Description:
La Gratitude was built in 1798 by the first Reverend of Stellenbosch. It boasts a blend of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian architecture and is known as ?The Grand Old Lady?. The building has been gently and tastefully renovated to provide the home for Ernie Els?s new signature wine bar and restaurant.


We serve a wide selection of more than 170 wines, some of which you can sample from the cellars of the owners. Our proprietors own Rupert wines with L?Ormarins and Anthonij Rupert wines; Rust en Vrede; Guardian Peak; Ernie Els Wines and Audacia Wines. The fifth partner owns Villa di Buona Speranza olive oil from Lucca in Italy which is especially imported for using at The Big Easy

If the finest cuisine prepared with the freshest ingredients whets your appetite, then plan to enjoy the delicious taste of laid-back luxury served with a hint of history.

Superb, 30 Apr 2013
Reviewer: anonymous (Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: I was at Cape Town last September 2012 for a business trip and the last day we decided to go to Stellenbosch for some vineyard touring. My colleagues and I decided to have some lunch at a nice and quiet restaurant in the guide brought us to Big Easy.

Wow it really made my day. The environment is so calm and refreshing, and the food is mmh, marvelous, especially the seafood and the wine. Big Easy is a must go. The only pity is that I live so far away.
