So here is the good news for couples getting married. La Penita ( R44) Stellenbosch, has a stunning venue for you! Surrounded by Strawberry fields and stunning views of the mountains...this venue has a stunning space to dress up, and offers you the option of only renting the venue ( bring your own caterers), or you can choose their Wedding Package. There is plenty of parking, bar facilities, trees...grass area and patio....a little bit of Tuscany!Good food and friendly staff.

This is a great restaurant. Staff is always so friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious and always such generous portions even when it comes to kids dishes. The play area is a winner and therefore perfect for families. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!

A lovely scenic spot, large kiddies play area.Had breakfast and thats where things fell apart a bit. We waited for quite some time to have our order taken and then the order was incorrect with one of our meals alongside many pieces of very burnt toast.We will be back to try the lunch menu, maybe we will have a better experience then....

Kids Entertainment: 10 out of 10. Grass, space, jungle gym, and light aircraft in the sky.Kids Food: Standard options. Would have preferred a healthy option for kids, not just the usual chicken strips, chips and pizza. My daughter ended up eating the salad on the adult plates. My son devoured the pizza. Why not have both options available?Prices: above average, but worth it.Service: Shaun/Charl? (sorry) went above and beyond. Exceptional!Food: above average - not outstanding, but very good.View: Priceless sunset with Table Mountain in the background.

This is a wonderful place to accommodate the entire family. Great menu selection. The food was delicious. The kids had the best time playing outside. Inviting ambience. Good food takes time to prepare so do not be in a hurry.

Exquisite! A trip for us down memory lane. My parents used to live in Somerset West and in the 90s attended this restaurant often. It was one of their favorites! My Dad passed away and Mum always wanted to return so we did last weekend and we only had brunch but it was lovely. The food, the ambiance and the setting. Thank you so much for keeping it so special. Even with modernization it still holds our memories. Natty

Absolutely amazing. Great for any meal, their chilli poppers will blow you away and all other food is yummy. Massive grassy area and kids play area, yet far enough for couples to dine without kids as well. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Big disappointment... That I have only just found this place after frequenting the Stellenbosch area for so many years. This is by far one of the most beautiful gems ever. The restaurant is very well laid out with lovely areas with wonderful bay windows that open right back. A spacious deck that literally overlooks the whole of the Cape flats all the way to the Table Mountain range making for exceptional sunsets. The lawns are meticulously looked after along with the gardens and childrens play area. The play area is populated and well kept and with variety and all in excellent working order.The hostess was incredibly welcoming and attentive and quickly had our chairs changed out for two of our guests with back injuries, without us even asking. Her waitron and bar team were all super attentive and showed a solid culture. I heard many regulars catching up with the staff.On the way in I also noticed a wonderful reception and banquet area for parties (in the pics herewith) entirely separate but also with great setting.I was afraid to order as I didnt want the exceptional experience to possibly be tainted by mediocre food. Well, they totally aced that as well with every dish and the paired wine being exceptional.So Ill quench my disappointment of missing out on this amazing place by making it my go to every time Im in that area in future.

I decided to try out La Pineta after driving passed it so many times to and from tastings Ive done in the area, I am glad I decided to see what all the fuss is about. The atmosphere is just amazing, especially during sunset. Theres a lovely play area for the little ones and the staff are all just too kind. The Gin and Tonic on tap was really nice and I loved that the beef burger came with both salad and chips, so I didnt feel so guilty having carbs. U cant wait to visit again, thanks for making us feel welcome here.

Lovely interior! Friendly hostess, only downer was the long wait for food, we ordered our main together with our one starter but it took a considerable time to come and even after asking about where it was it took some time, no particular reason for the delay was given. The mains, steak were average, dessert was better and they made a bit more effort, in terms of a birthday message which was nice thank you.

Friendly service, great food and amazing play area for the children. Outside options for seating if social distancing is a concern. Only losing a star for an extended wait for food to arrive but perhaps we got unlucky with a large table inside ordering at the same time as us.

Probably our favourite Stellenbosch restaurant. Definitely the best view over vineyards and out to Table Mountain.Fantastic food, excellent kids playground.And a special shout out to Adkins: our waiter went way beyond the call of duty to resolve a kid’s tantrum by having a patient conversation about dessert with our tired little boy who was sulking outside. Thanks Adkins!!
