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.
