Loved every minute. The food is tasteful and interesting and presented with flair. The wine pairing was exceptional on point and the cheese and coffee. Even the owner chef in the kitchen on a Saturday afternoon. We're coming back! View all feedback.
What Irina Vernikovskaya dislikes about Overture:
Overture has come to an end. I found bugs in the wine, and there were fingerprints on the clean dishes. The tablecloths weren't ironed, and there was dirt on the floor. The experience has truly reached its conclusion. View all feedback.

Great food accompanied with great wine and great service from the staff! Do make a turn before the 30th! Mushroom and gnocchi as well as rye souffle was an absolute winner! Lekker, baie lekker! Dankie!

Overture is over there were bugs is wine and fingerprints on cleansing dishes, there were non ironed table clothes and dirt on the floor the overture is truly over

Overture has always been on my list of places to have lunch and it was devine! We chose the 4 course menu with wine pairing! Every dish was tasty and had some traditional and complex flavours! The wines also paired very well with the dishes! Excellent service! The only thing I can maybe fault is the interior of the restaurant being a bit out dated.Will definitely be back.

Wonderful evening of the most amazing food! Honestly cannot fault them. Every ounce of care and thought was taken when planning the current menu. Definitely worth a trip back!

I had a world-class experience at Overture. The dishes were exceptional, complemented by a guava purée palate cleanser designed to enhance the entire menu. To start, the restaurant treated us to biltong ash and a candle made from animal fat, served alongside freshly baked bread. The views and gardens at Hidden Valley were breathtaking. The house wine was excellent, and there was a great selection of South African gins for gin enthusiasts. Bertus Basson truly crafted a remarkable dining experience for his guests.

Paradise! Excellent and exciting food. Stunning views. Unintrusive but efficient service. Sitting on the balcony for lunch is an all-round perfect experience

An amazing food experience with a lot of complimentary courses to justify the pricing. I can’t wait to come back. The soufflé was the best I have ever had!

I give this restaurant 5 stars! What more can I say? The chef and staff were friendly and interacted with the guests, and the food and wine were outstanding.

Exquisite food, lovely views and great wine. Have been back and still feel the same

Absolutely amazing food. Some of the best I had in South Africa!

Thank you Bertus and his team, food was divine, service was great, living up to the standards

Brillant, tasty and spezial food, nice wine, top views. Very relaxed, best service. We will be back on our next visit.

We went to a very nice lunch on a sunny Saturday, very relaxing in the beautiful wine region. We chose the 5 courses menu, there was a three courses option, but we were intrigued by everything we read on the list. It's a pity that we couldn't make wine pairing, but that's the rule for Level 4 . We'll be back soon, food was good and very well refined. Do not be worried by the size of the dishes at the beginning of the meal, you will not starve.
Excellent eating! vegan allergy friendly. amazing service. thanks to chef bertus, shaun and the team.
Wow, wow, WOW! We were treated by our company to a successful project start at Overture and we were thoroughly pampered! First, the views of Hidden Valley SPECTACULAR! Truly, they are among the most beautiful views in the wine areas, if not in Cape Town. The overture itself offers an incredible view from the dining area. The interior is very spacious and surrounded by glass windows. The food was very good. We were treated to a 5-course menu and each meal was fresh and tasty and the selection of wines we were given were delicious. The service was top-notch and we were very well looked after. A fantastic experience all around!
An absolutely amazing meal. Each course beautifully presented, so flavorsome, great service. Thoroughly enjoyed the nonalcoholic cocktails.

My expectations was high…. But it was met above expectations. What an amazing experience. Well constructed and designed 5 course menu. Dishes was perfectly executed and flavours well balanced. Exceptional wines available (although very expensive). Overall a bucket list entry I can check off and very satisfied with that.
