wine list slightly to include more of the local wines as well as craft beers, but overall we had a great time.
Great views of the mountains and surrounding vineyards. Lekker pizzas and wine.
I can't believe I never knew/heard about this Diamond, And it is in my own Valley, I loved the stunning views of the Vineyard and the mountains from our Table and the relaxed and chilled vibe outside.
I had Calamari Cubes for a start and it was devine, It had a nice crisp and awesome flavor 😋 with a lovely Tar Tar sauce definitely recommended 💪🏼
For mains I had a Lamb Shank wow THE MASH 🤤🤤🤤🤤 It had a cheezy taste to it oooohhh I loved it HANDS DOWN the best mash I've ever tasted and the meat was BEAUTIFULLY Cooked to perfection 🥰
No issues No flaws 100% Happy with the service and awesome food oh and the Stunning Views 😍
definitely 5 STAR 🌟 and Good Value for money
Well done Team Blacksmith
Excellent food, quick kitchen, attentive waiters and fantastic views! Highly recommend a visit.
Absolute hidden Gem. Waited a bit long(hour) for our meals to arrive but overall, everything Spot-on. Pork Ribs prepped to perfection. Kids had Pizzas and wife had Fish/calamari. Our waitron Tamryn was exceptional. Highly recommended and definitely will return soon.
