We visited the restaurant today with friends from Germany. We love the ambience, the beautiful gardens, the wording on the menu. Everything is amazing, except the service which is really not good. We have reported this several times already but to no avail. If this...continue we will not support the restaurant anymore. Why not address the problem for once and for all. We would like to support you, make it possible for us to continue our support. Our visitors from Germany always come to SA for Christmas and want to visit Afroboer. Make it possible!More

We had coffee at deli while waiting for table at main restaurant. Was ok. Damian (from restaurant) was supposed to phone me when table was available at restaurant. He never did. Waiter at deli was nice enough to go and find out about table. The...food at restaurant was really not up to standard and service was poor. It is such a beautifull place but sadly nothing else will get me back at this restaurant. Poorly trained staff.More

The beautiful setting and food is spoilt by poorly trained waiters that don’t care about the service they offer. Don’t take my order, only to return 10 minutes later and bluntly say ”The kitchen says they do not have potato chips” Rather come and say...sorry we don’t have chips but we can offer you …… in its place. Our waiter disappeared like the mist and we had to order a round of drinks from another waiter. Then my food is bought to the table almost 5 minutes before my wife’s food. Surely the kitchen can pair the 2 meals seeing we were only 2 people at the table. As expected, our empty plates had to be removed by another waiter as ours was MIA. I had to wait 10 minutes after asking for the bill for him to bring it. This at 09h00 in the morning when they were not even busy!More

When writing about this lovely restaurant/coffee shop one has to start by mentioning the beautiful setting. It's situated in a beautiful and lush green garden that is free to all patrons to enjoy. Another standout feature is the menu that offers a lot of interesting...items not often found in restaurants. This extends to some traditional local favourites and then there's all the confectionery, come hungry! They are well priced taking into account the quality and well worth a visit but do yourself a favour and make a booking, especially during popular times as they do get quite busy.More

From the minute we stepped in Afro-broer we were greeted with friendly smiles all round. Here I could spend some quality time with my daughter in a very pleasant atmosphere and stylishly decorated restaurant. The menu offers a wide array of fresh food and very...interesting combinations. The Breakfast Burger with extra fries and garlic mayonnaise was the order of our choice! For the first time in along time I was served with a home made bun as a burger bun, wow! I could have just eaten that on it's own. It was soft, fluffy and super tasty. The chips on their own could too have been a meal on their own. They were cooked to perfection and the garlic mayonaise was the perfect combination. Oh my word, they have an mouth watering selection of freshly baked cakes and goodies that we did not even get to try...I will be back!!! Staff were very friendly and efficient, thank you!More

Vibey indoor seating or outside in the serene garden. Friendly efficient service. Some wonderfully different milk drinks to choose from like beetroot and crème brûlée to get you started with a wide variety of yummy sweet things. The carrot cake tasted as good as it...looked. The banting and boere breakfasts were both delicious. Wonderful day out.More

Hi LaughingChef2014 - unfortunately not. We like being a bit old school. But we have plug points if you do have your own and want to sit and work in the 'Wit Olifant' room.
