Foxcroft Restaurant
Yet another gem to be found at the Groot Constantia wine estate, Foxcroft is a more casual dining experience that pays special focus to using locally produced fresh produce with every prepared meal. Head chef Glen Foxcroft Williams says that he aims to make meals with the same thoughtfulness as fine dining, but he chooses to present it in a more casual and approachable way. The perfect Saturday out with friends, ends with a meal at Foxcroft.
