The Bistro at Brookdale Estate

Where provenance meets invention ...
Keeping food miles low with thoughtful creations & new forms …
The next chapter of Brookdale Estate’s Cinderella tale takes its shape in The Bistro and the Tasting Room found at our newly established cellar.
Found on gentle slopes in our furthest corner of vineyards, The Bistro gazes out across a sea of new vines and the mountainous landscape of our valley. With no other buildings or people in sight, it seems as though you are a world away. Here, in this pastoral paradise, menus will move to nature’s rhythms under the culinary wisdom of Executive Chef, Gary Coetzee.
Who's Cooking?
Chef Gary Coetzee
“I search for produce and ingredients that are wholesome, nurtured, and bursting with flavour. This means sourcing the best seasonal, local produce in the Paarl Valley for The Bistro and Manor House. From there, it’s simply a case of marrying flavours, exploring textures, and discovering new combinations. Each plate is being designed to spark the palate, ignite the mind and awaken joy.”

An Evening of Fine Wine, Exceptional Food... and a Little Mystery
Join us on Thursday, 27 August for an exclusive Winemakers Dinner at The Bistro @ Brookdale — with a twist nobody saw coming.
For one night only, Chef Gary swaps his kitchen for the cellar and Xander trades the cellar for the kitchen. Five courses, expertly paired wines with two experts, in unfamiliar roles, making for one unforgettable evening. Will it be a masterclass or a magnificent gamble? You'll have to be there to find out.
Expect discovery, conversation, a fair amount of good-natured rivalry and a few unexpected moments.
