Lanzerac Taphuis is a historic gastropub in the heart of Stellenbosch, offering a relaxed atmosphere and delicious South African cuisine. The 330-year-old building features wooden beams, brick floors, and a massive fireplace, exuding a welcoming and cozy country charm.
During the summer, the broad, umbrella-shaded terrace overlooking the lawns and gardens with glimpses of the Jonkershoek mountains through the trees is the perfect spot to enjoy your meal. The venue is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting.
Local traditions inspire the menu, and Chef Stephen Fraser uses fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create a range of hearty sharing plates, light meals, and mains that will tantalize your taste buds. Some recommended starters, or sharing plates include sheep tails, biltong gnocchi, braaibroodjie (fire-grilled cheese sandwich), and the smoked-snoek mousse.
Pub-style classics such as smoked pork belly, chicken potjie, fish and chips, and a selection of burgers and steaks are also available. Burgers are top-notch. If you have a sweet tooth, try the new summer dessert menu, which includes lavender and Earl Grey panna cotta, Mrs. English baked cheesecake, or a light citrus fruit parfait.
The staff is attentive and friendly, and the service is excellent. Booking ahead is essential, as the Taphuis is a popular destination for locals and tourists.
In conclusion, Lanzerac Taphuis is the perfect spot for a lazy alfresco lunch in summer. With its delicious South African fare, friendly staff, and stunning surroundings, Lanzerac Taphuis is a true gem in the heart of Stellenbosch.
