The revamped 'Camphors at Vergelegen' (formerly the Vergelegen Restaurant) offers lunch service Wednesday to Sunday from 12h00-15h00 and dinner service Friday to Saturday from 18h30-21h00. This 'Signature' restaurant which overlooks expansive lawns and gardens, takes its name from the magnificent 312 year old camphor trees guarding the historic Homestead.
The Vergelegen Team including Chef Garth Stroebel have brought acclaimed Chef PJ Vadas on board for this next chapter of Vergelegen’s hospitality rejuvenation. The resultant menu is cuisine that shows simple restraint with complex precision. Vergelegen produces classical wine varietals and the menu reflects a modern take on international and local classical food dishes, specifically designed to support local producers.
Reservations are essential and
can be made by telephoning 021 847 1346 or via email: camphors@vergelegen.co.za. We look forward to welcoming guests to this
stunning new dining option at Vergelegen. Please note that the Camphors Restaurant will be closed from 03-27 June inclusive, re-opening on Friday, 28 June 2013.
PICNIC
Please note that picnics are now closed for the Autumn/Winter season and will re-open on 01 November 2013 with an exciting new menu for 2013/2014.
The word picnic consists of "pic" meaning to pick at food, and "nic" referring to something small. So, you will be given a superb selection of small things to pick at to please both the palate and the senses.

"Men and women today do not spend whole days at the dining table and ten-course meals have disappeared. But more than ever before, food, through the choice of dishes and their preparation, forms an integral part of life and remains the natural expression of conviviality."
