De Kloof - Johan Rissik Dr

The Winter tasting menu at De Kloof is a very enjoyable experience. The first impression of ambience is great, the lighting isn't too bright and the decor isn't modern or outdated, it's just comfortably itself. The service immediately impressed me.<br/ <br/ Another thing that impressed me is how seamlessly the restaurant incomperates ingredients to reflect the season that might not be conventional. The execution of different cooking techniques also impressed me greatly. No dishes felt gimmicky or forced either, which was a great relief compared to some fine-dining establishments.<br/ <br/ We started off with a shiitake mushroom soup with the most divine grana padano profiteroles and thyme gel. The wine pairings were fantastic. Afterwards, we moved onto harissa butterfish with more gorgeous wine. Then, wild boar ravioli (my absolute favorite! followed by delicious filet and kudu cigars. The best was dessert, an ode to butternut. It featured butternut malva and sorbet, balanced with honeycomb and butterscotch. Cognac topped it off and the meal was complete.<br/ <br/ The service truly is great, albeit a bit slow. I'll definitely be returning!

Our family visited De Kloof Restaurant a while back. We had an amazing time! We had their 5 course tasting menu with paired beverages. The experience was absolutely amazing! Even though their prices are very high, it really is worth it for a special occasion. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere!

This is such a hidden gem. I am so glad we found it when we did. <br/ <br/ We chose this venue for dinner, however I think a Sunday lunch might be even more beautiful for the picturesque views.<br/ <br/ Food was delicious and made to order,just how I love it. The waitress was very sweet and kind. She knew her wines and was such a pleasure to engage with. <br/ <br/ The was a calming ambience. It was a great overall experience, mind the drive if you are travelling from the north.

De Kloof is the more prestigious fine dining experience of the DK group, should you like us not have been to De Kloof but tasted the DK Wagyu beef burgers downstairs then please powder your noses, put on a formal shirt and rock them heels. The ambience is romantic with the views, soft music and lightly lit luminescence making it a perfect date night for any special occasion or just ensuring that your partner feels special from time to time. Spring Restaurant Week time so we absolutely had to make this our first visit to De Kloof in the beautiful Waterkloof Golf Estate. The meals were fantastic and the service excellent. Only one critique the portions are a little bit on the small side but other than that they were delicious.

Oh My Soul,the food was absolutely delicious, everything on my plate was just amazing. Service was great got such a warm reception all smiles, our waitress Lia was so so friendly and efficient even went as far as explaining what was on our plates. Given that it was a Sunday the place was somewhat empty which allowed me to look around and enjoy the elegance of the place and the lovely view overlooking the golf course, I have no complaints. Great lunch
