This Father’s Day, skip the ties and toolkits — and treat Dad to something he’ll actually enjoy: a glass of wine and a seriously good meal at The Bistro at Brookdale.
On Saturday, 15 June, Brookdale is celebrating dads the way they should be — with a complimentary glass of wine and access to their brand-new winter à la carte menu, loaded with slow-cooked comforts, bold flavours, and enough gourmet flair to make any food-loving father feel like royalty.
Set in the serene Paarl winelands, The Bistro is where modern farm-style hospitality meets culinary creativity. [full menu]
- This winter, the kitchen is turning up the heat with dishes like Confit Duck with ginger gastrique, Dukkha Crusted Pork Chop with apple gel, and Tallow-Aged Bonsmara Sirloin that practically demands a second glass of red.
- For dads who lean adventurous, there’s Masala Linefish paired with a fish samoosa and curry sauce, or the Curried Beetroot Pave with atchaar-pickled pineapple that’s anything but ordinary.
- And yes, there’s Braised Oxtail — slow-cooked in red wine and rosemary, just like Dad would have made it (if he had six hours and a secret gremolata recipe).
The vibe? Cosy, unpretentious, and quietly elegant. Think warm winter interiors, attentive service, and a menu where every dish is designed to comfort, impress, and satisfy. Whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch or a full-blown feast, Brookdale Bistro is the kind of place where Father’s Day turns into a family favourite.
