4.7 / 5 (956 reviews)

Description

Tucked on the main road in Gansbaai, this charming roadside bistro serves hearty breakfasts and generous seafood-leaning meals in a warm, rustic setting. Guests praise attentive, accommodating service, homey decor, a garden terrace with outdoor seating and books/bird guides, plus family-friendly touches and reliable delivery. Standouts include the English breakfast, hake and calamari. A few practical quibbles—crumpled paper menus and occasional missing condiments—are overshadowed by consistently delicious food and genuine hospitality.

The service was exceptional, and the beef rib—I'm still trying to find the perfect word for it. Overall, everything we ordered was fantastic.
