What a lovely peaceful setting. We had the calamari as well as the mussels and both dishes were outstanding, and amazing value for money. But I must add that the mussels were the best I have ever had and I have eaten many mussel dishes all over the world. Thank you Willeen. It was lovely to meet you and your family.
Excellent view. Food is awesome and huge pieces. Fresh fish. Love it.
Wileens restaurant is a small home-run indigenous gem in Kassiesdorp right on the ocean in Waenhuiskrans. This charming restaurant gives you a taste of the South African way of living in a tiny fishermen’s village. Wileen is in the kitchen where she prepares the authentic SA dishes. We were served by a shy but friendly young man. We had bobotie, rice and sambals with a glass of soda inside the restaurant with its colourful interior. I bought some of the handmade goodies. We have really enjoyed our bobotie and the atmosphere. Make sure you visit when you are there. On a warm sunny day you can eat outside, feelthe sea breeze and listen to the ocean. Then afterwards make sure you take a leisurely stroll on the soft white beach.
Lovely seafood on the beach and burger pies and more
Most amazing, freshest seafood ever!!! Warm and welcoming, Willeen you are a superstar and fantastic cook!! Ons het ons fingers af gelek!!!
It is nearly impossible to find fresh fish in restaurants. We had kob with yellowtail fishcakes.
Feels like home... Excellent value for money meals.
Best galjoen Ive ever tasted. Owner very good company full of history about the place
A place to visit for a warm friendly welcome & an authentic meal.
What a wonderful place and setting
We had a seafood platter for dinner with yellowtail, fish cakes, calamari, prawns, mussels, curried fish and rice. Very tasty, but would have liked some tartar sauce. It was a good quality home cooked meal. You can bring your own wine, no corking fee!
Awesome find.If you expecting mainstream, youll be sadly disappointed.But, if you want to support this far out community and just enjoy an experience youll enjoy it.
We had a function with over 100 adults and kids, the food was fantastic and the whole event was so well run and organised by the staff. Highly recommend Willeens for good food and beautiful views.
Over rated local eatery. Service spectacularly poor, meals arrived cold 10 minutes apart and drinks even later
Superb dining. Expect the cultural experience of the area, but with this in mind youll struggle to do better in terms of a catch of the day, amazing calamari or slap chips. A authentic but romantic setting unique to the heritage houses that surround Willeens.
Food is amazing! I love the atmosphere
Limited space, food is average. Great staff though.
Peaceful place with unique ocean view. Everybody is very warm & friendly! Food is delicious
Lovely food. Good value for money.
Awsome little find just off the beach. Had coffee and scones. Fantastic views. Authentic local eatery.
Great food. Lovely service. Wonderful venue and views.
Delicious food. Friendly staff. Great value.
Awesome. I will see them again soon
Love it as it is unique and different and overlook the fisher mens launching site
WONDERFUL! Fantastic meal was had by all. We had fresh kabeljou, calamari, prawns, fish cakes and mussels. Every single plate was wonderful and the malva pudding was great too. Honest, fresh food made with love. Dont let the outside fool you, you wont be sorry.
Nice views.
Ordered the Prawn Main, Calamari Starter and Fish Cakes Main. I was not expecting 5 star dining but rather a local affair. The overall setting is ok but the food and staff require considerable improvement. All the food except the prawns were bland and lack lustre and the portions were skimpy ,given that the menu is not that cheap it is not value for money. The cob end of lettuce was used in the salad and no sauce provided with the calamari, I had to request this. The card facilities also did not work and we waited 25 minutes for an attempt to sort it out, the staff require some training in basic communication and etiquette.
Went for lunch asked for Calamari and chips and we were told that they not making chips today. Staff unfriendly and we felt that they were just trying to get rid of us. I asked them do they have potatoes they confirmed that they did hut they were adamant .....no chips. So we went elsewhere.
Unique on the beach fresh fish experience. Kassiesbaai serene and the food sublime in its class
Situated in an fishing village, declared a heritage site. Good food.
Fantastic! Great atmosphere and such an authentic experience! Would recommend 100%! Best Calamari around!
No scones, very small portions of cheese and jam with day old brown rolls. Had to ask twice to have it warmed up a bit and received no milk with the coffee. A great big PITY as the place has such natural potential to be a tourist magnet and would speak for itself, if just a little more care was taken with the service and fare that goes out to the patrons. I dont expect fancy, just fresh and homemade. Homemade jam for instance!Although the area is breathtaking and wild I do NOT recommend Willeens for anything more than coffee (without milk!). I will not visit twice.
No one in the place, waited to see menu but no one came so we left
Willeen, thank you for a wonderful celebration of my 60th last night. The crowd of twelve loved the atmosphere and lovely food.... yellow tail, oxtail and bobotie. And then the best malva pudding ever! We all appreciate the effort you have put in to make it a special occasion!
Rustic outside seating, but best fish & chips you can imagine!
Enjoyable place to visit.
Friendly people, well cooked basic food
A marvellous experience.
Very cute little venue. Not sure it would be to everyones liking.

Who expects elaborate will be disapointed. Nevertheless the food is delicuous and the athmosphere is romantic for dinner in the evening.
