I had a lovely evening with Beyonce being our friendly waitress. It was my birthday and she sang her beautifully birthday song! The food was divine and portions very generous. Will definitely visit soon!

What a treat! The oxtail melted off the bone, the fillet medallions were prepared medium to perfection. Dessert was decadent. Last but certainly not least, the estate Cab Sav was a well balanced blend that complimented the meal superbly. Great evening of great food and wine in a elevated, but cosy setting.

Zevenwacht Restaurant – A Cozy Gem Worth Returning To! We stopped by Zevenwacht Restaurant for a light lunch and were truly impressed. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting – the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon. Our meal was fresh and delicious, and the presentation was just as lovely as the taste. Special shoutout to our wonderful waitress, Beyoncé, who welcomed us with a smile and took care of us from the moment we walked in. Her friendly and attentive service added a special touch to the experience. This is definitely a spot I’d return to – whether for another casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a picnic on one of those perfect sunny Cape days. Zevenwacht is a beautiful place to wine, dine, and unwind. Highly recommend

We did their picnic basket on the lawn infront of the lake. The scenery is beautiful and really relaxing. The drive up to the farm is also stunning! The picnic basket was also yummy! A few of the items were average or didnt have the most flavor but for the most part it was good!
