Cotage Fromage Country Bistro & Deli
Our vision is an authentic country bistro and deli experience, complementing the excellent Vrede en Lust wines with light, sophisticated and delicious cuisine. The emphasis is on healthy food made with the freshest ingredients.
A bakery and a deli stocked with local and specialty cheeses, olives and cured meats serves the restaurant and offer clients the chance to buy fresh country goods for their own kitchens. We proudly offer a growing range of organic deli products.
If you are a food and wine buff then have a look at our 6 course Tasting Menu designed by Duncan and Susan for lovers of food and wine with a bit of time available! Rated as serving one of the Top-10 cheese platters in South Africa by EatOut!
The Partners
Vrede en Lust partners with chef Duncan Doherty to offer an intriguing and fulfilling gastronomic experience.
The venue
The restaurant is a full-time venue catering for up to 120 diners. The new layout allows for private areas that may suit conferences or tour groups. Intimate evening functions for up to 70 guests at Cotage Fromage complement our Vineyard Terrace venue, which caters for larger events.
The restaurant was redesigned in keeping with the rustic, country feel of the original thatch and its historic roots. A new, wraparound, wind-protected veranda makes the most of the magnificent setting and views. The new fireplaces ensure the right atmosphere during our Cape winters.
The 120sqm kitchen has quadrupled capacity and is cleverly placed at the center of the restaurant giving efficient service to the adjacent deli as well. Parking has been provided for more than 100 vehicles.
