Service a little slow, however this is understandable as under Covid they are working with reduce staffing/waitrons
Wonderful winter afternoon celebrating our daughter’s birthday. Adam, our waiter, took excellent care of us, the girls had a ball, the pizzas were scrumptious and what can we say about the setting?! Spectacular. Thanks for a lovely experience.
An amazing experience at The Millhouse Kitchen. We were amazed at the beautiful setting and the warm and inviting restaurant interior. The food was tasty and the plating beautiful.
Beautifully decorated restaurant with very friendly service staff. Menu variety was good, with a great spread for most palates. Slightly in the pricey side, but food flavor and setting could justify this. Their famed “pork belly” is apparently a must try, will have to head back for this.
Great experience at The Mill House Kitchen. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Highly recommend the lizza and pork belly. Love the fireplace!
Love eating at the Millhouse! The food is fantastic, service is amazing, waiters are very friendly and management staff is so helpful. I highly recommend the Pizza's and the Pork Belly. I would love to see more healthy options on the menu though.
Really great atmosphere! Loved the food, the wine & the dessert. The service was great too. Would definitely go back! Good value for money :)
Ended my week of entertaining French guests by visiting The Millhouse Kitchen - we had a table outside enjoying our beautiful sunset with a view over the Hottentots Mountains. Service, staff, food and all was really good - amasing setting and the evening market at the Laurensford Wine Estate looked amasing - will have to do that soon....
As to be expected from winelands restaurants, Millhouse does not disappoint. Excellent waitstaff and a lovely ambience. Food is pretty good and snappy. A little pricey but then, quality is not cheap.
Popped in at the Millhouse kitchen for a light snack (2-3 dishes) before heading back to Cape Town after a day in Somerset West.
I throughly enjoyed the crispy squid, but felt my wild mushroom risotto was very mediocre - it lacked that rich and meaty mushroom flavour.
Presentation of the food was beautiful.
This place in incredible! Food, service, setting, atmosphere; all are fantastic! The pork belly was to die for and is definitely a recommendation to all who come here! The service was excellent and we were never left wanting. Anyone in and around the Somerset West area, this restaurant is a MUST visit!
Thought we would try the mill house kitchen at lourensford as my sister was getting married their the following week . The food was great , the pasta was really tasty and the veal was cooked perfectly and service excellent with a cosy atomosphere for the cold day .
Very impressed with the vibe. Always packed and we had a very tasty and succulent burger. Large portion and felt satisfied afterwards. Will definitely come back!
Love the look and vibe of the place. We all had pizza,and it was so delicious. Service was excellent and quick. Def worth the visit. Need to make a booking because on weekends they are mostly fully booked.
Gorgeous setting at Lourensford Estate. We've been there twice and staff are very very friendly. Had no problem letting us sit there till after closing.
Really enjoy the pork belly with the sweet potato.
Love the setting with looking into the gardens.
Will go back when we head back to Somerset West.
On Saturday we decided to take a drive out to Somerset West and stop off at Lourensford Wine estate, and then have lunch at Millhouse Kitchen. Greeted on arrival, we were seated at a lovely window table, which gave us a view of the estate. Our waitor,Connor, was exceptionally friendly, interactive and attentive.
Dario ordered a Pulled pork, red pepper and coriander pizza and I opted for a spicy calamari tube starter( covered in a Harrisa sauce). For dessert, he had a Naked Chocolate Torte, and I chose a homemade milktart with a cappuccino(which came with a mini shortbread on the side- 😁)
The environment was cosy and friendly, and the atmosphere was bustling and family orientated. One of the best lunches we've been to in a while!
Enjoyed a relaxed Sunday lunch at The Millhouse kitchen yesterday. The highlight is the setting - it's a magnificent location to soak up the sun. The food is on the better side of average, pleasant without being remarkable, and acceptable value (although the desserts looked a little steep). The service was also decent, if not quite attentive. I'd recommend visiting - but more for the settling than the food.
The lunch menu at the Millhouse Kitchen was incredible!
We shared all three dishes: beef carpaccio starter, lamb shank and aubergine pizza for mains, and baked chocolate torte for dessert. Great flavours all round!
Our only critique is that the dessert seemed overpriced for the portion size, but the torte was excellent nonetheless.
Loved the atmosphere and the overall look of the restaurant! Excited to try more items on their menu in the near future.
So here's a place well worth a visit and a repeat visit.
My rather picky son eventually chose the millhouse burger and then proceeded to inhale he enjoyed it so much.
Very generous portions and very tasty.
We had mamas meatballs, the Brie and grape pizza and the posh chips side.
All were excellent and value for money.
Good efficient service and beautiful setting make it a place to put in the to do list.

