All that’s missing is you
It’s true. 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 cannot wait to welcome you.

OUR FOOD
Its all in the tasting
Chef Carolize Coetzee might be home-grown, but her cuisine is world-class. Inspired by the local countryside and farm produce, she’s designed Tokara Restaurant’s menu to celebrate refined farm-to-table cuisine. And she’s so looking forward to spoiling you.
Raised in the small town of Humansdorp, in the Eastern Cape, her fondest memories are of laughing and sharing stories around the kitchen table while watching her mother prepare recipes passed on from previous generations.
“My most cherished food memories involve emotional and physical sensations. Some are rooted in the expectation of reliving a fond memory, like waiting for a cherished ingredient to be back in season. While others are more nostalgic, for instance, heaping that morning slice of farm bread with my grandmother’s homemade marmalade.” Carolize Coetzee
