From deep fried camembert to hand cut venison carpaccio – savour delicious and hearty South African fare, and that’s just for starters! Tuck into our classic Country Kitchen Burger served with fries, or for a healthier take why not sample our new ‘Impossible burger’ made completely vegan and completely delicious. Desserts are another highlight, try our delicious chocolate brownie or the malva pudding served with butterscotch sauce and amarula ice cream.

Dishes made with locally sourced ingredients



We favour home grown and local flavours wherever possible and so our menu has been specially created to celebrate the finest ingredients that have made a short journey from source to your fork (some so short it’s just walking to the garden and back!).

We work hard to reduce our food miles and we are proud to have some fantastic local specialities on our menus! And it doesn’t just stop at the food; at Mont Rochelle we are in a unique position to be able to serve a wide range of high quality wines from our very own vineyard. We’re all about footprints in the sand and not in carbon, so when you dine with us you can rest assured the food is sourced locally and responsibly.
