5. Summerfields Kitchen and River Café
While there are many things we can say, we will simply start with this:
Both Summerfields Kitchen and River Café were winners in the prestigious 2016 World Luxury Restaurant Awards
If that isn't enough to get a foodie's taste buds watering, we don't know what is.
Summerfields is a rose farm situated on the R536 Sabie-Hazyview road. The kitchen is only open for dinner, but it's one of those places you have to visit before you die. The tables are neat, decorated with freshly-cut flowers from the farm while the staff tends to your needs and the chefs prepare your meals.
Each plate of food is guaranteed to make your taste buds sing to a tune of delight!
Added bonus: Summerfields uses organic greens from their very own garden so they can ensure the highest quality every time.
