Excellent value and service in a charming, bucolic setting. We could enjoy great braai goodies (braai broodtjies, salads, boerie, choppie, chicken kebab) and taste their wine - bonus: the wine tasting was free since we were eating. Of course, we ordered an extra bottle of Pinotage to help the delicious meal go down. Highly recommended, especially if you cannot braai at home and have guests from out of town who want to taste our national barbecue food. Note that you don't even have to see the braai itself, as the meal is served at your table in "blik" dishes, in a small and comfie farm restaurant.
Dear Springbok 1978Thank you very much for your visit to the Middelvlei Boerebraai as well the time you took to write a review. We are delighted to learn that you have appreciation for the quality of our food. We select our suppliers with great care and we try to show that simple, wholesome food is great!Thank you very much for the feedback on the children's activities as well as the content of the kiddie lunch box. We are re-looking the kiddie menu and will hopefully be ready on your next visit!Kind regardsThe Momberg Family
We went with 3 young, energetic boys and the setting was great. There was space to play, animals to pet and even balls and scooters! The relaxed atmosphere meant that the kids could be themselves without disturbing anyone.
I stopped here with the excellent one day Wine Flies wine tour and we had lunch here plus a wine tasting. The grounds are lovely and the family dogs - a huge black Great Dane, a huge Boer Bull and a cute little dachshund named Grappa make you feel right at home. Lovely place to get a dog fix whilst on holiday! The food which they called a Boerebraai an authentic South African BBQ included butternut squash soup, beef sausage, chicken skewer, salad and lovely grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches. We enjoyed a 2014 unoaked Chardonnay with lunch and a Pinotage/Cab blend. The farm setting is delightful with a beautiful mountain range in the background and cattle and calves plus a wallaby on site! We then took a wine tour and tried their merlot straight from the barrel via a wine thief - a long glass tube! Delightful!
We enjoyed the african braii at Middelvlei, a relaxing and tasty experience. It was a very childfriendly place and allthough the sandpit and the kickbikes was allmost worn out the kids really enjoyed them and the lawn. They also had the possibility to feed the small animals close to the restaurant. The place is not fancy at all but as said before, the food is really tasty and you will not leave the table hungry and the staff is serviceminded and seem to love their jobs.
Stumbled across Middelvlei whilst passing by. We've enjoyed some of their wines in the past, so decided to pop in on a whim. As soon as we were out of our vehicle, we were welcomed by the friendly hounds that abide there. The wines on offer were of a good quality, and extremely keenly priced too. There's also a small menagerie to one side - ideal if you have kids in tow. Will re-visit.
Even though we live close by in Cape Town, we decided to overnight in Stellenbosch. The self-catering accommodation on Middelvlei is comfortable and spotlessly clean. It's not far to the attractions that Stellenbosch has to offer but still isolated enough to feel as if one is far from the madness of the city. It was lovely having the owners dogs visiting and being able to have a fire (with ample wood available) in the cottage. The "boerebraai" was excellent. Even though there was a 21st luncheon happening at the venue, there was enough space for everyone. The presentation of the food and the packaging was very appealing.
Dear PrawnsssThank you very much for taking the time to write a review on your Middelvlei Boerebraai experience. It is always good to hear positive things from regular guests! We make our pumpkin fritters from an old, trusted family recipe from ouma Annie, wife to the first owner of Middelvlei! Hope you will soon be back for more! Kind regards The Momberg family
Anyone relying on the Tripadvisor map location to get to Middelvlei will get terribly lost and not reach their desired destination. Please check the Middelvlei website and rectify. It is NOT on the Helshoogte Road! It is at the end of Flamingo Road (Off Adam Tas Road) at the complete other side of Stellenbosch
We were a party of 12 adults and 5 children. Loved the child friendly space and staff. We started off with wine-tasting. Great wine. Service was good and the 'picnic' style lunch well worth it. Potbread with pate and jam for starters followed by lamb chop, chicken, boerewors (sausage) with salad and braaibroodtjie (roasted/toasted cheese and onion sandwich) - very tasty. The malva poeding a pleasant finish. The only critism is that the dessert portion is too small! Enjoyed by all and a 'definite must return'.
