We had the pleasure to have lunch at Fynbos Gourmet restaurant during our stay in Mossel bay. I thoroughly enjoyed the high-quality homeware on display throughout the restaurant. We bought a bottle of wine at the liquor store next door and we paid a ZAR15.00 corkage fee. We had a Greek salad to share as a starter. It was fresh and delicious. My son and I had the Bobotie. It was the best bobotie we ever had. The yellow rice it was served with was also excellent. My husband had the Tomato stew with rice and vegetables. He also declared his meal as excellent. Our waitress, Junay was very friendly and professional. The Chef’s passion and talent was evident is every blissful bite. Expect honest food made with love and care at Fynbos Gourmet restaurant.

Lovely food well presented and tasty. Suitably priced. A nice quiet atmosphere most if the time, sometimes there are small rowdy groups that disrupts the peace, but not often. Friendly staff. Some of the popular dishes sell out, and you can only get them on another day.

Visited for coffee & carrot cake, and to our surprise discovered in addition to an attractive eatery the place also had an absolutely perfectly peaceful little outside sundeck under the shade of a massive old tree to relax. The carrot cake was deliciously moist and tasty & tasted home made. Seems we finally found our new favourite place to enjoy confectioneries, we'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere is hostile and inhospitable. The staff are unfriendly. The food leaves much to be desired and the service is awful! Let’s move on, give the other restaurants and coffee shops a chance. The reputation established years ago has been damaged. If Fynbos wants customers in the future, they’ll have to work hard to try and re-establish their place in the industry. Very disappointing!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. You arrived at the coffee shop at a very busy time and also the busiest day of the year. We could not accommodate you inside and you refused to sit outside ... it was a warm day. Our tables inside were booked and guests to arrive soon. You were very rude to our staff and this review is not the true version of events.

We went to Fynbos for carrot cake take-aways and waited over 30 minutes. Nobody assisted us and we had to ask multiple times for a card machine. The cake was defnitely not worth the wait. We’ll never be going there again.

Worth a visit, the gift shop is an added bonus! Not a wide variety on the menu but something for every taste. Originally went for breakfast but decided to have something sweet rather after seeing the cake display. 😁 Due to the nature of the gift shop, no children under 10 allowed

Ranters gripe children under 10 aren’t “welcomed” / accommodated. It’s the very reason why I enjoy my time and experience @ Fynbos - its whining (& noisy) children free. Parents are notified up front, not once they’re seated about the “ruling”. If parents (generally) parented correctly with consideration towards “others”, Oupa wouldn’t be typing this. At family eateries, Oupa knows up front it’s rowdy. And Oupa enjoy that too. Oh, and my ongoing pleasant culinary experiences lure me back time and again.

Fynbos is open from 08:00 until 15:00. Limited menu but food well prepared. No children allowed. Lovely venue for peace and quiet experience. Large area with household goods and trinkets on display.

To escape the rain we called in for coffee and cake. We were greeted and taken to a table and ordered coffee which was delicious and l had lemon meringue which was the best l have ever tasted. My husbands scone and cream was equally good and once finished we looked around the lovely quirky gift shop. All in all a good place to visit.

We popped in for breakfast and were not disappointed. The restaurant is spacious and has a homely atmosphere. The breakfast was good.

We ordered a sit down meal with a take away for supper. The service was not up to usual standards. The toasted chicken mayo sandwich was poorly presented and dry. The Chicken salad was also not up to usual standards with lettuce and peppers forming the greater part of the meal. The Takeaway x2 of Lamb curry for R129.00 each was shocking. Little more than a serving spoon of mutton curry, mostly bone and the vegetables looked as if they were weeks old. Very disappointing and definitely not the quality of food we are used to. We felt as if we had been taken for a ride and when raising this with the chef, were told that that is what the metered amounts of food were. Definitely not worth R129.00. We have frequented this restaurant for many years, however this will be the last time we go there.

Went there for a light meal. We are still friends after so many years. The feta and spinach quiche was very good. The lemon merangue looked so nice. The pancakes were jummy. Service not very fast but a very pleasant waitron and we needed the time to catch up. Clean and tidy coffee shop.
