Will be staying at spier in January, and looking for restaurants not too far for a great dinner. Given that the rand is the only currently weaker than the dollar, budget is not a consideration.

A bit off topic of a great dinner....but...

My wife and I went to the Winelands and stayed in Franschhoek. We toured Spier, and it was nice, but we had an amazing basket lunch at a vineyard called Boschendal. You call ahead and order a basket and wine, then pick it up and eat out of the grounds. It was a very nice experience. One of my favorite of the region.

Enjoy your time there, it is my favorite place on earth!

Three words: Le Petite Ferme. Located in Francshhoek. Please secure reservations as this is one of the best restaurants in southern Africa.

We went to La Petite Ferme last fall and while the food was great and the view heart stopping they were only open for lunch.
