Our philosophy is simple: Everyone who walks through our doors is either already a friend, or soon will be. RESTAURANT By embracing that philosophy, owners Melanie Paltoglou and Zunia Boucher-Myers know that every guest will have exceptional service, outstanding food and will regard the restaurant as a home away from home. By sourcing local and where possible, organic fare, we offer regional favourites and at the same time support local producers in the community. Both Melanie and Zunia regard value for money vitally important when dining out. Here you will find generous portions, food bursting with flavour and dishes that are a visual feast. We are part of people s history, and it is an honour to be part of people s lives, be it a wedding, birthday party or a simple Sunday lunch. In the sixteen years that we have been at Avontuur we have hosted weddings, christenings, big and small celebrations of every kind, and we have made so many friends along the way. We never take our role for granted and consider ourselves to be blessed to be part of this magnificent estate. To us every day is an Adventure!
