A hidden gem for an easy Sunday lunch in Upper Wynberg
Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa is an urban hideaway amid the leafy streets of Upper Wynberg.
This past Sunday, I headed to Palm House in Upper Wynberg for their 'Easy Sundays' lunch at the Palm Terrace restaurant – and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in a while.
The setting alone is worth mentioning. Palm House is tucked away quietly in the established area of the suburb, with surprisingly gorgeous views of the Constantiaberg mountains.
Surrounded by lush gardens and shaded outdoor seating, the atmosphere is calm and unhurried – ideal for a long, relaxed afternoon.
The Sunday lunch starts with an array of sharing plates brought to the table. From warm farmhouse bread and house-smoked trout pâté to a heritage tomato and burrata salad, each small dish felt considered and seasonal. The baked brie and caramelised onion tartlets were especially good – rich but not overwhelming.
