You eat at Simon's on the Groot Constantia wine estate in Cape Town, where the kitchen works with seasonal ingredients from the Constantia Valley and Cape Winelands. The menu mixes classics with local dishes, and you can sit indoors or outside under the trees. The wine list draws from the estate's cellars.

The restaurant has a shuttle service that runs to and from Cape Town, so you can leave the car and take the estate wines with dinner. Dogs are welcome outside, with a menu of their own — liver biltong, free-range chicken, and biscuits made for them.

Groot Constantia is one of the oldest wine farms in the Cape, and the restaurant sits among its vineyards. The shuttle makes it accessible without driving; you call ahead to book it, and the cost goes on your bill.

The kitchen changes the menu with the seasons, so summer brings seafood and salads, winter stews and roasts. They host wine tastings and live music nights through the year, listed on their website.
