Dining out in the village

Stanford Restaurants offer an array of dining experiences to suit every palate. Whether you’re craving a quick croissant and freshly brewed coffee in the morning or indulging in a sophisticated à la carte meal, the Stanford village has something for everyone. Renowned for its warm hospitality, Stanford also invites you to complement your culinary journey with one of the exceptional vintages from our nine award-winning, cold-climate limestone terroir Wine Route estates.

Savor your meals in extraordinary settings—whether in the midst of picturesque vineyards, nestled within a Stanford restaurant’s vegetable garden along the tranquil Klein River, or surrounded by the rolling hills and striking mountains of the countryside. The emphasis on the slow food movement ensures that every bite is a celebration of local flavor and sustainability.

Be sure to explore the vibrant weekend markets, where a delightful array of seasonal, artisanal goods and preserves awaits. Among these, the weekly Stanford Stoep Market held at the hotel in Queen Victoria Street stands out as a true community highlight. It’s a lively gathering where locals and visitors come together to enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks, unique crafts, and lively local music while watching the sun dip below the horizon—an unforgettable way to end a perfect day in the countryside.
