You come to 96 Winery Road for steak in the Stellenbosch wine country. The restaurant opened in 1996 and has stayed with the same approach: fresh local ingredients, straightforward cooking, and a setting among the vineyards. The kitchen uses free-range meats and seasonal produce, with a wine list drawn from the surrounding estates.

Families can use the play area while adults eat at tables indoors or outside under the trees. The place works for long lunches and evening meals, with the vineyards as backdrop. The road between Stellenbosch and Somerset West brings most of the guests.

The restaurant has been here since 1996, when the owners set it up to serve the wine farms and their visitors.
