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.

Great food great service

Enjoy a tender fillet steak perfectly topped with garlic butter, while indulging in some delicious local red wine. The outside tables allow you to watch for the stars in the perfect evening temperature...and devour the last pages of your book! Service is impeccable.
