Relaxed atmosphere. Good food and wine selection. Service was good. I ordered the sirloin trinchado, it was very good, good Prego sauce, steak cooked nicely to order. Pizza are also good, thin and crispy base. Very nice all round.

In all my days of traveling and visiting local restaurants, I have not ever come across a place like this. The first place that required me to visit 3 consecutive days to try out different menu options. Not only does the menu kickstart your tatsebuds when the food arrives, but the visual impression speaks for itself. I can highly recommend any dish they have to offer.

My family and I have dined here twice in the past week. We enjoyed our meals. We especially liked the fish braai plate, on. Sunday evening. It was good value for the amount of food, for a large family. In addition, we like their hake and chips! Very tasty.

What an absolute gem!!! Found this little place when searching for a spot to have late lunch on a family vacation in the Cape. And they did not disappoint! Had a wonderful burger with blue cheese and my husband and son had the beer battered hake. Dessert was cheesecake and carrot cake with some coffees. Amazing food all around! The decor and atmosphere is quaint and artistic and the place feels very laid back and calm. All in all we had a great time and I would absolutely recommend this as a stop for anyone who is in the mood for a laid back breakfast, lunch or dinner packed full of flavour!

Although this was a while ago been here many times. Close to the beach and walks, a cosy venue, for any weather situation. Outside garden area, and comfortable inside during the cooler days. We had breakfast here, and we'll.as a stop for cake and coffee. Excellent coffee and the service is fast and friendly. Sometimes they offer music as well although I haven't been to any shows here. Stop here and enjoy!

Aaah. A hidden gem....Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, good food, and great service. Beers were served cold, which is always awesome on a hot day after a walk on the beach. How cute is the pizza oven?

Second time I went here in 2 days. First day went for a vegetarian mixed grill which was on point. Great grilled veggies with a lovely hummus. Second day went for a steak, which wasn't on the daily menu but still got it, what an amazing service. Steak was really well prepared with a lovely pepper sauce and great grilled zucchini. Come to this place, you won't be disappointed
