Boschendal opens farm shop and eatery in Stellenbosch
The great news is that the team from Boschendal recently opened Boschendal at Oude Bank, a wine and farm shop in Stellenbosch. Here you can settle in for a wine tasting of some premium wines, grab a pie or freshly baked bread, shop artisan pickles and preserves, or have a sit-down meal of some delicious dishes.
Banking on Boschendal
As the name suggests the shop is situated in what was once a bank and previously home to Schoon de Companje. A beautiful old building, located on the corner of Bird and Church Street, it includes two levels; a spacious seating area at the back and by the kitchen as well as a few seating options outside, al fresco style.
The menu is small and simple, offering classic dishes such as salads, sandwiches and quiches, with most produce sourced from the vegetable gardens at Boschendal, making for some great tasting and finessed food.
Fresh and flavoursome
After an informative wine tasting, we settled outside for lunch. I chose the burger with Angus beef patty, mature Gouda, hand cut chips, and home-made garlic mayonnaise. It was juicy and tangy and supremely satisfying. My partner chose the organic maize coated fish and chips with charred onion dip, the fish was crisp and not overly greasy as most battered fish tends to be. Two thumbs up for both.
If a little space resides, one can order a slice of cake or pastries to eat there or take some home with you for later.
All in all a great addition to Stellenbosch’s flourishing food scene.
Boschendal at Oude Bank is open Monday-Friday from 7am – 5pm, Saturdays 8am - 5pm and Sundays 8am - 3pm. For more info go to www.boschendal.com
