Owner's description

La Colombe is one of South Africa’s most iconic and internationally acclaimed fine dining establishments.

Originally founded on the historic Constantia Uitsig wine estate it has recently relocated under new ownership to the picturesque Silvermist organic wine estate at the top of Constantia Nek, with breathtaking views overlooking the Constantia wine valley, False Bay and Hout Bay.

Executive chef Scot Kirton’s philosophy and approach lies in the fusion of Asian and French cuisine and the pursuit of excellence and perfection on each plate, resulting in numerous local and international awards.

The freshest seasonal produce, uncomplicated clean flavours and classical elegance are the essence of his inspiration and passion for food. Scot’s delivery of classic signature dishes and his endless array of sublime new inspirations form the mainstay of La Colombe’s À la Carte menu, as well as the Gourmand Tasting Menu.

With impeccable service and an award-winning winelist, La Colombe is a truly unforgettable experience.

    I cannot believe La Colombe has been 'discarded' from the Eat Out Top 10! I'm absolutely shocked and appalled! Judges obviously forgot to visit this wonderful slice of Heaven... No need for me to describe any of the meals I have had the pleasure of having there, as I'm sure many of the readers/bloggers have already experienced the same feelings for themselves; if not, then you're missing out! Well done to Luke and The Test Kitchen, great work!

    We had the most amazing meal at La Colombe. It was lunch time (they were fully booked for dinner more than a month ago when I made the reservation). Service was outstanding as always. Food was definitely the best I ever had in Cape Town. And it is on par with anything in Europe (3 star Michelin restaurants included). The springbok starter was beautifully presented amazing flavours, nothing could have been done better. Thank you La Colombe for keep your quality and high standards. Any new buyer of the Uitsig farm that even slightly consider to close down this restaurant would have to be mad and really brainless.

    What can I say? La Colombe you beaut.
    A few weeks ago, when planning my girlfriend's birthday lunch I was left with a tricky decision... Where do I take her? Which restaurant in Cape town has elegance, class and leaves you with a feeling that you didn't just eat at a restaurant? But rather that you just experienced something truly majestic. Well La Colombe was clearly the first to pop into my head. I haven't been since Luke Dale-Roberts left so with the exciting anticipation of the unknown I booked a table for the two of us. From the minute we arrived I was in awe of the famous service and attention to detail every patron receives. Our waitress, Rebecca was on top form all afternoon, the manager, Andrew, whom I had never met spoke to us in such a warm manner I felt as though he had known us for years. The Barman, James was kind enough to offer us a tasting of whiskey and made for us literally the best coffee I have ever had. A true barrister. One of the other waiters, Dale, was incredibly charming and knowledgeable about the history of the farm. Just when I thought it couldnt get better, A birthday plate was brought out with happy birthday Kristal written on it in dark chocolate. La Colombe from the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating not only a special day for both me and my girlfriend but also for reviving in me the belief that some restaurants do still get the right things right.

    What an exceptional evening! La Colombe presented a real sensory experience for my husband and I. The winter menu was ideal for the season. It warmed up our bodies as well as our souls. I loved every dish that was presented to us. This restaurant was the highlight of my trip to the Western Cape and has created another wonderfull memory for my husband and me. Thank you, La Colombe.

    Amazing food! Service! Everything was just incredible. Loved how the waitress describes each item on the menu on a big board in front of your table! Nice touch!
