NEWS FLASH! Thursday nights just found a new rhythm.

Your favourite weekly jazz session has officially moved from Tuesdays to Thursdays, and from this week, Tefo Mahola and his crew will be setting the tone for the weekend ahead.

A drummer, percussionist, pianist, singer and composer from Gugulethu, Tefo’s sound moves effortlessly between jazz, groove, funk, jazz rock and Neo Soul, layered with storytelling that lingers long after the final note.

Take a fireside table, order a few of Chef Jürgen’s signature dishes, pour a glass of local red, and let the music do the rest.

PS. Consider this your sign to make it a date night!

This winter we’ve reimagined our restaurant offering, moving beyond a traditional à la carte lunch to introduce a five-course tasting menu.

Head Chef Eric Bulpitt joined the Ernie Els team at the end of 2023, bringing over two decades of experience from leading kitchens locally and abroad. Over the years, he’s made a conscious effort to work closely with nearby suppliers, sourcing quality products, and regularly adjusting the menu to show ingredients at their peak.

Our Signature tasting menu allows diners to honour what’s in season. From hand-rolled pastas and comforting broths to slow-cooked cuts and premium meats finished over the coals, it’s a sophisticated winter experience, with picturesque views of Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains.

Five-Course Signature Tasting Menu R650 per person | With Wine Pairing R1000 per person.

Available this winter from May 2026. Bookings are essential.

Ease into the weekend the right way.
