Food Scene
Graze @ Excelsior is our favourite spot for breakfast or lunch. Not only is the roosterkoek baked on site and the deep fried sweet potato skins that accompany some dishes a taste sensation, the location on the dam and the opportunity to blend, bottle and label your own wine turns a yummy brunch into a very memorable experience. Take your camera!

As you drive out of Robertson in the direction of Worcester you find this iconic farm stall on your right hand side. I remember stopping to buy gifts and eats there more than 20 years ago and it still inspires me even if I am just popping in to buy a home made pie! A great selection of wines and craft beers as well as brandy and Gin and more. A large selection of jams and preserves and vintage style crafts and gifts. The baked goods are in a class of their own and the sweets and cordials are good enough to buy as gifts! You have not been to Robertson if you do not stop here. Note that they are closed on saturdays.
