4 of us went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was great. The location is very nice. The restaurant filled up after we arrived and it was atmospheric. The food was delicious. We each had a different type of meat and the vegetables from the garden were awesome. We had a lovely afternoon.

A lovely rustic spot off the beaten track set in a beautiful garden overlooking the river. The food was top notch with vegetables grown in the restaurants own garden. Food was served in a very timely fashion. Although mostly a meat lovers selection of food, they do provide delicious vegetarian options. Friendly owners. Would visit again.

Nice place to eat and amazing view from the terrace.The straight way to get there is quite sketchy during night time, there is another way to get there which is slightly longer but seems to be safer.

What an incredible find! The food and particularly the vegetables (from the garden) is incredible. Stunning views over the Sundays River, highly recommended.

Lovely views overlooking the river but the entrance and parking area could be more looked after, quite untidy. The owners were very friendly and I love that the veggies served to guests come straight from their garden. Having already eaten, we only came for coffee and drinks, which we did enjoy. The menu prices for locals is very expensive, with the cheapest meal being R100 for a vegetarian dish. Neighbouring restaurants are cheaper, but if youre after homegrown veggies, this is the place.

My personal favourite restaurant in South Africa. It is actually a barn. But they set it up so nicely and with a beautiful view over the river. When you enter the restaurant, you actually walk through the garden and see the veggies you gonna eat. Awesome!The owners are lovely people. You immediately feel like at home with Mum and Dad. There is even a sofa with TV where you can sit with them and watch football.The dessert was wicked - be warned - you will be addicted.I had a Kudu steak - very nice experience as well. We ate here twice (lunch and dinner) and had a great time!

Highly recommended place to go - if you are in the region: more than just friendly owners, fresh own-garden grown food & a “feels-like-coming-home” atmosphere!!! Looking forward to coming back. Cheers

If you are in Add this is a must visit. Only the view would be worth it (arrive on time for an awesome sunset), but the rest does warrant a visit either. The food is good. You can eat game meat like Kudu or Wildebeest and it is accompanied by a lot of vegetables from the own garden. The two hosts are really friendly ladies and they have created a cool decor with a mix of old furniture and accessories.

This place has a very relaxed atmosphere in peaceful settings. The food feels very whole and real, you can see exactly what veg you are getting and the portion sizes are very generous. The owner was our server and was very kind. Entree prices run into the low R100s.

Very nice industrial style restaurant with great view. Restaurant serves their own veggies (every restaurant should learn from). Love this place. Must see in Addo if in holiday. Wines are ok. Some special wines would finish this place

Just finished an amazing dinner here! This place has only been opened up for about 6 months but already has stolen our hearts and stomach! Had the kudu steak which was great with a plate full of vegetables fresh out of their own herbs and veg garden. Stunning sunset view overlooking the river. Owners are very friendly too! definitely worth a visit for dinner or even lunch when you pop in and out of Addo national park!

What a great find ! Amazing location next to the river and delicious freshly prepared food. Lots of healthy options. Most main dishes are meat and local veggies from their garden, but good vegetarian/ vegan options.

Review №58

The service is a disaster. Waiting for food for over 90 minutes. It does not matter if the food was good. So who wants to eat there should already plan two hours. Honestly why does it take so long until I have my food and the store was not even full. Since I really do not care if you think it is all fresh from the garden gehohlt. Thats food is fine, but wait for over 90 minutes, no thanks.

We have been there several times. And we were never disappointed! The meat was super delicious and the fresh vegetables also fit wonderfully. We were very satisfied and can recommend it to anyone who comes through Addo. In addition, the view with the sunset is an extra plus!

Delicious vegetarian plate, large portions and friendly staff! Vegetables from own cultivation (one runs directly through the vegetable garden in the restaurant). Great to sit outside, beautiful location at sunset.

This restaurant is quite remote and you wouldnt stop by by accident. Unless you happen to come by. And then this awaits you here: A kind of farm with a beautiful vegetable and herb patch. The restaurant has a beautiful view and the food tastes so incredibly fresh and good. The vegetables taste like they have just been picked fresh from the garden. The spinach was the best Ive had so far. And the meat is very good too.That explains the long wait for food, which can easily be bridged by drinking a glass of wine and taking a look at the courtyard.

Review №65

Maybe Mrs. Müllen has no taste buds, every vegetable has its taste and it is nicely done. A simple eatery where home-grown vegetables are processed. Nice location with river view, nice owner, simple, rustic ambience. The Gnu Steak tender and cooked to perfection. Price / performance is right. Happy again .👍😻

Exceptional restaurant in an old hall. Beautiful location overlooking a river. The menu is also different than usual. A lot of different vegetables on the plate and a delicious piece of wild beast. The Malva pudding as a dessert is almost a must.

Charming hostess and excellent cook the lady who is in charge of the place. We were the only four diners on a cold winter afternoon. He awaited us prior reservation by recommendation and made by our knowledgeable travel agent Phil Rendel of Where it all began agency. In 20 minutes he prepared and served two dishes of rabbit, wildebeest and duck with a generous accompaniment of fresh steamed vegetables collected from his own garden. We were finally able to savor a very rare Cabernet Sauvignon and not to the taste of South African palates it seems. The lemongrass water just taken from the garden gave the aromatic touch to the richest bassative that I have ever served. ¡Grandioso! / Great place run by a wonderful host the lady who cooks and is in charge of this original place. Just four of us where there that night. Booked in advance and recommended by our knowgeable travel agent Phil Rendel from Where it all began agency. In 20 minutes she prepared and served rabbit, wildebeast and duck with assorted steam vegetables all picked up from her own garden. Surprisingly we had our first bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon here! Not very popular in South Africa up to then. Lemongrass picked up in front of our eyes made the most flavored and tasty herbal infusion I ever had! Superb!
