A tranquil spot. It wasn’t very busy when we went. Tables set outside under the trees. The party chose a number of different mains, from the wraps through the lasagna and chicken pie. Everyone enjoyed their food. The wine selection was a little limited but all were exceptionally well priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. Worth a stop.
We stumbled onto MelonRouge on our way to another restaurant in the area. Great little place that was quiet, away from the mad rush. We sat outside in the lovely garden area and had a superb value for money lunch, delivered with a smile and great service. Will definitely return.
Food was lovely. Good service.
We loved the outdoor seating and lovey garden area. The food was great and staff very friendly. The book shop and antique store had some very nice things
Thank you so much to the owner and fantastic staff.We felt at home immediately.Coffee was available all day during class.Superior service.Affordable tasty meals.What more can I say?Jewel in our area
Stunning place for breakfast! Really enjoyed our breakfast - great value for money! Really recommend MelonRouge if youre in the area!
Such a gorgeous place hidden away. Great staff and so much to have a look at. Loved it here!
What a fantastic experience, we discovered it by chance and will definitely visit again
Beautiful setting to relax and have great food :)
Perfect spot for privacy and relaxation. Really beautiful Antiques too!
Lovely setting with friendly staff and fresh meals. Interesting collection of antiques to browse through, worth a visit even if passing through.
Beutiful little gem with awesome food and very friendly staff.
Was not impress with cake and coffee. You cant ask the same price then another restaurant that will give you a proper piece of cake and also better.
Chicken pie & milk tart speciality. Love the peaceful surroundings. Peaceful and just a beautiful place out in the country. Lovely friendly staff.
Oh what a joy! To find somewhere with great service and a value for money menu. Thank you for for providing actual hospitality. Food and drink was great - atmosphere fantastic and staff brilliant. Will be back.
Arty and eclectic place. Good food and interesting setting. After breakfast have a look around the book store and antique shop.
Lovely unique place in the westrand. Peaceful meal in the garden forest, full of books & Antiques. Must see/Visit
Quiet , neat , clean and great food, get in your car and drive there .. only 45 min out of jhb.
Great atmosphere, home cooked meals, sitting under trees facing a forest, awesome.
Nice place with antique art stuff on minimal rates. Nice restaurant nearby and scenic beauty is all around the place.
The food was really good. Worth a visit.
This place has a real country vibe and offers good food, a large range of second hand books and an ever expanding range of antiques
Great selection of vegetarian options and dog friendly! Lovely outside setting. Quirky.
Nice and relaxing.
Nice venue ,especially outside but a rather limited menu
The surroundings and decor is beautiful. It has a lot of potential.
We were greeted by very friendly staff. The place is very beautiful with some relaxed live music in the background. Great fun to walk around the place and have a look at the antiques. The vibe is very relaxed and open air with nice views. Definitely worth a visit.The food menu is limited but tasty. Expect something a little bit different from what you are used to. I had a pie and this was quite good, although a bit on the dry side.
Staff are always friendly, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the antiques are awesome
Awesome little spot hidden away in the bush! Quiet and quaint. One of our favourite spots for a breakfast on a Sunday morning motorbike ride. Staff are friendly, food always good, venue amazing... I shouldn’t be writing this as you’ll all disturb the peace and tranquility if you pitch up!!!😜😜
Cute place...dont be motivated by hunger. Great vibes average food
Beautiful place, very easy going.
Nice peaceful restaurant. Lots of shady trees and good food.
Excellent place to sit, relax and have a great cup of coffee.Browse the fashion shop, art gallery, antiques and bookshop while youre there.Love it and will be visiting frequentlyOctober 2021 - New look, new feel. Antiques and books bigger and better. Food still excellent, if not better, Coffee brilliant.
Staff are super friendly and the food was better than expected.
Food is not impressive. The waiter does not know the menu. Lasagna ... this is certainly not lasagna, sorry
This is probible the worst place to go for breakfast 15 of us went waited 2.5 hours for breakfast some ended up not even eating im not impressed after we had even pre booked wont see me again
What a wonderful place. In the middle of nowhere. Tables and chairs under the trees, so peaceful and tranquil. Staff are super friendly and really prepared to go the extra mile. I dont give 5 stars often but they really deserve it. Will definitely be back👍
Good food, very interesting ambience
This place is definitely a hidden gem! Beautiful setting, out in a gorgeous garden. There is a cute antique store too! The food was delicious and homely! We had the lamb and mint pie and the lasagne and both were great! Their pies are homemade too which was amazing, and the pastry was spot on!
Nice place. Very quaint and unusual. Loved the garden setting and got great personal attention and service. Quick and friendly owner who was quite attentive and helpful trying to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Food was good. pie was crammed with meat cute sandpit for kids to play in. Will be back for a chilled afternoon.
Lovely place, good food, friendly staff and pet friendly!
