Overture Restaurant at Hidden Valley

Overture opened its doors in November 2007. This restaurant is the brain child of Bertus Basson and Craig Cormack, both talented chef extrordinaires based in Somerset West. Hidden Valley is more than just a wine producer and nature custodian, it is about the synthesis of good living; fine wine, great environment and superb cuisine. Much like our wines, the food is not flashy nor overly decorated, it is honest pure and delicious.

Barely a year after opening its doors, and hot on the heels of its Diners Club Platinum award, Overture has been voted fourth best restaurant in South Africa in the annual Prudential Eat Out awards.

Regarded as the Oscars of the local restaurant scene, the Eat Out awards are judged by critics who share a passion for gourmet food. Scores are given on 20 criteria including value for money, service, wine list and ambience in addition to the food itself; ensuring that patrons can expect an optimal experience.

The judges lauded Overture for its local, fresh and seasonal foods and degustation approach that makes a five course lunch “entirely possible”. The service was rated highly and the “meticulously neat open kitchen” seen as a great addition to the ambience.