We popped in to meet some overseas visitors for a quick lunch. We had a pizza to share and was wonderful and tasty with really nice flavors. Unfortunately had to rush to catch a flight but will return

Tried to get a table last minute. They made a plan. Was nice and vibey. Mostly tourists. Shared exotic mushroom started. Was decent. Perfectly cooked. Just slightly too much black pepper. Pork belly with red cabbage and sweet potato was excellent. Chicken snitchel was average. Heavy on oil. Silky choc pie was divine. Overall a memorable experience.
We had a lovely family lunch here in December. Despite being peak season and very busy the service and the food were great. My toddler devoured the kiddies napoletana pasta. I enjoyed the prawn risotto but it was a bit too lemony. It's very rare to find a restaurant that has an interesting adults menu as well as a big variety for kids. The garden setting is very pretty, and it was fantastic to have an enclosed area for my little girl to play in while we ate.
Exquisite venue,wow service Top class value for money . Thank you for nature @ it's best . Very good waiter ?Mildred. The setting is awesome we had the delicious full house breakfast , champagne (brut l)eft great bubbly feeling on my pallet . Crembrule was superb and milk tart was Aaaah out of this world
Amazing food and GREAT service! Atmosphere is really nice. A good place to take your family. You can also sit by the garden with a bottle of wine :)

I absolutely love the interior and the atmosphere of this place. Its very relaxing and the food is of top qaulity. Beautiful sceneries and great service. My favourite dish is the mushroom risotto☺
Superb food. Beautiful setting. Attentive service. What more could you ask for? Lovely kids play area too. An absolute winner in my mind! Will be back many times...
Amazing place! The food and service were top draw, and the surroundings were beautiful! Lovely experience and I would definitely recommend it..
We did the wine and chocolate tasting that Lourensford offers. The setting is superb, we sat outside in the sun. After the tasting we headed to the Millhouse Kitchen for a late lunch. The decor is delightful. Our waitress was a little rude and I'm not sure if this was because we were a group of four young students. The food was amazing and everyone of us loved our meal. I had the mushroom risotto and can highly recommend it!
We didn't have a booking but took a chance and they helped us with a table no problem. The food was excellent. I had the best creme brûlée I've had in a while hear. It was delicious. The rest of our dinner was just as superb. Great restaurant.
With good food priced with guts, The Millhouse Kitchen is a restaurant on a farm nestled beneath the beautiful mountains in Somerset West. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with good lighting and open-face brick walls. I would take the entire family out to enjoy a lazy night of eating, drinking and having great conversation.
Great setting, good service, amazing food. Stunning flavours!
Great food! Sunday afternoon lunch and white wine on the patio. I have not been disappointed once. Waiters are well trained and the chef is creative and clever with flavour combinations:)
A beautiful restaurant situated in the most peaceful, tranquil gardens with ponds and the cutest ducklings on the grass. Friendly, professional staff and the food is outstanding, with generous portions. We as a group had a lovely time and enjoyed the peacefulness
This is situated in the scenic Lourensford wine farm.We had late lunch with my Girlfriends. The fact that it closes late is such a bonus coz most restaurants on a wine farm close at a certain time. We had a variety of food and it was all delicious. The space is cozy and the outdoor space is beautiful. You can have dessert at the restaurant or go to Wedgewood for a delicious variety of scrumptious biscuit, chocolates or even ice cream with that is to die for🤤
Have been there a few times. The whole area is big and lots to see. But the resturaunt is the best part. There is a play area for kids at the back. The staff is friendly and funny sometimes and the food is great. It is a nice place to go to for family meals or to go out with an date. Would recommend going there if you haven't been.
We were a group of 6 on Saturday 5 November and Marco deserves compliments as an outstanding manager. We had super meals and the hero was their Beef Cheek Pasta, will definitely order that again. Well done Millhouse!
Received execptional service even with a full restaurant.
The food was of a very good quality for really decent prices.
The farm Lourensford as a whole is something to behold.
The Cape Alfa Romeo Club used this venue for our year-end breakfast. A total of 110 people attended. The food and service was of the highest quality in a beautiful setting - will definitely go there again
Mesmerized by the enchanting gardens at the estate we arrive 5min before lunch service closes and we were accommodated with a smile!
The lady who served us was an absolute delight , knowledgeable , friendly , informative attentive and friendly I adored her radiant warmth and wit! Her wine pairing recommendations were spot on!
The views from the resturant are just breathtaking words fail to describe the true splendor of it all
When the Thai Prawn Curry I orderd arrived my eyes feasted before I tasted this delicious curry, savoury ,balanced, beautiful textures simply magnificent!
Millhouse Kitchen is an absolute must for anyone who loves amazing food! The Hennessy coctail was so superb!
Met the Chef (Herman??hope im right) congratulated him on the truly amazing food expirience ! It was one of the best Thai curries iv ever tasted! Six stars overall front of house included!
A home away from home. Fresh food, delicious menu and pet friendly. We love coming here for breakfast. Eggs Benedict is a must try

One standout feature of this restaurant was the well-designed play area for kids. It allowed parents to enjoy their meals in peace while children had a blast in a safe and entertaining space. The staff was also accommodating and patient with families, which enhanced the overall dining experience.
However, I did notice a minor drawback—the prices were on the higher side, which might be a consideration for some diners. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a great meal in a family-friendly environment, this restaurant is worth a visit.
The food was delicious - top quality. The service was a bit slow. We had to ask for some drinks multiple times and the food also took quite some time. The juice did not taste fresh pressed even though we were assured it was. There is a nice jungle gym for the kids to play on outside. We were there on a Saturday for lunch and the place was completely packed - they didn't have space for us inside, so make a reservation in advance. The seafood curry linguine was awesome - a little spicy, creamy, with a nice amount of seafood. The pork belly was delicious as well. They have a limited number of beers on tap.
