Comments on the Beads Bistro and Restaurant in Stellenbosch in South Africa

The Beads Bistro & Restaurant in Stellenbosch, South Africa.




We had lunch at Beads restaurant in Stellenbosch on Sunday, 28 Feb 2010.

The restaurant's web page,  www.beadsrestaurant.co.za
describe the establishment as follows:

"Nestled in tranquil shade underneath majestic oak trees, yet amid the vibe and energy of Stellenbosch's historic centre - this is where you will find a lively and colourful establishment that is fast becoming one of the Winelands' premier dining destinations. Beads Restaurant caters for the contemporary palate with a menu filled with a medley of international influences - it's classical cuisine with a twist of fusion. With cosy fireplaces in every room for winter or French doors flung wide open on a balmy summer's day, it's the perfect setting for any season."

My experience of the food and ambiance is more in line with the following comments of Trip Advisor:

"Delightful Al Fresco Dining"

"This restaurant has one of the best locations in the old town quarter of Stellenbosch - it's a beautiful old building with not only great streetside seating, but a relaxed courtyard garden too."

"But while Beads's location and atmosphere is perhaps it's star attribute, the food is not to be scoffed at. It's good, honest food without pretense, thoughtfully and tastefully prepared."

Although there is a very nice courtyard, we sat on the street side pavement to get the maximum breeze and shadows to fight off the 36 degrees heat that the Cape experience at the moment.

The food was light and fresh and interesting with a good enough variety to satisfy everybody's needs.

From where we sat we had a lovely view on the old Dutch Reformed church at the top of the street.
