New Year's Eve at Rioja Restaurant

Usher in the New Year with a New Year's Eve dinner celebration at one of the Top Ten Restaurants from the 2008 Rossouw's Restaurant Guide

Rioja Restaurant has moved premises to Solole Game Reserve, and now you can witness buffalo wandering about and perhaps be greeted by a few springbok as you enter the gate for your New Year’s Eve dinner.

Owners Simon and Ceri have resurrected this little gem to escape the day-to-day grind and have renovated the cocktail bar and lounge to cater for special occasions.

Only the freshest ingredients are sourced and served and Simon has an eye for creating beautifully presented dishes. Enjoy the homemade sorbets, ice creams and tartlets, which are all made daily at Rioja.
