We were in Makhanda for the Festival, and had pre-ordered lunch so as to fit into our show times We actually arrived earlier than anticipated, and there was no hassle, our lunches arrived beautifully served - hot soups and fresh breads - absolutely lovely!

Although I am gluten-intolerant I do cheat sometimes and on this day I enjoyed a very delicious Cheesecake ... I just cut the biscuit bottom off it! With free Wi-Fi and good company in the cool of the outside section it was a relaxing break.

I lovely spot to stop for a quick cup of coffee. Parking was difficult at the time I visited and the locals aren't too patient when (as an out of town-er) you're trying to see if there is somewhere to have a cuppa and find...parking at the same time. Once settled the staff is attentive but the café is situated in a shopping area/centre and this has the knock on effect of being noisy with parking traffic and walk by people. A great quick cup of coffee though.More

Revelations is a great place to relax and eat with friends or family. You can sit indoors, or outdoors under the trees. In addition to their standard, wide ranging menu they have great offers on for instance breakfasts and burgers.

I have been to Revelations about twice in the last two months. Both times I ordered the fish and chips which I absolutely love. All the staff are friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and it's a great spot for a casual lunch or drink during...the day. I know it stays open until about 9pm or so but I have never been there that late.More
