The Silwerboom

At the end of a Constantia oak lane, a tasting menu that reads the Cape like a field guide: springbok with num-num jus, kingklip with sea lettuce, buchu and honeybush worked in like punctuation, all paired from the estate's own cellar. Lunch is the move — the mountain light does half the plating. At the exchange rate it's a world-class meal at bistro money for most visitors; you'll still need to book three or four weeks out and arrange a driver for the wine pairing's sake.
