Hungry for some delicious food while on your way to Hermanus? or simply in need of some fresh air and some Award Winning Paul Cluver Chardonnay? well ...who knew that you could have all those needs satisfied at FRESH on the Paul Cluver Wine Estate ? we were invited by Paul & Alex Cluver to join them on the Farm last weekend and lunch was an absolute delight. Simple, tasty, and really FRESH....all the veggies, herbs, berries, etc. are straight from the Cluver Vegetable Garden right outside...Vesper, Alex and I went on a very exciting walk around the garden after lunch and we went home with a bag full of strawberries, pomegranate, figs, yellow and red tomatoes, basil, apples, etc....( sorry but the picking in the garden is not for everyone!!).
You can have lunch inside on big communal tables...or outside in the beautiful garden looking out at the absolutely gorgeous Cluver Estate.
Chef Joan, roams through the tables talking about the food she is preparing in the kitchen and entices you to try a few of her creations with her warm welcoming smile!!! We tried 3 different salads, some Cape Salmon, Stuffed Figs and a decadent chocolate brownie ....the wine was perfectly chilled and a great afternoon was enjoyed by ALL!!! apparently she also makes a killer curry!
FRESH is only 50 minutes away from Capetown, so whether you are on your way somewhere on the garden route- or your are looking for a great venue for Breakfast Or Lunch....GO!!!! it's well worth the ride there...
FRESH is open Tuesday to Saturday for Breakfast and Lunch. Bookings recommended 071- 563 6020.
Kids Friendly.
and by the way....CONGRATS to Paul Cluver for making the TOP 5 Wineries in the country.
