Description

The oldest house in Church Street , Tulbagh – Readers.
Offering simple, outstanding local and global cuisine, has been able to maintain a standard of excellence that has created a notable reputation with both locals and tourists.
The cuisine varies on a daily basis depending on the availability of fresh produce. This provides Carol Collins – Silwood trained Cordon Bleu Chef -a certain challenge in ensuring the creation of dishes using imagination, flair and superb presentation. Certain dishes have become trademarks at Readers but the focus remains on variety, fusion of flavours and combination of unusual ingredients.

A wow for the ice-cream!

This is a wonderful venue and, since we went there for lunch on a Monday, we had the place for ourselves. Historic building, thick walls, etc. I had a steak which was nice, but slightly overcooked and tasted a bit pan-fried. My wife had the...More
