The shaded terrace deck at Restaurant @ Glen Carlou looking out over the vista of vineyard is the perfect spot for an Autumn lunch. Tension Structures installed 5 adjoining architectural umbrellas over the deck offering respite from direct sunlight for diners.

While we didn’t install an umbrella at Vrede en Lust but a ceiling for their wedding venue, Lust Bistro & Bakery was too good not to include on our list. Enjoy a Sunday buffet from 12pm – 3pm available every Sunday and most Public holidays from 12pm to 3pm, with a variety of dishes from the kitchen and wood-fired oven. They also have an a la carte menu available for remaining opening times.
