The food is good...really enjoyed the desert. However fixed pricing per head encourages over eating and discourages people who just want a light lunch. We were the only ones on a Sat in peak season. Pricing per weight is a far better system so you...pay for how ever much you actually want to eat.More

We came here for a long lunch on Sunday and left extremely full of delicious food. There was a wide range of different dishes, including soup, hot meals, salads and dessert. The food was so fresh and flavourful. Highly recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike.

We went to Bocca Dolce for their lunch buffet. It was such a joy eating at a place that cared so deeply for the quality of the food. The staff was wonderful to talk to too. We ended up bringing home their unique coffee, chilies...and vegan pancake mix. I can't wait to go back!More

This was my second visit to this iconic Vegan Restaurant Quarry Lake near Wittedrift, Plettenberg Bay. Its always a treat being there - the buffet lunch is tasty, inviting & unique and I am not a vegan. But one won't even know you're not eating...meat. The leeks & potato soup was delicious & I added some roast potatoes to it - which gave it an even better taste. Taken with the home-made bread, it's like being in heaven. Bring your own wine as its not licensed & there is no corkage charge either - this restaurant is not a rip-off. Just good home cooking. And the coffee is faaantastic!More

WOW ! The setting of this restaurant is very different with wrought iron and wood every where. We came for a late Sunday lunch and there was still plenty at the buffet. We are neither vegetarians nor vegans, but loved the food and decided then...and there to come again for a more healthier option to eat out. As the restaurant does not have a liquor licence, which didn't bother us much, we had some lovely juice. If you must, you can bring your own wine, no fee added for the cork ! We will come again !More

This place had the most amazing food, and I'm not vegan. It came highly recommended from our hotel, so I thought we would try it out. I'm so glad we did, and we got a tour of the STUNNING property and garden as well. I'm...seriously begging, please release a cookbook! I would buy it in a heartbeat!More

My husband and I recently visited Bocca Dolce for their Sunday Lunch Buffet. We have been Vegan for 3 years we were shocked to see the spread. "Meat" Pies, Hot Dogs, Curries, Cottage Pie, side dishes and salads. All Vegan and all out of this...world. The lasagna was without a doubt the best thing I have ever eaten. (I am Italian and my Nona would not happy about this statement) The staff were amazing, the coffee is delicious and the grounds are beautiful. We especially enjoyed the fact that all produce was grown on their farm. We will be back for sure and highly recommend to everyone, vegan or not.More

Love this little out-of-the-way venue, far from the madding crowds. The Sunday buffet is a wonderful spread, the salad bar alone is a meal in itself, comprising different salads concocted from the organic gardens, and that's just for starters! A hot bar with more options...plus the lovely platter spread with all different kinds of yummies to taste, it's impossible to try everything in one sitting... there's still the dessert selection to leave place for, a selection of organic teas, juices and the coffee...I'll drive out of my way JUST to buy the coffee beans here - delicious AND non-acidic. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy this experience, and maybe it can convince you to make the change to a cruelty-free diet.More

While on holiday my girlfriend (vegan) and i (non-vegan) decided to try this restaurant. Quite the drive but well worth it! We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the setting is stunning, the hosts are so welcoming and made us feel like it was their home...and the food is incredible. Definitely worth it!

Totally blown away by the beyond friendly service and delicious food. I felt totally spoilt and it was such great value for money. I’d definitely recommend Bocca Dolce to everyone. I, being vegan, was totally in my element and my furtherest-from-vegan boyfriend absolutely enjoyed himself...as well. Amazing experience for anyone. Possibly my top meal I’ve had while being on holiday in Plett. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality and delicious food - can’t wait to go back again!More
