The Guinea Fowl Restaurant

The Guinea Fowl Restaurant

Saxenburg Wine Estate has long been regarded as one of the Cape's premier wine producers, but it is also home to the Guinea Fowl Restaurant which opened in 1991 and has achieved widespread acclaim for the fine dining it offers in gracious surroundings. The restaurant is situated in what was once an old cellar and is most attractively decorated in warm shades of yellow with an African theme to the soft furnishings and artwork, much of which is for sale. An interesting feature of the restaurant are the impressive chandeliers which are surrounded by unusual mirrored panels and reflect the light perfectly in the evenings bringing glamour and elegance to the interior.

The restaurant opens onto a large vine-covered terrace surrounded by a glorious garden and panoramic views of Cape Town and the mountains. The exceptional setting makes the Guinea Fowl a sought after venue for private functions and in particular wedding receptions. A recent addition to the Estate is a thatched lapa with its own bar area which offers casual dining throughout the day. From its elevated position next to the old slave bell, the lapa is an ideal venue to enjoy pre-dinner drinks before a function and watch the sun go down over the distant mountains.
