Haute Cabrière - the home of Pierre Jourdan

Springtime in the Franschhoek Valley means new leaves on the budding vines and fresh tastes on the menu at the Terrace Restaurant at Haute Cabrière. Nestled in the rugged slopes of the mountains above Franschhoek village, the Von Arnim family has lovingly cared for this beautiful farm for two generations. It offers exceptional views of the valley beyond.

The Terrace Restaurant of Haute Cabrière

The indoor-outdoor, light-drenched Terrace Restaurant has been designed to maximize the unbridled vine and valley views. The French-with-a-South-African-twist menus are accessible and change with the seasons. The new spring menu celebrates life, stories, excellent food, and wine, reflecting the von Arnim family’s philosophy.

The starters include smoked cheese and pea arancini in a pea velouté, mussels steamed with Pierre Jourdan cap classique, and beef tartare with Parmesan and parsley oil. Mains feature vegetarian ravioli with spinach, artichokes, and luscious sliced sirloin mushrooms and asparagus. Finish with indulgent Malva pudding with a miso butterscotch sauce, a rich praline tart, or the innovative spring freshness of chardonnay mousse with verjuice jelly and frozen green grapes.

While spring might put you in the mood for bubbly, we recommend picking at least one dish to pair with one of the notable réserve wines and blends (all available by the glass) that Haute Cabrière is renowned for. In addition, the exceptional pinot noir pairings will enhance your meal.

Cape Town’s “Red Wedge”: How a 900-Metre Airport On-Ramp Became South Africa’s Most Watched Kill-Zone

{“summary”: “The \”Red Wedge\” in Cape Town is a dangerous 900meter stretch of airport road. It’s famous for terrible crimes like carjackings and smashandgrabs, making it South Africa’s most watched ‘killzone.’ This area was poorly designed in the 1970s, which now helps criminals ambush cars. Even with many cameras, police struggle to stop the quick attacks. Now, a big wall is being built, and new tech like drones and special apps are helping to fight back against the robbers.”}

South Africa Beef Industry

South Africa’s 2025 Beef Surge: When Biology, Red Tape and a Thirsty Planet Collide

South African beef prices shot up in 2025, not because of local good news, but because the world ran short of red meat. Fewer cattle everywhere and China’s pork problems made other countries hungry for South African beef. Even with local sickness and people here buying less, farmers made more money. They sold to new places like the Middle East, using special tricks to get around problems. But the future is tricky, with animal sickness, changing weather, and how much money is worth all playing a part in what happens next for South African beef.

Western Cape Secession

A Province That Won’t Stop Knocking on the Constitutional Door

The Western Cape really wants to break away from South Africa, but it’s super hard because of the law. The country’s main rule says South Africa must stay as one, and changing that is almost impossible. Even though many people in the Western Cape feel left behind and want to control their own future, the government keeps saying ‘no’. So, for now, the Western Cape has to find other ways to get more power without leaving the country.
