“ Beautiful restaurant, excellent service and the food… wow! Especially recommend the ostrich bitterballen (and we’re saying this as native Belgians ;-)) and ostrich fillet! Everything just feels perfect, can only recommend to anyone considering paying a visit! ”
“ Great ambience and food along with wine and Belgian beer selection. I love supporting young entrepreneurs in their search for excellence. The lamb chops and beef steak were incredible. ”
“ Nice Ambiente, nice and friendly staff and owners. The food was nice as well. Some interesting stuff on the menue, so I enjoyed the ostrich bitterballen. I think they are improoving good, at least we have been informed about the open wine quite well. Thanks for a lovely Sunday evening. ”
“ I had the ostrich carrpaccio for a starter and the springbok shank for a main. The carrpaccio was delightful. Clean and flavorful but not overpowering. It had capers, mayo, and a sweet brown sauce, and adorned with alfalfa and some other light green. The springbok shank came slowcooked and on a bed of mashed potatoes, accompanied with vegatables. I ate my meal in a comfortable chain in front of a toasty fire. Couldn't have asked for a better experience ”
“ Amazing food and amazing service from Lucy. She was so kind from the moment we entered the restaurant till when we left. She gave us amazing recommendations as well. Please, order the ostrich fillet or the grilled lamb-it was so tender it basically melted in our mouths ”
“ We celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary at this beautiful place. We were greeted by the stunning Jasmine and her husband, Dean, at the door. What a surprise when we walked in. The decor, the ambiance! Our waitress, Filo, immediately made us feel at home. Her friendly smile and engaging personality was so amazing. Jasmine, Dean and Filo went out of their way to make our evening special. The food and drinks adventure that followed was an European taste explosion blended with the most loved South African dishes and seasoned with the best customer experience we've had in a local restaurant. They will see us again! We cannot wait for winter to try out their lovely fireplace lounge area! ”
“ We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! Our waiter was exceptional, and it was clear the owners put a lot of thought into the decor and overall atmosphere. The attention to detail was impressive, from the individually served bread with butter for each person to the Belgian beer served in branded glasses, accompanied by a small bite of peanuts. To top it off, we were treated to a complimentary OBS shot at the end of our meal, which was a lovely touch. I ordered the ostrich roulette, and it was absolutely phenomenal. A friend had the curry afval, which was also incredible. The only slight drawback was the slow-roasted Springbok shanks, which we found a bit dry. That could be just the nature of the meat, as we’ve never had it before. Overall, this place is a huge asset to Oudtshoorn, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ”
