 DE OUDE PAARL HOTEL offers a gastronomical affair with 3 unique restaurants.

GABBEMA'S, named in honour of Abraham Gabbema, as he was so enthralled when the sun's reflection on the granite boulders resembled shining pearls that he simply named it Peerlbergh, today known as Paarl.

The intimate restaurant offers smaller rooms for quiet evenings and has a relaxed ambiance. In winter the log burning fore place offers a cosy atmosphere. The menu is traditional and offers both local and continental cuisine with a modern twist. DE OUDE PAARL HOTEL has a wide selection of local award winning wines to compliment any dish.

MAROC, is an open air tented restaurant and offers its clients traditional Moroccan meals prepared by our Moroccan chef. Meals are inspired from famous Moroccan cities such as Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat and Fez.  

The cuisine is simple; the brilliance lies in the unique and secret blend of herbs and spices, promising a gentle yet exciting gastronomic affair.

Your journey begins with a choice of delectable salads, then onto the meat and fish dishes, that are served in earthenware pots called tagines. The word tagine also refers to a stew-like dish widely cooked in Morocco.  The shape of the tagine allows the food to simmer slowly to release an enticing aroma when the lid is lifted. Desserts are sweet, mysterious, decadent and delicious. The evening is ended of with traditional tea.

Flaming pots, rose petals, traditional music and a special performance from a Belly Dancer amalgamate to an unforgettable evening.
