Post & Pepper: Culinary Innovation in Stellenbosch’s Historic Heart
Located in the meticulously restored Old Stellenbosch Post Office, Post & Pepper seamlessly blends rich history with contemporary dining. Chef-owner Jess van Dyk, formerly of Franschhoek’s Protégé, launched this establishment in 2022, aiming to celebrate the simple pleasure of sharing good food and conversation at an affordable price.
The menu is a celebration of the flavors van Dyk grew up enjoying in the Northern Cape, such as koeksisters (fried dough twists drenched in syrup) and skaapstertjies (mutton tails) cooked on the braai. Global influences are also at play, as demonstrated by dishes like Thai-style sashimi and Hawaiian oysters served with coriander tiger’s milk, pineapple salsa, yoghurt pearls, and lime leaf oil.
Eschewing linen tablecloths and stuffy service, Post & Pepper favors wooden tables and chairs, soft lighting, and vintage touches, creating a cozy ambiance that invites guests to relax and savor their dining experience.
Experience the harmonious blend of history, innovation, and culinary artistry at Post & Pepper—a true gem in Stellenbosch’s vibrant dining scene.
