“Good place to stop for something to eat”

Padlangs Country Restaurant
Ranked #1 of 3 Restaurants in Patensie
Description: Padlangs is located 7.5km from Patensie on the R331, en route to the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, and located in the tranquil Gamtoos Valley. In September 2016 we moved to our brand new premises (500m from our old location). We now have a water splashpad, giant garden chess set, play area for children with a bike track, outside shower for cyclists, and a stunning view of the Gamtoos Valley. Great Food is still on the menu. #Slowfood #Slowzone #Countryfeeling

When travelling in this area, this is a good place to grab something to eat. There are lots of save parking and a big playground for kids. The food was good, but the restaurant was under-staffed and it took a long time for the food to come. However, the staff was friendly.

Very nice stop after driving through Baviaanskloof. Good menu and service, clean ablutions, nice lawn for kids to play and lovely views from seats and tables under huge shady trees. Also inside seating for inclement weather There is also a craft shop

Spent the day here during their Farmer’s Market... found everything was run smoothly with genuine friendliness and good professional service. Strong foot traffic meant there was a nice vibey atmosphere, kids playing in their water foundation kept them out of parents hair, but still in full view. Extremely scenic location with stunning vistas and green garden areas. Interior was cottage chic, but very nice. Comfortable atmosphere.
Strong team with good, friendly service.

We love coming to Padlangs as the kids always ask us to visit so that they can play and we can just sit and relax and enjoy the good food and awesome view of the citrus on the hills. The food is always a winner even if it can take quite a while for the food to arrive depending on how busy they are but remember the food is freshly prepared. Its good to book a table before just pitching up as it can get very busy and the waiting times can get a bit long. The lawn for the kids is just amazing wit the water fountain they can play in and little bikes they can ride etc.
