Oppie Dorp was a pleasant surprise. They are very unassuming from the outside. Once you sit down you are blown away. The service was great. Eddie was attentive to our needs and gave us great service. The food was delicious. Oppie Dorp is very affordable. The portions are generous. We ordered the pork belly and calamari starters and it was almost like a main meal. Some restaurants would give you less as a main meal. Very tasty! The dessert was very nice too. We will be going back.

Starters are affordable,we had a lovely rich pork belly. Mains are rather pricey, we shared a Mushroom Risotto which was tasty. Friendly helpful staff.

Unpleasant, Unprofessional and disappointing experience on a Birthday.After making a booking for 5 people for lunch and confirming lunch with the entertainer app. the owner refused to accept.During the entire experience he did not greet or acknowledge us in the restaurant or show any interest in our meal or experience.it was extremely embarrassing and humiliating to be treated in this manner on your birthday. i still very very hurt, embarrassed and disappointed in this behavior. Surely guess should not be treated in this manner.Also after making the expensive call for a booking and driving the extra distance to get to the restaurant when there were other options for lunch closer to our holiday accommodation it was not necessary to be treated like this.surely, if the owner does not want customers to use entertainer app, maybe entertainer customers are not good enough for his restaurant they he should not be on the app at all.Very, very disappointed !!

When you approach, there is outside seating which looks very casual and inviting, but when you enter the front door you are greeted with a place of elegance and comfort.The waiters are well prepared and there is nothing on the menu they are unsure of and have the specials down pact.I was hoping the food would be as good as the the service, but it was better! We could not have asked for a better prepared meal, even the side dishes were prepared to perfection.Dear owner, I commend you on the absolute exquisite food, oh, and I loved reading and having a giggle at the quips you have on the menu

Quiet Restaurant with effective fast service. The food was amazing. Had lamb shank with rosemary patato wedges. The shank was infused with a mint jelly juice. Reasonably priced big portion could not finish the whole plate.

We arrived a bit late and there was a bus load of folks in here, so we had to order quickly.The food which they served was just gorgeous. We have never seen such a huge tuna steak, or succulent ostrich fillets. They have a great range of affordable wines, and the service is very good if a little erratic.

My wife and I had dinner here this past weekend. Considering the price point, we were disappointed with the standard of the food. We both had the lamb, and mine was not soft, quite chewy in fact, (my wifes was better) but both of ours was way too salty, and this coming from someone who enjoys their food on the salty side. For desert, I had the Creme Brulee, this too wasnt up to standard, with the consistency being far too runny. My wife had the Malva pudding, and it was rather bland. Service was good enough, and staff were friendly, they just need to up their game in the kitchen.

Lovely restaurant with really nice staff! We had a very tasty springbok cappacio, followed by the amazing wild platter: ostrich, springbok, crocodile, kudu and duck. And finished with a nice creme brulee. They were able to prepare all of this gluten free :)Would definitely go back here!

Excellent service from Colin. This restaurant comes up when I search for vegan restaurants in Stellenbosch even though their vegan options are limited to a pizza. Colin did go to the trouble of modifying a dish for me in order to make it vegan.

Weve been to Oppie Dorp due to a personal recommendation and we werent disappointed at all!The food is great,tasteful and plenty. Ask for the meat platter (not explicitly on the menu) and youll get a great range of different African game meat.The staff was very friendly and quick to react.When Im back in the area again, I will come back for sure!

Review №37

Lots of sugar in the sauce for the slow roasted lamb. It tasted like there was a bunch of chutney in it. It would have been better if they just seasoned it with salt and pepper. My wifes sirloin was somehow sweetened as well.The lights were super bright for an evening meal.The chairs could not be pulled into the table.The whole place just needs a revamp, top-to-bottom.

Great food and friendly staff. They have a great tasting plater with the different wild game meat. Prices are slightly higher than your average restaurants, but the quality and variation is worth the slightly higher charges (of course hopefully it will not be more). They have some good wine (as in all places in the area). Make sure to make a reservation if you want to sit outside during the good weather days. Will certainly return to this place if I am in the area.

We had dinner at Oppie Dorp. The location is rather small but nicely furnished and decorated. Food is of high quality but our fish was not perfectly seared. Apart from that, the food definitely is worth the price, as is the service, which was so good it needs to be mentioned here.Oppie Dorp also has the advantage that they are open on Mondays when many other restaurants are closed.

The food is incredible. It has lots of different rooms for seating so there is not one large restaurant floor. The waiter was most helpful. I had the slow roasted lamb which was exquisite. The music was very quiet and in the background...so one could talk and one of my friends is deaf so it was a pleasure for him.

Review №57

One of my favorite places to bring visitors for dinner. The detailed offerings change often but the lamb dish, venison of the day, and fish of the day are always good bets, as is the calamari. Many of the starters can be ordered as mains. Sometimes they also have a Venison Platter, with a selection of game meats, which is fun with international visitors. For dessert, their Malva Pudding is the best Ive had. Nice old building and cute decor.

Every time we’ve been here we’ve had excellent service. Today Isaac went way beyond what we would hope for good service, recommending a good wine, taking photos, and organising food for our kids despite the absence of an official “kids menu”. Food was top notch, and portion sizes good adult-sized (not crazy student-sized 😉) Thanks for a lovely experience!

The Biltong salad was great. The seafood pizza was not really doing it for me. We were kind of seated behind a post, but otherwise pretty much on the street. Service was okayish.

What an amazing dining experience! Everything on the menu is amazing!! I dont think youll have a chance of ordering a bad meal here. Friendly service and only excellent food and wine.

Oppie Dorp is certainly one of the best restaurants in the Stellenbosch area. Although not as inviting from the outside as others the inside is cozy and warm. It is an ideal place for a relaxed dinner next to the fireplace. Dishes are of outstanding quality and beautifully presented. There is always something new or different on the menu. The portions are also quite large but Im certainly not complaining. The staff are friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Oppie Dorp has proven time and again that they deserve to be one of my all time favourites.
