Avondale, Paarl – FABER Restaurant at Avondale Wine Estate is proud to announce that it has been awarded two stars at the 2025 Eat Out Woolworths Restaurant Awards—a prestigious achievement that places FABER firmly among South Africa’s top culinary destinations. Significantly, FABER is also the only restaurant in Paarl to have received this level of recognition.
This honour reflects FABER’s unwavering commitment to its farm-to-fork philosophy and its continued pursuit of culinary excellence rooted in sustainability, seasonality, and authenticity.
Head Chef Dale Stevens shared: “Our mission has always been to reflect the rhythm of the farm on every plate. This award celebrates not only the dishes we create, but the land, people, and stories behind them. It’s a proud moment for us all.”
Dale also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the entire Faber and Avondale team for their instrumental role in this achievement: “From the entrance gate to the gardens, from the vineyards to the cellar, to every person who plays a part in the day-to-day running of FABER and Avondale – this award belongs to you too. The sense of unity and shared purpose that exists here is rare and special. It’s this collective spirit that allows FABER to flourish.”
He added, “We are thrilled to have brought Paarl its first one-plate recognition in previous years, and now, its first two-plate award. This journey has been incredible.”
FABER continues to set the benchmark for destination dining in the Cape Winelands, offering guests an exceptional experience shaped by nature, nurtured by people, and inspired by purpose.
