Pipers Restaurant is in the heart of Paarl. Just far away enough from Cape Town to make you feel as if you’ve been on an excursion of a lost world, yet it’s within 30 min drive from the city.

Take a cultural jaunt down Paarl’s main road past old Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings surrounded by vineyards.

Some of the regular patrons affectionately refer to the main road as “Little Europe”, with our Al Fresco area under the oaks. Safe parking and a “welcome dover” wood burning oven help you to soak up our rich, warm and “come-as-a-stranger-leave-as-a friend” attitude.

About Paarl

Paarl's architectural heritage spans the Cape Dutch, Victorian and Edwardian eras and offers visitors an opportunity to re-live the town's legacy through lovingly preserved gems such as the Strooidak church, Drakenstein Heernkrings De Oude Woning, Het Gesticht church and the Toringkerk - all situated along Main street. 

Wine estates such as Laborie and Nederburg have eighteenth-century Cape Dutch manor houses that are national monuments and on Kleinbos, farm of the Du Toit family in Dal Josafat, the first South African school with Afrikaans as it's official language of instruction has been newly restored.

History
Paarl has a fascinating and rich history dating back to a damp day in 1657 when Bailiff Abraham Gabemma, on an official excursion from Cape Town to the colony's frontiers, named the area Peerlbergh after the paarl-like shimmer of the sun's reflection on the wet granite boulders in the distance.

Wine
Paarl is about wine and the lifestyle it embraces. With an average summer temperature of 28 degrees the area's climate has often been compared to that of the Rhone Valley in Southern France. While cultivars such as Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and CheninBlanc regularly win top honours at national and international competitions, Shiraz is tipped to be Paarl's brightest red star.
