After the wine-tasting, settle down in the restaurant for a light dinner. The menu has five sections:
– Platters
– Flammkuchen
– Mains
– Salads
– Dessert

It caters to different tastes, including Vegan, plant-based, meat-heavy, and classic options. The most popular dishes include seared beef fillet, beer-battered kingklip, and slow-roasted lamb shank. The dishes are best paired with the estate’s award-winning wines, available from R60 per glass.

Ambiance and Location at Constantia Glen

The large 300-seater venue is surrounded by 360-degree panoramas of towering mountains and sloping vineyards, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. The venue’s valley-hugging location on the northeastern slopes of Table Mountain offers some of the most amazing vistas (and wines) in Cape Town. The venue also features an indoor area with equally stylish booths for those who prefer to dine indoors.

Reviews

While the experience at Constantia Glen is generally positive, some guests have reported poor service and rude staff. However, many guests were impressed with the location, food, wine, and staff. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and Covid safety measures are in place.
