Devil's Peak De Oude

Cape Town


The Devil's Peak brewery has split De Oude Welgemoed, a 350-year-old Cape Dutch property, into three sections: the Alpha Beer Hall, the Manor and the Bistro. Alpha is the best bet for a casual beer under the oak tree and some quality pub grub, with 10 craft beers on draught and a menu of boards and burgers (mains R100).

The Manor places more emphasis on eating, with a longer menu of similar cuisine and six craft beers on draught, while the Bistro is a pizzeria.
