Excellent, but wait to be seated!

A pleasant little restaurant located in the historic heart of Stellenbosch. Visit here quite regularly. Do wait to be seated however, to be sure that the staff are aware of your presence; I see this issue has appeared in one review. Otherwise very cosy and...More

Good value

A cosy, friendly restaurant serving comfort food and well priced quality wines. The outside tables can be a little chilly in winter, although blankets are provided. Best to book ahead and secure an inside table on cold days.

Excellent ambience, service and good food...

An extremely cozy, comfortable little restaurant with a basic but variable menu. The chicken skewers are great and the crisps that accompany the dishes are a hit.
