Eike by Bertus Basson

The food was superb, excellent wine selection, lovely interaction from the chef and other service staff made for an exceptional experience. Definitely one to keep going back to!

Simply loved it! Awesome food & wine, great atmosphere and great staff!

Each exquisite course gives way to another, more delicious, plate. The taste combinations were unique, bold fresh flavors from the fish and meat, with subtler supports from tiny roe, finely cut green scallion, shaved salted fish. The sweet peaches and cheese course was sensational. Staff were friendly, welcoming and unpretentious. I felt very comfortable and at peace to enjoy the flavours.

Dining at Eike by Bertus Basson in Stellenbosch was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is located in a charming historic building on Dorp Street, offering an intimate setting with just 30 seats. Chef Bertus Basson has truly mastered the art of combining fresh, local ingredients with modern techniques, creating a fixed menu that celebrates South Africa's rich culinary heritage.The dishes were absolutely exceptional—like the bobotie tartare and springbok with Jerusalem artichoke foam. Each plate told a unique story of the country’s diverse flavors and history. The service was impeccable, and the wine pairings were perfectly curated, enhancing the entire meal.Overall, Eike by Bertus Basson is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic South African cuisine in a refined and welcoming atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend it.Worth the trip. Delicious experience and new interpretation of local classics.

A great restaurant. I highly recommend.Serves a four course tasting menu of high quality food. For a London tourist, the quality and experience for the price was excellent. Not to be missed.I went with the wine pairing option and the total price was R1300, approx 60. If I went again I would probably go with my own wine choices. They were all good, but inevitably, preferred some more than others.The head chef came round and talked about each of the dishes as they were served, which was a nice and unexpected touch.

Eike Restaurant by Bertus Basson has an innovative take on South African cuisine. They showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients with a focus on sustainability. Diners will rave about the multi-course tasting menus that take you on a culinary journey through the region's flavors. The beef fat candel is also really cool. Expect expertly prepared dishes bursting with unique flavor combinations that are almost too beautiful to eat, but to tasty not to. Well worth the visit.

Cosy little restaurant with wonderful service.The food was not entirely to my liking, but I could appreciate that it was a difference in taste, not quality.The head chef takes exceptional pride in his work and the dishes were inspired.Recommend for an interesting dining experience.

Fantasmagories!!!Easily the best meal I ever had.From the moment we walked in to the last bite we were impressed.Each dish was unique. And how they manage to generate so much flavour from a sauce is beyond me.My son's, who is studying to become a chef, evening (year in fact) was made when he went for a kitchen and behind the scene look. The professionalism and enthusiastic manner in which his questions were answered is commendable - thanks Chef AstridAlthough they didn't have a wine pairing with each dish the MC recommended some wines to compliment the meal as we went along - excellent choices!!!Great experience
