Indulge in leisurely lunches

Natalie Roos

Hey there! Let me tell you about this awesome daytime restaurant with a French twist. They serve delicious food that’s influenced by the local flavors. Picture this: you start with mussels cooked in cap classique or a mouthwatering beef tartare. For your main course, you can choose from Franschhoek trout with fried gnocchi, pan-fried butternut with confit mushrooms, or braised lamb shoulder with potato dauphinoise.

Now, here’s the best part. The restaurant also has Pierre Jourdan Cap Classique on their menu. It’s the perfect wine to pair with your meal. You can enjoy it by the glass or go all out with a bottle. The wine adds a touch of elegance and makes your lunch even more special.

Here’s a little secret: they offer a VIP two-course menu just for kids. So, if you’re bringing your little ones along, they’ll be taken care of too.

Hey there! Let’s talk about something really important – the cost. And don’t worry, I’ve got all the juicy details. When it comes to price, you have a few options. For two courses, it’s R320. But if you’re feeling extra hungry and want three courses, it’s R390. There’s even a special menu for kids with two courses that costs R190. If you’re in the mood for a glass of cap classique, it’ll set you back anywhere from R75 to R95. And if you really want to treat yourself, you can grab a whole bottle of cap classique for R200 to R250. Now that’s a deal!

Okay, now let’s talk about when you can visit. The place is open from Thursday to Monday, and the hours are 12pm to 3.30pm. So you’ve got plenty of time to plan a delicious meal.

Macaron + MCC pairing

If you have a sweet tooth, why not indulge in the Pierre Jourdan Cap Classique and macaron pairing? Haute Cabrière offers a stunning selection of cap classiques, each paired with a delicious and beautifully-crafted bite. You can choose from hazelnut, raspberry, or even honey with thyme flavors. The cap classiques available for this pairing are:

– Pierre Jourdan Brut

– Pierre Jourdan Belle Rosé

– Pierre Jourdan Belle Nectar

– Pierre Jourdan Blanc de Blancs

The cost for the cap classique tasting is R85, while the cap classique with macaron pairing costs R120. Haute Cabrière is open from Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm, Saturday from 8:30am to 5pm, and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

And if you have some extra time, why not linger a bit longer and enjoy the ambiance?

Hey there! I want to tell you about this amazing thing called sabrage. It’s this super impressive art of using a sword to open a bottle of sparkling wine. And guess what? It’s like the trademark of Haute Cabrière! So, here’s the deal: if you buy any bottle of Pierre Jourdan, you’ll get a free demonstration of sabrage. How cool is that? Of course, this is subject to the availability of one of the wine tutors who know how to do sabrage. So if they’re around, you’re in for a treat!
