Great spot and probably the best restaurant in town. Loved the turmeric smoothie. Amazing burger on eggplant. Good gluten free options. Lovely little store to buy takeaway food. Small playground for the kids. The servers all seemed a bit rushed and stressed, otherwise a great experience!Edited to add: we stopped in for our second visit three months later and loved it even more this time around. They’ve added a couple of new menu items and the outdoor seating with a view of the ocean is just wonderful. Maggie the waitress remembered us and made us feel at home.A definite stop on any garden route itinerary.
The food was unusual and that made it enjoyable. The service was lovely. Only recommendation would be that the Harissa Tofu Vegan meal had less of the same taste on such a large meal. It tasted like turmeric on top of turmeric, as opposed to Harissa. Tasted more Indian than Moroccan. Location and View were lovely; the setup of the restaurant was exquisite. The options showed that it was a new niche Cafe with potential for growth.
The best breakfast and coffee ! Hands down the service was great ! Has a little play area for kiddies which is in the shade also. These guys go that extra mile with the menu. I would recommend to any one and hope to be back
Lovely building and friendly staff. The menu is limited which probably ensures that each dish is perfect. We found the portions very generous and more than enough to share if youre not ravenous.I recommend the lemon tea and Moroccan chicken wrap.
Authentic restaurant with interesting menu serving quality food by friendly staff. Located in historic sandstone house. If weather permits the garden at the back is also a good place to sit. Definitely one of the better restaurants in Mossel Bay. Open for coffee and cake during the day.
Food was excellent ..imaginativley amd creatively presented...
Excellent food. Best in the Garden Route. Very good service.
Great location and building. Simple and delicious menu. Friendly staff.
Had the roasted stuffed eggplant last night, and it has to be the most delicious vegan meal I have ever ordered in a restaurant. We have had many breakfasts at Carola Anns too and it never disappoints. Always great service as well!
I honestly cannot recommend Carola Anns enough. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the owners and staff are wonderful people and their restaurant has a great atmosphere (especially their monthly Friday night dinners). Ive had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Carola Anns and everything has been delicious (the banana bread french toast is a favorite of mine). I have even found myself eating foods that are not my favorite as I am convinced Carola Anns can make anything taste good! My husband and I decided to host our intimate (28 ppl) wedding celebration dinner at Carola Anns restaurant and not only was it extremely affordable, but the three course meal still has people talking to this day. The passionfruit cake Corelie made was super delicious as well. It was honestly such a perfect night and everytime I find myself in Mossel Bay I am going to Carola Anns and when I am lucky enough to be there for a friday night dinner, I am definitely making reservations.
Attractive comfortable ambience, helpful and excellent service, delicious vegetarian-friendly food. Highly recommend
Incredible food, outstanding service, great location, fantastic decor! Highly recommended!
Delicious food. Attention to detail. Great staff. We loved every bit of our experience at Carola Ann’s!
Food was good, service was excellent. However at the end of the meal with a bill of R580, only to find out that the restaurant charged me R15 for asking for fresh chillies. They didn’t tell me there would be a charge for this, only added it to my bill. Annoying end to an otherwise good experience- if you ask for condiments, make sure to ask if there is a charge to them.
Best restaurant so far in Mossel Bay. And the best in South Africa in my 3 weeks. Perfect service, stylish design with antique and wood in interior, interesting menu with near to perfect execution. And of course - wine.
Good service and very pleasant atmosphere.
Yummy food. While it’s indoor they separate the seatings.The hummus with the kafkas (sp?) was amazing. The fish samosas were also very good.
Had a vegetarian breakfast. Lots of flavour. Loved the veg options on the menu in general. Excellent coffee.
Most amazing vibe i have ever experienced in a restuarant, extremely friendly service... Exceptionally great food... Mediteranian food if you want something new this is your place... Very romantic, classy and impressive decor... Great for any event!!! Love this place to bits....
My word we had a great meal and a lovely evening. Waiter was very well informed on the drinks and super accomodating with our difficult eating requirements ! A must if you are in Mossel bay
The food and ambiance was lovey! And affordable too! Amazing dinner spot!
What a night! Enjoyed Fairviews Charles Back commentary whilst feasting on Sirian dishes. The wine complimented each and every dish as if it was made for it! Thank you for a superb dining experience!
Noce and cosy
Good quality food with loads of healthy options.
Enjoyed the place and breakfast with our children
The lockdown has clearly affected their Mojo at Carola Anns, weve been for breakfast, that was simple but refreshingly different. This time we made a reservation for friday night dinner, there was no need to book though..Friendly efficient staff, a masculine interior although they could have a rethink about the lighting..dozens of bright bulbs glaring over the interior.. far from intimate, anyone with eyes will have difficulty remaining here for an evening, which is ironic because i imagine they would welcome a few more bodies to enhance the atmosphere.. Dimmers required!Wine list was a little overpriced, starters were ok and the main appeared to be precooked and reheated which flies in the face of previous posters glowing reviews, what went wrong?
We forgot to take photos before we ate 😊 thats how innovative and flavour packed the menu is. Add to that the fantastic service (thanks Rick) and beautiful venue.
Great ambience however to have eastern dishes you need an Eastern name otherwise youd never know they serve Eastern
Carola Anns has no competition on the Garden route. Dont be fooled by the simple interior, they know what theyre doing when it comes to food! Absolutely delicious, mostly middle eastern inspired, but no overpowering tastes, just perfect and most importantly nourishing, healthy food. Both owners are very friendly and so easy going.The food could easily be served as part of a fine dinning experience if placed in a different setting. Although this cosy, super clean little restaurant makes incredible food accessible to everyone.
Friendly staff, food amazing!
Amazing experience! I highly recommend Carola Anns. Amazing food and all round first-class dining experience.
The food was excellent, service was great, I can highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal.
An unexpected gem from first step in. Great food, great ambiance. Super friendly and efficient service from Noms.A culinary flagship of Mossel bay.
Very good and comfortable place. Food warm and filling

I had the Carola Anns breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! My husband and I will definitely be back someday.
Wonderful food. Excellent service!
As a vegetarian, this was hands down the best option in Mossel Bay, while not exclusively vegetarian, they had plenty of very good vegetarian AND vegan options. The location, service, and price were all also very reasonable
I must have visited on a bad day early in February, as the food I ordered wasnt worth the money I paid. I will visit again and gladly update my review if proven otherwise.
Lovely place. Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Highly recommend.
Great for vegans and vegetarians. Although the kitchen is a bit slow its a small price to pay for creative and flavorful food.
Officially the best restaurant in the Garden Route. Phenomenal venue, exquisite food, excellent service ... We will be back
New look. Interesting and delicious healthy food. Vegan options as well.
Great place to visit with a lot of delicious choices. I tried the slow cooked beef and my boyfriend had the hamburguer and everything was great. Service is really good and its a quiet place to relax and enjoy your meal. We paid 290 rands for both plates, a beverage and the cheesecake plus tips
Incredible fresh Middle Eastern cuisine
A lovely place in Mossel Bay with delightful food.
Delicious breakfast, great service and a beautiful view!
Incredible vegetarian and vegan options for both breakfast and lunch. The service was quick and friendly, and the plates were beautifully presented.

Unusual cafe serving tasty professional very well cooked food. South African breakfast with a middle eastern twist. Well cooked with quick service. Will go back for the smoothie with spices.
