Fermier Restaurant

Firstly , this was an experience.

Walking up that dirt road to this unsuspecting barn, added to the whole atmosphere.

The service was excellent. They have a well-stocked bar, you can order glasses of wine individually instead of going for the whole wine tasting add on.

The food was incredible. As far as tasting menus go , this was among the best I've ever had and value for money.

The celeriac course changed my life.

I left this place with a lasting impression , I will definitely go back.

Incredible attention to detail. Posh, rustic setting, giving you a rural experience in the city. Food was incredible- it teased each of your senses. Service was spot in: attentive, but not intrusive. If I were local, I would frequent more often.

Fine dining at its pinnacle. Dishes are well thought out, flavourful, with good portion sizes. Wine pairing is highly recommended for the full gustatory experience. Bomb dot com. You’re going to be paying for your experience though, and rightly so. Worth every rand.

For the love of all ignore the random 1 star guy he isn’t even reviewing anything... this place is awesome ... been a couple times now as it’s close to home , and cannot compliment the food enough, always worth a visit and service is incredible, yes it’s not a lose your mind party venue I’ve never experienced “shushing” because every time I’ve been guests have been enjoying their partners as for the 1 star guy... please take me to your grandmas house if she can cook like this , and honestly if you say you can cook above this level... how much to see you try. Trust me
Folks try this restaurant and come back repeatedly

There is no doubt this is a restaurant of excellence.
Yes to get to it is not elegant. Yes the barn is unusual. Yes it is expensive.
My long deceased granny's would not know such food could be cooked.
At the end of the day my wife celebrated her birthday in a very different way and it was enjoyable. What more could we ask for?

I went a month ago and I’m still thinking about the experience, food, and wine. This is a Michelin Star-quality restaurant ⭐️

For me, the best way to describe a fine-dining experience is to compare it to visiting an art gallery and appreciating the work of those who are masters of their craft. Though the craft is food preparation and the location a restaurant, it's still artistry!

We’ve been wanting to go @Fermier Restaurant for the past four years and finally managed to do so in celebration of our 11-year wedding anniversary.

Just like walking through an art gallery and being surprised with a beautiful or, more importantly!, interesting and challenging piece of art around every corner, Fermier delivered on every part of the experience. From approaching and entering the unpretentious venue, to being tended to with great care by the staff; there was not one aspect of the experience to fault.

With the open plan dining room and kitchen, the food theatre started and while watching the masters perform their craft, dish after dish arrived each delivering an experience of its own. Lobster and crevice … just bring us the pot of sauce, we’ll lick it clean. Sweat bread – Google this one! Asparagus with duck egg and truffle. So many more until, finally, berries, liquorice and dehydrated! chocolate mousse arrived to make sure our minds were properly blown.

I don’t think I will ever get tired of the feeling when a dish is placed in front of you and then going through the process of first seeing it, then tasting bits of it, then all the elements together and finally sipping a well paired wine and being left with varying emotions such intrigue, happiness, feeling perplexed, challenged, satisfied and, equally important, learning what it is that you do not like.

Finally, they did a stellar job of catering for my tree nut and avocado allergies. My dishes were just as complete and I didn't feel like my life was threatened nor that I was done in.
