Neil Ellis Wines invites guests to embrace the season with the launch of its new winter menu at Neil Ellis Restaurant, available from 1 June to 31 August 2026.
Set against the backdrop of the Stellenbosch winelands, the seasonal offering celebrates comforting flavours, generous sharing plates and relaxed vineyard dining, perfectly paired with the acclaimed Neil Ellis wine portfolio.
Pick a good day under the trees
Guests can expect a thoughtfully curated selection of winter favourites, featuring comforting seasonal dishes such as hearty soups with toasted ciabatta, roasted and baked side dishes as well as their classic woodfired flatbreads. For those seeking bold Cape flavours, the Cape-Style Sosatie, available in line fish or chicken, offers a fragrant, lightly spiced curry experience paired with traditional “tamatie slaai”.
Delicious meat dishes
They still offer our signature Neil’s Cut, a 300g sirloin that speaks to the restaurant’s fire-inspired philosophy, while shared plates such as the Grazing Platter invite leisurely afternoons over local cheeses, charcuterie, preserves and toasted ciabatta, not to forget their rich decadent dark chocolate brownie with a vanilla gelato to finish.
Spoil yourself with dessert
Designed for long lunches and intimate gatherings alike, the winter-inspired menu reflects the warmth, authenticity and understated elegance synonymous with the Neil Ellis experience.
Cosy indoors
Whether enjoying a glass of Chardonnay beside a crackling fire or sharing seasonal dishes overlooking the vineyards, savour winter in the heart of Stellenbosch.
