What people say
Helena's Restaurant, located in the iconic Coopmanhuijs at 33 Church Street, Stellenbosch, offers a remarkable culinary experience. The restaurant is housed in two areas within the hotel - a spectacular dining-room adorned with richly embossed French wallpaper and trees made of wire, and a glass-roofed conservatoire furnished with hand-hewn poplar wood chairs and decorated with artisanal tiles by Ruan Hoffmann and plates by Gerrit Oosthuizen.
The menu is designed to reflect the fresh produce of the Boland, with specific emphasis on freshness and food provenance. Helena's Restaurant sources locally-sourced (often artisanal) ingredients to create heart-crafted heritage food with a subtle twist. The aim of the restaurant is to serve heritage food with finesse.
To complement the new restaurant, the European-style Tonga Door wine lounge at Coopmanhuijs offers some of the finest local wines. The combination of exceptional food and wine makes for an unforgettable dining experience.
Helena's Restaurant consistently ranks #1 on www.tripadvisor.com among restaurants in Stellenbosch. It is no surprise that this restaurant has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike who are looking for an exceptional dining experience in a beautiful setting.
