Situated in the main Opstal area, De Hoop Collection’s Fig Tree Restaurant offers day and overnight visitors a welcoming and comfortable setting in which to enjoy local culinary creations. The building that used to be a shed that was used by the farmer and later by the maintenance team of De Hoop Collection, has been renovated to a beautiful space with stunning views of the De Hoop Vlei. The silo behind ‘The Shed’ was cleverly transformed into ‘William’s Wine Cellar’, a round shaped space that is home to more than 3000 wines where you are invited to select a cultivar of your choice.
The Fig Tree Restaurant is open daily, from 08h00-21h00, and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, teas, coffees and cakes and is licensed. Ask about our local wine selection, craft beers and ciders.
