Review Faber - Paarl

My colleagues and I had our year-end function here yesterday. I visited this estate and restaurant for the fourth time, and every time, the level of excellence is maintained throughout. My colleagues were extremely impressed with the presentation and delectable dishes. In addition, the knowledge of the waiters in terms of what is contained in the dishes is admirable. I highly recommend Faber. The fact that everything on the plate is organically grown on the estate makes the experience more enriching. Thank you, Faber, you rock!!!

WOW! I cannot believe it took me so long to visit Faber as we stay just around the corner! Its absolutely a MUST visit! Reasonable price for a fine dining restaurant and the food, service and views are amazing! Aside from all this they include so many special extras in your dining experience, once seated they bring you a glass of homemade lemonade along with a really amazing pampoenkoekie and fresh bread with butter and a whipped feta dip! With the bill they include a chocolate/truffle/bon bon treat which is marzipan dipped in chocolate, I loved this. I only tried the beef cheek tortellini and the duck starter but I am still dreaming about that beef cheek tortellini I will go back every week just for that but the duck was also really good and perfectly cooked, I wasnt to crazy about the dessert( I tried the orange and toasted sponge based on the waiters recommendation) but I'm not really a sweet person I did love the yoghurt shards that are served with it and could probably polish a whole plate of just that! Service is really excellent and very fast, wine is a bit expensive and to be honest avondale wines isnt really my favorite although their sparkling wine isnt bad. I cannot wait to go back and do a proper set menu although I might actually go back next week and just order 2 portions of the tortellini 😂 Please visit and support them you wont regret it!

This restaurant truly impressed me with one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. It stands out among fine dining establishments with its beautiful location, attentive service, and exceptionally tasty dishes. The Beef fillet, kingklip, and cookie crumble dessert were all next-level delicious. A memorable dining experience that exceeded expectations.

Highly recommended by friends who love good food we went for lunch. Very happy to confirm that every dish was full of flavour. We opted for the full 6 courses menu since it included lots of very interesting dishes. Plating was beautiful, service very friendly, and every bite was delicious. Compared to similar restaurants with the same high standards, the price was on the high range.

Did the 6 course tasting menu and what a delicious experience! The food was amazing and the wine pairing was next level. Blessing, Honest, Calvin, Kelvin and Gift really made our dinner experience extra special. These waiters are super attentive and know the food and wine so well. Will definitely be back!

Great food! the yellowtail fish with salt and pepper squid was out of this world! Service was great and the servers were very attentive! Will definitely be back!

What an amazing location. Beautiful view, super professional and good stuff. The food is even better! We had a wonderful dinner for two. Enough parking space. Amazing welcome champagne at the entrance. Already excited to come again 💪🏻 would be also a good venue with key clients for a business lunch

It is always a pleasure to go to great restaurants and taste such wonderfully curated ingredients. This is especially so at Faber on the Avondale estate. Here the craft is taken to the next level, with creative cuisine and a hearty taste. Unlike conventional cooking, the chef's thinking, personality and care with putting together a unique flavour profile of rich, nutty, earthy and umami tones really comes through. The wine (Jonty's ducks), along with each farm-to-table component on the plate, speaks to sustainability and preservation of the earth - something I deeply care about as a guest of fine-dining cuisine. This restaurant is more traditionally styled than being quirky or contemporary, which I adore. The classical feel of the restaurant is peaceful located in one of the most beautiful settings of nature in the Western Cape - Paarl.

Great venue for a corporate event. They managed to seat 67 people inside. Lovely Boland views and beautifull gardens. Nice art exhibition in entrance of an historic Cape Dutch homestead. The welcome drink (Sangria/Spritzer) was not that great. Food was absolutely divine and waiters were on point and efficient. Remarkable how all meals were served without some waiting. Nice patio with sun blinds shielding Western sun. A gem in Paarl

Attentive service, lovely food, excellent wine - an idyllic experience is on your doorstep Paarl seems like it might be a great trek. However we were pleasantly surprised to be rewarded with an idyllic escape after a 40 minute journey out of Cape Town. Service was superlative and the restaurant is a run attentively and unobtrusively. The menu was delightful with foraged items being used excellently, beautifully and tastily in a garden setting with a wonderful landscape to crown it all. Portions were generous and the wine is incredible.

What a great restaurant. From the time you arrive at Faber you get treated as royalty. We did a wine tasting where the staff was very informative and very passionate about the wine. We moved to the restaurant to have dinner and wow. A amazing setting. The great service carried on. The food was fresh. Seasonal and very creative. Hard to explain you need to try it. The restaurant has an open kitchen where you can look at the chefs flowing around in the kitchen as an orchestra. Very professional and clean. Would recommend this eatery It is special to have in our town paarl.

Visited for lunch thoroughly enjoyed our experience here very attentive staff full knowledge of the wines and the amazing food they serve would recommend a visit here. The views from the patio where you can eat are stunning
