Tokara

Exquisite food, fine wines and rare artworks. Tokara Restaurant opened its doors in October 2001. It was one of the very first iconic winery restaurants established in the Cape Winelands.

Our restaurant staff are hard at work to ensure that the linen is pressed, tables are expertly laid, and the decor positively shines. Did we mention that we have large-scale tapestries by internationally-renowned artist William Kentridge adorning the restaurant walls?

Our kitchen is busy preparing the day’s menu. The local farmers have dropped off their produce, and talented team is transforming this into tempting delights. We’ve scoured our wine cellar to select only the finest bottles of wine for your dining pleasure.

And to top it all off, the dramatic views over Stellenbosch and False Bay make dining at Tokara Restaurant an experience to remember.

We’ve carefully designed our drinks list to enhance and complement your dining experience. It’s a personal and evolving selection of the finest local and international wines and spirits. Choose from the full range of Tokara wines, available by glass or bottle. We also provide wines from neighbouring farms and other prestigious South African estates.

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants also included our restaurant in the new “50 Best Discovery” list for 2020.

We cannot wait to welcome you.

    Amazing place! We went for lunch and as we were also holding another dinner reservation we opted for a few starters and a nice wine. Service is very good and genuinely friendly! Great combination of beautiful restaurant, great food, splendid views and amazingly friendly people. Just go!

    We definitely recommend this place. Over the years, service and food are at the highest standards. Not to mention the venue (art exhibition) and the view. A must go in the area of Stellenbosch
