the mill / Die Meul philadelphia

**CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS**

DIE MEUL is a historic building with an old worldly charm, surrounded by vines, canola and wheat fields.
The original Mill was constructed in the 1800s. In its original form it functioned as a wagon making facility and was converted into a flour mill around 1924.The building was used for this purpose until the early 1970s when the business was sold and the premises shut down.  South African artist Pieter van der Westhuizen bought the building. A lot of the original mill features are still visible and makes this a special and totally unique space for a restaurant. Philadelphia is an exceptional destination and the word means ‘brotherly love’.

It’s a hidden gem. Only 30 min drive from the City Bowl, 20 min from Durbanville and Bloubergstrand. 45 min from Stellenbosch and Paarl.
