Dining at Mont Rochelle

Breakfast

Good morning! Goeie môre!

Take a seat for one of the most important meals of the day - breakfast is available for both our guests and non-resident guests. Tuck into some light bites from the buffet or order something more substantial like eggs royale or some french toast. How do you like your eggs in the morning? View our breakfast menu here for guests and here for day visitors

À La Carte

Dine at MIKO from our A La Carte menu and sample an array of fresh, seasonal dishes that showcase the produce in our area (as well as our chefs talents). From creamy risottos to warming soups and fresh baby leaf salads, and that's just for starters, to more hearty mains of venison loin or a simply grilled and sustainably caught fillet of fish, topped off with a slice of baked popcorn and ginger biscuit vanilla cheesecake! There's plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes too, and our chef will be more than happy to adapt any issues wherever possible. View the menu here.

Terrace & Bar Menu

Our bar & lunch menu reflects the seasons. Snack on one of the lighter salad options such as the fresh Franschhoek Smoked Trout salad or share a platter for two. Looking for something a bit more filling? Try some firm favourites like the Sparta beef fillet, the Impossible burger (vegan) or the mouth-watering traditional South African Braai Broodji. View the bar & lunch menu here.

A Taste of MIKO

This five-course tasting menu is the perfect way to get to know Mont Rochelle, it features our favourite seasonal dishes and pairs them to perfection with our homegrown, award-winning wines. View A Taste of MIKO menu here.

Little Corkers

For our Little Corkers (that's kids under 12) we have created menus with them in mind, but they're welcome to choose from our main menus if they'd prefer. Kick start the day with some simple scrambled eggs or a yummy peanut butter sandwich. View the breakfast menu here.

Both lunch and dinner feature favourites such as fish nuggets, spaghetti bolognese or pizza, and some sweet treats for dessert. View the main menu here

Wines

As well as showcasing our award-winning wines of the Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties (amongst a few others), which are grown, pressed and bottled in our vineyard here at Mont Rochelle, we also have an extensive wine list to choose from. Sample a sparkling wine from Stellenbosch, a rosé from Paarl or a warming red from Hermanus. View the whole menu here.
