Description

So there I was, strolling down Dorp Street in Stellenbosch, when the tantalizing aroma of grilled meat practically led me to De Vleispaleis Steakhouse. Seriously, it’s hard to miss this spot, nestled right in the heart of the town’s buzzing restaurant scene. And, wow, what a vibe!

The moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere hit me like a warm hug. The decor? Classy yet comfy—super inviting. I’ve heard that the owners boast nearly 40 years of experience in crafting mouthwatering steaks, and trust me, they know their craft. With a 4.6 out of 5 rating from over 450 reviews, it’s clear they’re onto something good here.

Now, let’s talk food. I ordered the fillet, and guys, it melted in my mouth like butter! The portion size was impressively generous—definitely come hungry. And they threw in these delightful vetkoek and gravy starters to kick things off. Talk about an unexpected treat! That’s just smart hospitality; you feel like you’re being pampered, right?

By the way, the staff? Total rockstars. They were friendly and efficient, ready to recommend just the right wine to pair with my meal. Speaking of drinks, their cocktail menu looked tempting—maybe next time?

I also appreciated the outdoor seating. Who doesn’t love a good meal while soaking in the sun? Plus, they’re accommodating for families and even welcome furry friends on the patio. Nice touch, right?

However, I did hear someone grumble about the restroom situation. Apparently, it’s shared with other places and could use a little TLC. That’s something to keep in mind.

All in all, De Vleispaleis is a gem of a steakhouse. The mix of amazing food, lively atmosphere, and stellar service makes it a must-visit. If you’re in Stellenbosch, don’t sleep on this one! Book your table because they seem to fill up fast—and for good reason.
