Located about 50 minutes east of Cape Town, Reuben’s Restaurant & Bar, eponymously named for chef-owner Reuben Riffel, is a sophisticated brasserie. The setting is modern and the menu features both classic and contemporary offerings. Try the tandoori-style black tiger prawns with saffron rice or the mouth-tingling lamb vindaloo with chile peppers. Considering its location in one of South Africa’s most esteemed wine regions, Reuben’s wine list is extensive, featuring top-drawer local picks as well as an impressive selection of french bottles. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail in the restaurant’s “Gooney Bar”; the counter is made from an old airplane wing similar to the DC-47 known as the Gooney Bird.
