“Friendly service and good food”

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

We stopped for lunch on a motorbike trip in the area - friendly faces and great pizza. What a pleasure...

We spent 45 minutes waiting for a waiter who never came after being seated.Two tables next to us experienced the same non existing service. Not even a drink could be ordered. One person dressed in a waiter outfit pounced around like a butterfly and point blank refused to get anyone anything promising a waiter would attend upon us. We eventually left with the two tables following to experience the best service and lunch at the nearby Tolbos restaurant. Try for yourself if you don't believe me. Alternatively just go to Tolbos restaurant and have a super great experience.

Friendly lively staff. Great food and floats and coffee (the milkshake machine was unfortunately broken). Pleasant play area for kids. Nice sweets and other farm/homemade products in a small shop...not overcrowded at all with stuff. Parking can be a problem....maybe they can ask the church directly next to the stall for usage of their big parking space when really busy.

They don't have any problem to serve adults from the kiddies menu if that adult is not so hungry. Thanks for this.

Come early because around lunch it is really popular with families with kids due to the big area where kids can play safely will parents can relax with something cool while keeping an eye over them. Nice area with water streams coming from below for the kids to play in. Big grass area.

The place is funky, with some funny decors displayed. Much of a family vibe.
The food is very traditional south African...
I had a venison pie with salad. Excellent and in good portion (it was my dinner as well). I had the chocolate cake for desert - not my thing, but might be good for other people.
Excellent service...
