If winter has you reaching for soup and Netflix, it’s time to upgrade your cold-weather game — because Cavalli Estate in Stellenbosch is serving a winter à la carte special that’s well worth getting out of your blanket fort for.
Running now for the chilly season, Cavalli’s two-course menu for R450 or three courses for R630 lets you explore artful, flavour-packed dishes that feel both familiar and wildly inventive. [full menu]
It’s like fine dining’s version of your favourite hoodie: warm, comforting, and just plain cool.
Start your journey with snacks like potato, bokkom and sour cream or corn with shellfish oil and burnt onion. Follow it with sourdough and cumin-honey butter — because carbs are non-negotiable in winter.
Then it’s on to starters that flex culinary creativity:
-
Raw beef with lardo and mustard leaf
-
Pork and corn with bolognese espuma
-
Or salt-baked celeriac carpaccio with umami glaze and smoked macadamia (yes, please).
For mains, things get downright irresistible with options like:
-
Springbok with meebos and fynbos,
-
Sustainable fish with green olive beurre monte,
-
Or a fired carrot risotto with black garlic and cocoa — perfect for vegetarians with tastebuds that demand drama.
Don’t skip sides like salt & vinegar potatoes or broccoli with almonds and sauce verde, because they’re the unsung heroes of any real winter feast.
And of course — dessert. Think dates, pear, and bay leaf honey, passionfruit with coconut and meringue, or 74% millot chocolate with citrus. These are not your average sweet endings — they’re bold, balanced, and the perfect excuse to stay for one more course.
Add excellent Legado coffee, curated teas, and that signature Cavalli elegance, and you’ve got a seasonal escape that’s as soul-warming as it is delicious.
