The Manor House

Cassia Restaurant, Bar and Function Venue
The setting is what makes this restaurant so special. Dine al fresco at the foot of the estate’s dam; and watch wild birds cavort in the central fountain. Situated on Nitida Wine Farm, in the heart of Durbanville, Cassia is known for its cellar door hospitality, award-winning wines and imaginative food. Try the Crispy pork belly with colcannon, fine beans and apple sauce, or monk fish medallions served with capers and preserved lemon.
