How is Koornlands Restaurant rated?

What a huge disappointment. Steak quality was poor. Tough and overcooked. Vegetables obviously frozen not fresh. Salad limp. All of which could be be forgiven if the owner/chef didn't remonstrate loudly at me for not liking her substandard food. Not somewhere I would ever recommend...there are way better restaurants in this beautiful villageMore

Excellent Experience!

We stayed in Swellendam for two nights and after our first night at Koornlands, we did not even bother to try any other restaurant. We went straight back! The restaurant is located a bit off the main road and from the porch you overlook a...nice quiet garden. The service was excellent. The wine selection very reasonable. The food was amazing. We came traveling from the Garden Route and had experienced some good food. But nothing topped Koornlands. The day-menu is well selected and the ingrediencies are fresh. You will find nothing unexpected but the way the chef (the owner who we have met an who is such a character - very nice person!) makes it has just a bot of a twist. We will be back!More

Slow cooked deliciousness

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel; such a great choice! It’s a rustic building typical of the area. We sat on the veranda which was lovely. The food was divine; we had the warthog ragu which was delicious- slow cooked, melt in your mouth...tender and delicately spiced with cloves. Followed by the unbaked cheesecake. Super wine list. Can’t recommend it enough.More

Excellent quality and value

Both starter (seafood cocktail) and mains (steak and curry) were excellent, tasty and good portion size. The best meal we have had yet in our SA trip. Very reasonably priced too. Wholesome and lovely setting. Service excellent. A must if passing through, but book and...try to be outside.More

just wonderful steaks!

Best steaks in town! A real tucked away gem of a place that we were super fortunate to stumble across... when you've got an owner-chef situation, you just know you're going to have a great time...
