Our Cuisine 

Since its beginning, The Restaurant at Clos Malverne has been a popular destination for food and wine enthusiasts. Now serving upmarket, comfort food and rustic, wood-fired pizzas - we are opening our arms to all. Our new affordable menu, together with our broad wine list caters for every taste since the recent extension of the ever popular Devonet range of wines. Because of the beautiful view, the outside seating area has also been expanded to ensure no more fist fights over the front row seats. 

Our popular Winelands destination has developed a devoted following since 2009 for its fresh, seasonal and easy, contemporary cuisine prepared by executive chef Brendan Stein and his team of expert chefs. The interior of the restaurant is stylish yet without any airs and guests can enjoy a wine tasting at the comfort of their own table prior to their lunch. If you like what you taste, we can deliver the wines straight to your doorstop via our online wine sales facility. 

Signature Pairings 

As our slogan states, “The Food & Wine Experience“, we’re all about exciting food and wine combinations. Living up to this notion, we were the first wine estate in Stellenbosch offering a unique tasting experience in the form of our “Ice cream & Wine Pairing”. It has since become one of our signature pairings with seasonal, hand-made delicacies.  Join us for our unique, signature Ice Cream Pairings (only available from Wednesday to Saturday) or for our four course Food and Wine Pairing. Please note that telephonic booking is essential for both. 

Meet the Chef 

Brendan Stein is the executive chef at The Restaurant at Clos Malverne. He was hand selected and having been a chef for over 16 years, he developed his own unique style and approach to food through gathering experience from diverse cooking styles as well as locations both locally and internationally. Brandan describes his own style of cooking as not overly complicated: “I don’t follow any specific rules or cuisines, but rather just combine what I feel works well together. I am influenced by flavours that appeal to me, wherever they may come from, and I play and combine them until they create a harmonious dish visually, in taste and in texture. You will find flavours from around the world on my menus.”
