Lost Stars

There are views...and then there are VIEWS...case in point, Haute Cabrière in Franschhoek, where the three of us (David, Jurgen and myself) found ourselves for a sunset drink, followed by a dinner abover the cellar. We had always driven passed Haute Cabriére and it was always on our 'to-do list', but somehow never managed to do so...then, when David rolled into town, we racked our brains about where to go...and it was suddenly clear that we had to try this restaurant. 

We started off with three glasses of the Cuvee Brut Rosé (which our waitress, Wendy, suggested), which was perfect and almost matched the sky above. Wendy continued to offer excellent advice throughout our meal, winking slyly at me as I gushed as the Cap Classique arrived.

​Our starters included two asian venison tartare dishes with a crackly brittle and raw egg and Jürgen had the beetroot trout, which had the correct earthy taste, followed by mains of prawin linguine and one gorgeous grilled line fish (which made David and me envious as Jürgen tucked in). Dessert was a wonderful affair with a mango parfait, a guava soufflé (a first) and a cheese plate that David eagerly devoured. After two espressos and one flat white, it was the end of a perfect evening, in the dimly lit restaurant overlooking the heavy oak barrels that made us sad we did not think about a wine tour.

Wow, I'm really captivated by this view. This looks like a fun place to visit. I'm really interested in going into this place in the future. The sunset is so beautiful, added to the serene background. I'd love to live in here, if I'm given the chance. I hope that you upload more pictures of your visit in here.
