THE ROSE HIP @ THE ROSE HOUSE
Bistro Restaurant
in Fouriesburg, Northern & Eastern Free State,
Free State, South Africa
It's a bit of a secret as far as tourists are concerned but the local
residents and farmers in the area have called it a "treasure". Situated between
Fouriesburg and Clarens on the S 325, The Rose Hip is the small restaurant run
from the beautifully restored Rose House.
Imagine sitting on the wide verandah of the sandstone house looking across a
lovely garden and small vineyard towards the Maluti Mountains while you enjoy a
starter such as a warm rosa tomato and gorgonzola tartlet or a pancetta served
with figs and home made feta. In winter meals are usually served in the dining
room : what about a warming bowl of Tomato and Bacon Soup with baby loaves of
home made bread or Goat's cheese Custard with a salsa of olives, parsley and
spring onions.
Your main course could be a delicious venison pie spiced with chilli and
apricots, an individual fillet portion served with a homemade cherry and port
sauce or a chicken salad on garden greens, with pecan nuts and home made
dressing. In summer all the vegetables and fruit comes from the garden. Puddings
may include a decadent Chocolate Molten pudding, meringues with home made lemon
or orange curd stirred into whipped cream and drizzled with granadilla pulp or a
shortbread tartlet with crème patisserie and a bramble and rosewater coulis.
We are open for lunch and dinner or what about breakfast?
We will cook for parties of two but prefer to cater for more!
We do not have credit card facilities. We are unlicensed until we start making
wine from our own grapes and the cellar is commissioned.
Bookings are essential and we need 12 hours notice.
