The Pikant lunch menu features hearty, healthy meals that will pair beautifully with Uitkyk’s wines. From Oven Baked Honeyed Camembert to Bacon Wrapped Sirloin Skewers and enticing salads, the menu is deliciously diverse and ranges from R89 to R140 for a main meal.
With a rich history that dates back to 1712, the estate’s manor house is one of only three 18th century, double story, flat-roofed, Georgian style houses still standing in South Africa.
In addition to the restaurant’s lunch menu, the sprawling lawns that lay at the foot of the gracious Georgian styled Manor House at Uitkyk are ready to welcome guests who will enjoy the leisurely picnics on offer on the estate. Just in time for the new season, the estate’s popular picnics now have something new to offer guests to the farm.
Pikant’s tapas menu allows guests to make a selection and build a picnic basket filled with delicious treats. With a selection of breads, meats, cheeses and desserts, there is something for every palate that can be enjoyed reclining on the lawns under trees or in one of the Uitkyk picnic pods. With spectacular views that stretch out over the Simonsberg Mountains, it is the perfect way to while away a summer day and catch the sunset with a bottle of Uitkyk’s finest wine.
There is a special menu to keep the kids going as they play. From a hot dog on a stick, to Nutella and banana sushi, quesadillas and mini Greek salads, the selection is filled with treats that the little ones will love.
For guests who would like to book in advance, Uitkyk’s popular pre-booked picnics are still on offer – an option perfect for tour groups or functions.
