Tokara Delicatessen
Tokara Delicatessen is a farm-to-table bistro and deli on the Tokara wine estate, set among olive groves and vineyards with views of the Simonsberg. Chef Stephanie de Wet, who grew up on a farm in Swellendam, cooks hearty bistro-style dishes using ingredients from the estate’s hydroponic greenhouse and vegetable garden — micro-leaves, salad greens, and strawberries feature on the menu. The deli also stocks gourmet pantry items and local produce.
The space is family-friendly, with an outdoor play area to keep children occupied while parents dine. The menu covers breakfast and lunch, served in a glass pavilion or on the deck overlooking the vineyards. The kitchen’s focus is on fresh, seasonal ingredients, with dishes that appeal to both children and adults.
Tokara’s wines are available at cellar-door prices, and the deli doubles as a shop for estate-produced goods. The setting — between vineyards and olive groves — makes it a relaxed stop for families or anyone exploring the Stellenbosch wine route.
