Welcome to FYRE Dining, set on the beautiful Olijvenkraal Olive & Wine Farm near Paarl, where the breathtaking beauty of the Cape Winelands beautifully melds with the lively spirit of a working farm.
At Olijvenkraal, you will find a unique blend of rustic charm and elevated experiences. FYRE offers fantastic open-fire dining and handcrafted estate wines. The farm is also home to versatile event spaces designed for celebration and connection.

FYRE Dining – A Celebration of South African Heritage
FYRE Dining is a restaurant deeply rooted in South African culinary traditions, honouring the ancient craft of cooking over an open flame. The enchanting aroma of wood smoke and the alluring sounds of crackling coals transport you straight into the essence of a proper braai.
Either enjoy your meal in the modern restaurant, with warm, inviting decor, or dine outdoors on the serene lawn with views of the vineyards and gardens. The atmosphere is perfectly balanced between relaxed and refined – anchored in tradition yet infused with contemporary flair, just like the spirit of the Winelands.
Summer Menu: A Symphony of Fire & Flavour
FYRE has just unveiled its vibrant new summer menu, a celebration of South African braai culture that beautifully fuses coastal inspirations with innovative twists on beloved classics.
Menu highlights include Cape Malay mussels, grilled chicken, seared tuna and signature “fyre bites” such as oepsies (honey-glazed bacon wrapped around glacé cherries), braaibroodjies with boerenkaas and peach chutney, and the legendary skilpadjies served on grilled cornbread.
Larger plates showcase flame-kissed classics – prawns, baby chicken, and braaiplankies for two—accompanied by triple-cooked chips and pap en sous. Desserts range from malva pudding cheesecake to melktert ice cream, providing the perfect sweet finish.
The menu at FYRE also caters to vegetarian guests and younger diners. You’ll find options like roasted Boerpampoen with lentils, or Creamy macaroni and cheese on the menu, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
