- Ana S9 contributionsFabulous mealJust returned home after an absolutely wonderful lunch at Rupert & Rothchild. Everything about the outing was excellent. The food was delicious and very nicely presented, the wine paring was spot on, the service was attentive and very friendly and the value for money cannot be beaten.

I invited my girlfriends yesterday to join me for wine tasting and lunch at one of my favourite wine farms seeing that they have never experienced the amazing wines, food and views at this special place with excellent service! Unfortunately they dropped the ball big time yesterday which was disappointing and embarrassing!🤦♀️ It started off very well with champagne tasting while we selected our food. I highly recommended the lamb and pork belly. We were the only guests for lunch so we expected the food to arrive quickly. Well, we were waiting ages for our food and after several enquiries and irritating the manager by now our food arrived! Unfortunately the waiter forgot to order the starter and instead of communicating this to us the chef decided to leave our prepared food under the lights to keep warm while the warm mussel starter was cooked. It was inevitable that the food will spoil . The main course and the starter arrived simultaneously for one of my friends. We intended to share the mussel starter!! My friend was unhappy and sent the lamb back because it was dry - so was the pork belly🤷♀️ definitely a disaster!! The manager tried to persuade my friend to have the lamb after the starter but my friend refused because a starter is a starter!! The service was appalling and very inconsistent!! There were discrepancies on the bill which was sorted out eventually! The manager mentioned that she didn’t charge my friend for the starter if it was a favour to us!! They created this chaos and didn’t want to take responsibility for it!! It seems that we were a problem!! They also changed as wine club members we are no longer allowed to taste champagne for free! I don’t have a problem with that, but they didn’t inform us prior to the tasty and with that I have a problem! I am not sure if we received the discount as wine club members on our food bill 🤷♀️. Amazing they couldn’t cope with 4 ladies having lunch and only ordered 1 starter, 4 main courses?! Sadly my friends will never go there again and it hurts me because I love this wine farm!

I invited my girlfriends yesterday for a wine tasting and lunch at one of my favourite wine farms! Wines, food, service and views are always amazing! This time they dropped the ball big time!! It started off very well with champagne tasting while we decided what to eat! I highly recommended the pork belly and rack of lamb. We waited ages for our food and we were the only guests for lunch! The starter didn’t appear either. Eventually after several times enquiring about our food, it arrived!! One of my girlfriends got her starter and main course simultaneously!!🤦♀️ The starter was forgotten and it was inevitable that the finished dishes were placed under the hot light while the chef was cooking the warm mussel starter. The pork belly and lamb were dry and looked unappetising! My friend sent the lamb back and just ate the starter. I was so embarrassed because I was so proud of this wine farm🥲.To crown it all there were discrepancies with the bill and the manager felt that my friend should be pleased that she wasn’t charged for the lamb although it was their mistake!! Needless to say my friend will not visit R&R again which is a shame! I don’t know if we got the discount as wine club members 🤷♀️. We did purchase wines!! The service was extremely poor!! 🤦♀️

Modern but fairly bland. Very stiff atmosphere and only 3 local wines to taste, the rest is French. Bit of a waste for local tourists.

After researching wineries in the area, this was one my wife didn't want to miss. It was one of the nicer wineries we visited, and had lovely grounds with fantastic views.
The staff was friendly and knowledgable, and was able to answer all the questions we had about the wines we tried.
We tried most of the tasting menu and enjoyed their South African and French selections.
The atmosphere was relaxing and we enjoyed our time here. I would recommend Rupert & Rothschild to anyone looking for a nice winery in Franschhoek.

My friend and I had lunch at my favourite wine farm yesterday and it was amazing! We both had the double baked soufflé, sultanas and a hazelnut butter noisette! I had the sea bass variety of tomatoes fromage blanc , kataifi pastry and Sumer! Yummy! My friend chose the suger snap pea and lemon risottto, toasted macadamia nut, creme fraiche and asparagus!! This is a dish made in heaven!! Delicious!! The service was attentive but not intrusive. Our waiter Shane was a gem! This guy knows his wines!! All the wines were superb!! Baroness Nadine is my favourite and of course the Barron! The champagnes always take me back to the Rothschild champagne house in France!! I would like to thank Juliet and the fantastic team for an amazing experience!! Sublime cooking!! Love you guys and I will always come back with my friends!

I was really looking forward to experience the high tea at Antony Rupert.
I've been somehow disappointed, as it was way too busy/crowded for me. I assume it was due to the bad weather, which obviously reduced the sitting space.
The service was good and the food selection as well. The tea selection was basic for a high tea and such a nice and famous place that Antonij Rupert is...
