Our Story

​

We have lived the majority of our married life with a dream of having a restaurant of our own. Our concept was based on only having four dishes, consisting of beef, chicken, seafood and a vegan dish.

​

 

The concept was further developed by adding four small plates to enjoy as appetizers. Our four mains are beautifully curated dishes, accompanied by a choice of four delicious sides. Naturally, we needed to have dessert, so added four desserts.

 

Our stoep snacks come from the culture of sitting on a veranda enjoying something to nibble on while sipping on a fine wine.

 

 

Stoep /stuːp/

"a small porch" comes from the Dutch word stoep, meaning step/sidewalk, pronounced the same as the English word "stoop".

 

 

The menu was refined by a private chef, who we have been inspired by, time and time again, Wynand Van Rooyen.

Our wine list is curated by our favourite wine sommelier and industry expert, Charles Pohl.

 

 

Our restaurant name: The Four.

​

 

Then we found this beautiful space you’re sitting in and because of Stellenbosch’s rich Dutch heritage, we thought it would be fitting to give our restaurant a name that resonates with the town’s culture and heritage; and so, De Vier was born.

​

 

We hope to welcome you to De Vier soon!