Food was good, service excellent
Beautiful garden with a calm and tranquil atmosphere
Relaxed atmosphere, coffeeliscious cappuccino. Loved the peppermint tart. Friendly helpful staff. We will go again
Not great. Needs a lot of work.
Beautiful setting in a garden. Very friendly staff. Best pies ever. Highly recommended!
Service was shocking
Great food at very good prices. Has a very pleasant home made feel to it.
Random stop on our way out of JHB, little quaint restaurant and atmosphere! The home cooked food was amazing, and the personal service was great. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area to stop her for a peaceful bite to eat!
Lovely to browse; food is averageThis is a lovely place to browse when youre in the area.Their store is packed with antiques and unique items that is hard to source anywhere else. Take the time to browse through the various areas with goods; youll find anything from clothes to furniture, art and even a section with books at Melon RougeThe menu offer mostly cafe food with pies, some salads, breakfasts and more. I opted for the bobotie with salad and it was an average meal.You can either sit inside or outside, depending on your preference.If you like browsing then put this place on your list of places to visit
Tons of antique eye candy. Old typewriters etc. Very quaint. Wish they would bring back the shady canopy that distinguished the restaurant from all others and left me with an indelible memory of a great meal.
A good place if you love antiques. Not much happening here.
We did go for a Sunday breakfast. The staff was super friendly. The breakfast was well prepared. For a place called Melon Rouge I just would have expected some more options for the breakfast like e.g. Croissants. When we asked if we are allowed taking some pictures they even suggested to try on some of their vintage clothes to take pictures. We will come again.
What an amazing venue. The staff are really friendly and great place for the kids to run around and explore. Make a point to spend some time here when you are in Magaliesburg.
A real gem of a place where art, antiques, old books, clothes and great coffee and treats take you into a world of fantasy, amidst tranquil trees.
Amazing little place! Friendly staff, devine food! And so much to look at, will definitely visit again!
What a quaint, dog friendly, little restaurant and shop. The pies were just delicious! Value for money in a tranquil and beautiful setting.
What a great place...wonderful tasty homemade food...friendy and helpful staff...beautiful setting... just relax and enjoy ......not to be missed..
Lovely experience. Very friendly staff, owners makes you feel very welcome. Lots of things to see. Makes you a bit nostalgic. Had a wonderful time. Will be back soon.
Everyone at this venue is so friendly and attentive. Interesting place.
Best oxtail pie you will ever taste in your life.
We thought of having an average toasted sandwich and got the most wonderfull and delicious suprise as the photo shows. Interisting shop whith a wide variaty of antiques. The lady at the shop is an absolute gem.
Staying in Magaliesburg so decided to pop in. Wandered through the antiques, clothing, art and books. Interesting but did not find anything that appealed to me. Decided to have lunch. Yes it is a small menu but found a vegetarian pie of sweet corn and butternut. Very nice! Enjoyed a couple of hours away from the caravan park.
Awesome place, wonderful hosts who welcome you personally, had a great time here, a must visit
A unique place. I think very popular with students. We enjoyed morning tea, milkshakes and coffee. A baby seat was all that was lacking.
Nice outside seating
Very limited menu, but home made pies are exceptional, friendly staff, worth a visit to relax and sit in the garden
They were great a few years ago. Now not so much. The service is dismal. The decor is tired. The menu glued into ancient magazines doesnt quite work. The food doesnt even redeem them - a little expensive, and my cottage pie was swimming in oil. Rather give them a skip.
Tranquil atmosphere and a lot of things to get you lost in the antique stores.Highly recommended milkshake as well!
Fun book store to visit before or after you had a snacl to eat. Surrounded with trees and plants you feel like you are in a forest far from the hussle of the city. Worth a stop if you are in the area
Brilliant experience! Great hostess and great food!
Small hidden gem! Love the outside setting. Food was great and and enjoyed the relaxing vibes
Pet friendly. Good food.
Quirky and eclectic. Lovely variety of items for sale, or just for admiration. Friendly service. Art by Frances Wedepohl is like a friendlier version of Pierneef.
Awesome
Aircon on a hot day. Nice coffee and muffin. R20
Very nice venue. Friendly people & staff wide selection off items on the menue and well priced. Realy a must for the whole family.
Really loved this unique little restaurant with the antiques. Some lovely vintage clothes and old trinkets worth viewing
The most amazing experience. Service is great and food as well.
Awesome food and service.
If you want a place out in the Stix, have a pleasant meal, do a bit of pawn shop and old collectibles buying, then this is the place. Been there twice now.
Been going for yearsQuaint little French restaurantLovely libraryDress upOld cars and recordsOne of the first little restaurants in town
Lovely relaxing atmosphere!!!
Lovely rustic country restaurant and antique shop. Very friendly staff and great coffee.
Great place to take time out from a crazy world! Chilled and peaceful with tasty food too.
Meh ... nothing amazing, antiques are just ok, books are just ok. People are nice but probably not worth a stop.
