Unspoiled by culinary pretensions brushed with a fresh stroke of homely furnishings, this jovial Winelands eatery offers the perfect hotspot to ease into the weekend with steaming pots of a la cheese indulgences, comforting the winter blues. The new, extended restaurant area also sports a cosy bar and separate dining section for private functions.
Lose yourself in retro-nostalgia and let Austrian chef Harald Siedler treat you to Eikendal’s spin on the cheese fondue - now even bigger than in its seventies heyday. With the owners of this Helderberg winery being Swiss, it is no wonder the restaurant has developed a loyal following of fondue fans over the last two decades.
Gruyere and Emmenthal meet superb Eikendal wines in a three course dinner including a hearty soup, a dreamy Cheese Fondue served with vegetables and bread and rounded off with dessert. The evening includes a traditional glass of Glühwein on arrival as well as live music to lift a buzzing cosmopolitan vibe.
Tickets for this Eikendal fondue fantasy cost R85 per head.
