About Spek & Bone
Tucked just off Dorp Street behind a weathered gate, Spek & Bone is one of Stellenbosch’s most beloved hidden gems. Under the shade of one of the town’s oldest fruit-producing vines, the kitchen serves up a playful, Japanese-inspired tapas menu that’s perfect for sharing.
The vibe is casual and cosy, with dishes that hit the sweet spot between clever and comforting – think pork belly with Asian slaw, or umami-laced lamb ribs that disappear in seconds.
The wine list highlights small-production South African wines, selected with care to reflect both quality and character. You’ll find a tight rotation of bottles available by the glass, thoughtfully poured and often presented with a bit of insight from the warm, knowledgeable staff. It’s the kind of place where one glass turns into three and you’re planning your next visit before dessert.

Named after the renowned chef Bertus Bason and his wife Marli’s pets – a pig called Spek and a dog called Bone. This tiny local hangout is accessed via a small alley behind the legendary Oom Samie se Winkel that opens into an intimate courtyard centered around an enormous trumpet tree.
The menu consists of a small selection of tapas-style dishes with an ever-changing wine list focusing on the smaller independent producers of the Cape.
