Service?

Had a great lunch on our way from Coffee Bay to Estcourt but sadly the service went down the tubes. Ordered lunch and was waiting time was not very long. Decided we wanted some take-aways as well and immediately put in our order so it...could be available when we leave. Had quite some distance to travel via wet muddy gravel roads ( Underberg via Elandskop to Estcourt ) and had no time to waist. When the take-aways did not arrive after 45 minutes we enquired about the order just to be informed that they haven't even started with the order. Come on you waist ones time and then carry on as nothing is wrong. Well hence the 3 dots for this bistro as service is a one and quality of food a 5.More

So sorry, Pierre for keeping you waiting for so long. Besides the quality of our food, service is usually our strategy suite. Social distancing and Covid protocols really slowed our kitchen production line this past busy season. We chose not to compromise on the quality...More

Late lunch left us with slight sour taste in mouth

With not many restaurants open til late here in Underberg, we rushed to get to the Lemon Tree an hour before their closing time. Our entire time in this otherwise very pleasant, quaint and cosy little restaurant, we could not help but feel a bit...unwelcome and under pressure to order and finish our meal before their closing time. The menu is vast and varied with a great selection for meat-lovers and vegetarians. My pork belly was not of fine-dining quality but was a decent portion of tasty (not the most tender) meat with a fair amount of crackling. My plate was whisked away from me before I could even finish my last bit of crackling which I was savoring as the last bit of my meal! The battered fish was a bit disappointing giving the appearance of a store-bought frozen dinner. They do however, make a great cappuccino, apparently best in the Berg for 3 years running. I would rather recommend one to visit this lovely little restaurant for breakfast and lunch😊More

Undecided

Whilst our food was fresh and absolutely delicious, we were disappointed at the quality of service as well as the pricing. They do allow small pets outside which is nice for dog owners. The service was slow and lackluster but one cannot always fault an...establishment on one person having a bad day so I’m sure we were just unlucky. The R290.00 for 2 prego rolls and two cool drinks left a bitter taste... way too expensive. WAY too expensive...More

Excellent

Amazing place. Great service, great food. The place is very clean and I am sure they have the best chai latte I have ever had. I would definitely advise someone who is the area to go past this little gem of a place.More

Lemon Tree Bistro in Underberg.

We decided to make a stop for coffee on our way up Sani Pass. Apart from the excellent coffee we experienced some of the delicacies on the menu as well. The quality and price were excellent and the service was certainly above average. Worth the...stop.More

Nice restaurant

We had lunch at this venue, as it came highly recommended by a friend. I found it to be very nice, and we had a salad.

Cappuccino and lunch

Stopped here after a hike with my family and ordered almond milk cappuccino and some milk shakes, both were great and a dairy free option is good since my wife can't have dairy. For lunch each dish was amazing, beef Bunny was the delicious and...the perfect size, the fish cakes were so flavourful, the peri peri chicken was perfect and the Mango Jango salad was the perfect mix of salad and "stuff". We are definitely coming back.More
