Outstanding! The restaurant has been revamped - so fitting for Tannie Evita! From the host that meets you at the door to the vetkoek en tee served as an apperitiff to the exceptional table service, delicious food and drinks and to top it all the chef comes round and chat. An experience not to be missed!
A special thanks to Fritz and Hentie, for an amazing meal and experience at Kossie Sikelela, the food was amazing. They made us feel welcome and at home. The only way we could describe Henties and Fritz cooking is ouma se kos as a fine dining experience, absolutely worth every penny. Weve decided to make it a regular stop. Thanks again and Tannie Evita was hilarious
Fun and unexpected!Perfect little spot to stop at for breakfast, lunch or just a cup of coffee.We took a short detour through Darling on our way to Paternoster. Stetched our legs and enjoyed a delicious cappuccino before we took the last stretch to Paternoster. Make sure you go and look at the Evita museum which is also there.
Interesting place with great memorabilia from Evita and her political past. Sadly the old theatre has been replaced with a Café by the new owners, but it serves great breakfasts. Definitely worth a visit. The theatre actually doubles up as a cafe during the week and reverts to a theatre on weekends. Thanks for the correction by the owners.
Beautiful place loaded with nostalgia, definitely a trip down memory lane. Friendly personnel and good service
What a beautiful piece of history and all the memorabilia is nice to read and take you back in time.
A fascinating restaurant with loads of character. Loads of memorabilia from the old apartheid South Africa in the adjacent building and a shop full of interesting things. I would have given 5 stars if the restaurant was vegan friendly, but they could not offer even a single vegan lunch option.
Evita Bezuidenhout has been part of our household since 80s. I went on a bike trip with a friend. We saw the sign to Evita se Peron while driving around Darling. What a pleasant surprise. A little museum...takes you back a couple of years. Amazing collection. They are busy with some improvements we will definately stop there again.
Good service friendly people and good food, also have a good wine selection.
Absolutely great time had here. Very friendly open atmosphere and feels very intimate. Lovely to be able to see Evitas history and the museum. The little bookstore is owned by one of the nicest people I have ever met. What am absolute darling...excuse the pun. A definite next time on the cards.
Lots of informative information. Book shop has many recently released books.
Quirky and fun. Nice little restaurant and book.shop.
As always Darling was a must stop for us and what is Darling without Evita se Perron. We had lovely food and was taken on a journey through time through the eyes of a legend and folk icon with snippets of the history of the country and lots of moments with Evita Bezuidenhout. It has changed a bit since the previous visit but is still evenly entertaining. Glad to see that this spot was kept alive.
An awesome place to visit. The food is good! It is nice to wander through the museum and the little bookshop. All the staff are very nice and friendly. A definite stop when in Darling.
Excellent food and even better service. Lots of interesting history there, and a wide variety. From old furniture to political history . Worthwhile visiting
Service excellent people helpful and food good. Lots of public feet there but an awesome vibe and it is excellerating to see the families and bikers get out and live again.The flowers just added to the value of the whole days atmosphere.Walking, talking chitter chatter with everyone around you was absolutely worth it all. Life goes on so lets live it to the fullest in these crazy times that has hit the world by force.Live people live
What a great trip down memory lane. The Nauseum Museum is full of apartheid political melorabilia and boere kitsch. Our kids had no frame of reference so I would recommend it for people old enough to know Tannie Evita and the politics of that era. The food in the restaurant is really really nice! We were fed up with greasy restaurant food after a week on the road and it was nice to just have a plate of regular food that was well prepared. The service is extremely friendly. Worth a visit.
Museum is wonderful. Spend some time looking, reading and enjoying. The food on offer is amazing and the service wonderful. I never miss an opportunity to visit!
What an experience in dining out. Very good food . Service outstanding. Fairly price affordable food
Our food was tasteful. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good value for money.
The owners and chef is great, friendly and helpful. The food is some of the best tasting food I had in the Cape. I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone I meet. Thank you for great service and fantastic food. Johan Erasmus
What can I say about Evita se Perron. A treasure trove of history. Her life and the history of our country in one very purple very beautiful station building. We missed out on Evitas performance but its an excuse to go back to Darling darling. BUCKET LIST MUST. Im not going to spoil your visit with the photos I took, go and see for yourself.
Awesome. Best cheesecakes ever. Museum fascinating. Could spend more time here. Definitely worth another visit.
Good heritage site Regarding Evita live, what she did, her satire and who she met. You must actually know him/her to appreciate the site.
Iconic status atmosphere still retained after change in ownership. Friendly, efficient status.
Love it absolutely love it, and the arum lilies, every where, in the veld and along side the road, what a site for sore eyes.... Beautiful
Very nice food a little pricey. Service was very good
Wonderful reception, great service and good food. Then the museum was to look back on history, and realise the folly.
Interesting facts relating to the past. Very relaxing atmosphere to sit down and enjoy the eats on sale.
Such a charming little.spot desired in the quaint town of Darling. Definatley a must visit, if just for a coffee or you can do a full meal and once the world gets back to normal, come for the dinner theater! A highlight of the West Coast!
Great collection of memorabilia. Nice to see where the grand dame works
Love the old school spirit at Evitas..very peaceful environment and good for relaxation and a lot of amazing stuff to experience 💯👌
Just what we expected with added bonus to meet the legend himself! Nice toffees a must stop when in the area
Always a fun stop ... Was just there for a quick look and to buy a few road-trip souvenirs.
Friendly staff, excellent food. Interesting history. Loved it.
Beautiful place, lovely food! Enjoyed it immensely!
Really interesting boere kitsch. Lively place to visit
Irritating miggies while trying to enjoy outside lunch is a downer. Changed the order to take-aways as soon as the food arrived. Ended up parking Infront of magistrates court under shady tree and tried to enjoy it in the car...with Aircon on ofcourse.
The venue is great and creative. The expectation it created, did actually disappoint because of a lack of ability to service the amount of visitors on the day.
Very interesting but very busy over weekends and staff not trained well.
Nice place. The koeksisters and cheese cake was great
Very average. Nice atmosphere but nothing exceptional.
Best cheesecake we have ever tasted. Loads of toffees to take home😁😁
Absolutely delightful ~ well be back, especially when the theatre opens again!
Service was good, food was good just very expensive
Breakfast was great. The cats were the stars though
Hamburger was excellent, staff helpfull but sometimes you feel left alone
Friendly service and great food that doesnt break the bank!Lovely atmosphere!
There was more than enough parking available. The food was tasty and the whole experience was relaxing. Make sure to try the Peppermint milkshake. Afterwards you can walk through the museum.
This is a must see place. I never new it existed until recently. This is such a huge part of our South African history and Evita has done an awesome job of preserving our rich culture and history.
Love the outside seating. So tranquil being away from Cape Town.
Fabulous. Super food. Friendly service. Well worth the experience. Thankyou Hientkie.
Very friendly staff and amazing coffee
We popped in very briefly on our way back to Cape Town last week and were pleasantly surprised by the little museum and book store in the premises.
A pleasant surprise...will definitely visit again!
Great venue and museum. Worth a visit.
A definite breakfast stop on our next West Coast 🏍 ride...we stopped off for a quick coffee and to check the menu....saw very delicious boere breakfasts being brought out....and inside...the rusk factory, Darling Sweet Company sweets, Tannie Evitas dresses hanging...things to buy...the museum next door..the book shop...go and take a look for yourselves!

Just seen PDU live at his theatre. Always a laugh for those who are pre millennial.

Just great service and workers are super and the food is tops ❤️ would have given it 10 stars if I could
Good food and local items available at this wonderfully themed restaurant.
