Nestled on Hooggelegen Farm opposite Signal Gun Wines in Durbanville, Wilde Vy Bistro offers a refined yet inviting dining experience set around a graceful wild fig tree, blending pastoral charm with contemporary design. Created by acclaimed chef Jürgen Snyman and Ghanaian entrepreneurs Kwasi Osei-Kusi and Charles Bucknor, Wilde Vy reflects a people-centered ethos—with ongoing staff development rooted in mentorship by restaurant luminaries. Designed by Design Build Collective, the interior preserves historical elements of the farm using warm organic materials—wood, rustic brick, concrete—elevated with marble and brass accents, creating a harmonious balance of heritage and modernity. The menu spans Small Plates (Happies), Raw, Salads, Sea, Fire Grill, Vegetarian, Sides, Desserts, and even includes a thoughtful Kiddies Menu. Highlights include:
- Duck liver parfait with brioche & cherry granola
- Citrus-cured Overberg trout with ajo blanco, apple & cucumber
- Line fish with braaied bok choy, mussels and tikka masala
- Côte de boeuf with smoked aubergine, black garlic & steak sauce
- Chocolate, passion fruit & granola dessert
