When you dine at Vuur, it’s not just a meal – it’s a magical experience. Each visit is filled with delightful flavors, captivating conversations, and the refreshing scent of the countryside. And the best part? You’ll have the pleasure of savoring a variety of Remhoogte wines throughout your journey.
Hey there! I want to tell you about this incredible chef named Shaun Scrooby who turned an old stable into a charming little restaurant. It’s located in a cozy valley next to a farm dam, right below the tasting room at Remhoogte Wine Estate. When you’re there, you can catch glimpses of wild animals like wildebeest, springbok, and even zebra grazing in the nearby pasture. The atmosphere is amazing!
Prepare to be amazed!
Imagine stepping into a kitchen with a classic charm, where a deep hearth crackles with a roaring fire. It’s like taking a step back in time. That’s the atmosphere at Shaun’s place. You see, Shaun and his team have mastered the art of cooking over an open flame. They make it all seem effortless, deftly manipulating the glowing embers to create mouthwatering dishes.
But they don’t stop at the basics. Oh no, Shaun and his team take it to a whole new level. They experiment with different cooking techniques, like smoking, steaming, and searing. And let me tell you, the results are something to behold. Each dish is carefully plated, with just the right amount of flair. It’s like a performance, with the fire as the star of the show.
A tantalizing culinary adventure
Hey there! Let me tell you about this amazing menu I discovered. It’s all about using local ingredients, and what’s really cool is that it changes every week. And get this – it’s not just about meat! Each course has a fiery twist to it, which really brings out the flavors.
We started off with a delicious homemade warthog boerewors on toasted baguette. The combination of flavors was absolutely mouthwatering! Next, we had some smoked leeks in a Romesco sauce. The smokiness added a nice depth to the dish. Then came the succulent prawns with roasted Clemengolds and pickled turnips. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors was a real treat for the taste buds.
Now, let me tell you about the ultimate grilled sandwich – the braaibroodjie. Picture this: Dalewood feta, olives, and caramelized onions all sandwiched together and grilled to perfection. It was savory and oh-so delicious!
After a refreshing celery-and-apple palate cleanser, we were served a special smoked G&T cocktail. The presentation was artful, and the flavors were out of this world!
For the main course, we were treated to a perfect Karoo lamb chop with sweet potato. The meat was tender and full of flavor. And then, the grand finale – juicy rare ostrich steaks, finished off with flaming wagyu fat. The flames added an extra touch of excitement to the dish.
Strawberries roasting on an open fire
Hey there! Can I just say, the dessert at this place is unbelievable? It’s like someone took a regular strawberry and magically made it burst with flavor and a subtle smoky taste. They serve it with creamy panna cotta and decadent chocolate ganache, and to top it all off, they even sprinkle some crispy smoked bacon on it. It might sound a little strange, but trust me, it’s absolutely amazing!
And just when you think you’re finished, they bring out a surprise cheese course to end the meal on a high note. It’s the perfect way to finish off a cozy fireside feast.
Gather ’round the table
When it comes to Vuur, they have seating for up to 10 people inside and 12 outside during the summer. Normally, it’s reserved for private groups, but they also offer a shared table experience once a month that you can book as an individual. This experience usually includes around six courses, but with all the extra little surprises, it feels more like eight. Spending an afternoon at Vuur is a lovely social experience where you can take your time and enjoy good company. You should plan for at least four hours, although it’s so enjoyable that you might find yourself staying well into the evening, engaged in lively conversation.
