Almost Orange Tapas And Wine Lounge (no Under 16)

One of our ultimate favourite lunch spots must be Almost Orange in Hartbeespoort. This gem is on the same premises/part of the very well-known Silver Orange Bistro. We actually haven't visited Silver Orange Bistro before, because we just keep driving past to get to Almost Orange. This part of the premises used to be utilised as a function/wedding venue, but a couple of years ago the decision was made (yay! to have a separate eatery here, and open it up to more foot traffic/customers It truly feels as if you are spending time "Under The Tuscan Sun" surrounded by an orange orchard. This time of the year the orchard is a beautiful sight of green and orange, so it makes the experience even more special. Almost Orange has got a concise menu, featuring mainly sharing platters. But don't fret, you will find a platter that will satisfy your cravings. Our standard order is the Mediterranean Platter (Marinated olives, Roasted peppers, Marinated artichokes, Hummus, Tapenade, Sun-dried tomato pesto, Greek feta and Ciabatta with an order of the most delicious Panzanella salad you've ever tasted. Their wine list features a few wines that you probably won't find in the immediate vicinity , as well as a few imported Portuguese wines. This is the perfect spot for a long and lazy lunch with friends, we just keep going back for more. No children under 16 allowed.<br/ <br/ Ambience: Relaxed outside seating, on the patio for the sunseekers or under the trees for people like me Service: Friendly, efficient Menu Variety: Mainly platters, but lots of vegetarian and banting options available if that is your vibe Food: Fresh, delicious, perfect for sharing Drinks: A good wine menu, as well as an extensive gin selection.

Make sure to make a reservation, as it tends to be quite popular. It's a perfect getaway from the city for a refreshing break in the countryside.

This is a fantastic spot for delicious tapas and a wide variety of drinks, especially gin. It has a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of a charming cape wine estate, making it perfect for a leisurely weekend afternoon with friends.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem! The ambiance is remarkable, set within an orange farm, and they have an impressive gin selection along with delicious tapas sharing platters. I highly recommend it!

Ambience: <br/ I was absolutely blown away by this venue! It literally feels like you’re in a French countryside. <br/ <br/ Food: <br/ We loved the fact that you go here for platters rather than huge meals. We decided to have the almost orange platter and the orchard platter to share amongst us. The duck&fig samosas were delicious! We then had the creme brûlée and the chocolate tart which were both so delicious. <br/ <br/ Service: <br/ Our waiter was the best! Very friendly and attentive. <br/ <br/ We will definitely be back.
