Lunch in Guardian Peak in Stellenbosch on Freedoms day

In the middle of vinyards mountains and a big blue sky lies Guardian Peak restaurant in Stellenbosch

Awesome views delicious food and an endless supply of yummy wine

makes it difficult to leave

I was there for 3 and half hours !

It was a National holiday in South Africa 

 Freedoms day

Freedom Day commemorates the first democratic elections held in South Africa on 27 April 1994

                          

Theses were the views from my table

I do not get a sense of autumn yet in Green Point but here it definitely looked like autumn with the russet colours of the vinyards Just so beautiful

This is the time of gorgeous sunsets as well

and the tents are steadily growing

Emily's restaurant in Plettenberg Bay

I had read about Emily's restaurant The setting is gorgeous with an amazing view of the river and the wetland valley and you can take Emily Moons canoes out along the Bitou river to enjoy the peace and quiet and see the many beautiful birds but unfortunately my Thai salad was a disappointment

The restaurants I tried in Plett and can highly recommend is Sand in the Plettenberg Hotel for a special dinner, it was superb from beginning to end and that includes the staff and the Bramon Wine Estate for lunch I very much enjoyed their mezze platter
