EDIT: The restaurants sassy and unprofessional response certainly won’t increase my rating nor the chances of me ever coming back. What type of establishment takes a non-threatening genuine feedback item and bashes clients for that view? Unacceptable. Original comment below even had “we’ll try again for lunch” but that’s of course out of the picture now - avoid this place and it’s management at all costs.ORIGINAL:This applies to the Bistro only - Perhaps Covid affected the menu range, breakfast was average and no alternate milks available for coffee.
The menu was very limited (and no, we were not there over the snow weekend). As someone who cannot eat red meat or have any diary, I really struggled to find anything suitable at this restaurant. The owners incredibly rude response made the experience and memories of our trip here even worse. Its incredibly patronising to be told the reason for not stocking alternative milks is because 0.1% of our customers ask for them. LOTS of people have allergies and health concerns meaning they cannot have eat/drink any lactose - its not just for vegan customers, although that should be taken seriously too. Additionally, alternative milks are long life and can be kept for a while - its not a huge expense. Looking at your responses to other 1-star reviews, Id just like to add that I work alongside a local cafe and we NEVER make Covid an excuse for bad service or a bad experience. We also would NEVER bash people for writing their honest review - thats just unprofessional. Perhaps take it as an opportunity to improve rather than an opportunity to berate people people for not enjoying your space. Everyone is suffering because of Covid - its not an excuse.
The Harvest Table Bistro is a lovely family restaurant. Excellent service, friendly and attentive staff and owners. The menu is vast and the food was sublime. Best pizza and burgers weve had since moving to the Cape! Highly recommended.
Whilst there are great reviews, this was my experience at Harvest Bistro:My friends and I visited the restaurant yesterday, 28 August 2021, after seeing the snow in Ceres. The service we received from the restaurant was absolutely horrible. No one seated us until I asked to be seat. I had to ask for the menus twice and after 30 minutes, no one took our order. The restaurant was somewhat busy and it didnt look like they were understaffed and even if they were, they should have communicated with us. After more than 30 minutes of terrible service, we decided to leave. Upon our departure, the owner/manager just looked at us, not asking why were leaving, instead she chatted away.Would be great if their services can be improved for future business.Sadly, not a great experience.
Servive outstanding and making my girls matrix farewell one to remember forever
Surrounded by mountains. Lovely surroundings. Waiter is friendly. Food was great.
Friendly and efficient service with a personal touch. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully plated. Dinner in front of the fireplace was the cherry on top.
Only stopped for lunch great service tasty pizza, amazing views.
Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great!
We didn’t stay the evening but we did try the restaurant on our way through. We were pleasantly surprised by the relaxed atmosphere, the calming music but most of all their food. The mozzarella chicken burger is a MUST. It was spectacular. So glad we found this gem. If you are looking for a place to stop for coffee and something to it, there’s no need to look further. The waiter was friendly and the owner was just as pleasant.
What a lovely place, lovely setting, food superb and staff excellent and very friendly.Been there a few times with my family and they never disappoint. Thank you, see you soon. Regards, Müllers Mooiplaas.
Outstanding service and the food was devine. Will definitely be coming back.
Wonderful experience, super friendlyWill definitely be going again.
Delicious meal and attentive staff, will definitely be back.
Beautiful, did not wait long to be served
Not welcoming and slow service. Had to ask for a menu and after 30 mins still wasnt asked to order
Great location great food wonderful waitress with a big smile
Excellent food, best ribs in Cape Town.
Another very special experience.It was the second time that we end up asking for unplanned accommodation and like before Winterberg Mountain Inn was able to accommodate us for the night.We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Our dinner and breakfast was also delicious.Thank you Winterberg Mountain Inn. We will definitely visit again when in the area.
Excellent settingGreat serviceGood food
Beautiful Sunday Morning BreakfastWe visited the gorgeous restaurant at the Winterberg Inn this morning and enjoyed the most delicious breakfast. All the elements were perfectly prepared and I particularly enjoyed the homemade bread and delightful corn fritters. Their homemade lemonade is very refreshing and definitely worth a try. Thank you to Karien and her friendly staff for a great Sunday morning breakfast.
I had my daughters birthday party there, they had a fun time! The service was great, and the waiters were very patient and friendly with the girls. Compliments to the chef on delivering 9 delicious pizzas! Thank you, and see you again soon!
Perfect environment for a family get together.
Very relaxed vibe. Good food. Kids enjoyed a swim. All round very nice
Thanks for having us. The food were devine as always and staff the reason why we will always go back again.❤️
Friendly service, good food, beautiful setting
Not to bad, food was so so, service was so so, Ive had better.
Excellent service and food. Dog friendly. Beautiful black Labrador. Burgers were well liked by all.
Was very nice we enjoy it
Awesome gem, great food accompanied by friendly service. Burgers and ribs are highly recommend.
A little hidden away gem, really great food, and extremely friendly staff, we enjoyed every minute of it, even when the huge rain spider ran above our heads on the roof, a good way to get the blood flowing.
Excellent, best place around for early morning breakfast and enjoy the outdoors
Lovely place to enjoy lunch with friends and enjoy good food, good service!! Ideal for people with young children, they love the swimming pool!!
The friendtly staff....the pork Ribs from the best..the surounding Mountain..beautifull place...
Great food, great atmosphere, amazing location!
Liked it plenty much!
Best pizza ever and the gardens are so tranquil
Lovely place, comfortable and real nice people running itGreat breakfast and lovely restaurantAlways a friendly smile from the staff and they are veryaccomodating
Tatenda is a gracious host. The homemade lemonade was delicious and the food was delicious. Best pizza I have had in ages!
Charming and old fashioned! The ribs they are known for were very good!
Nice place to stopover on the way to Clanwilliam. I had the pulled pork burger which was good but lose some of the grissle and make sure the chips are properly cooked. The location is good and service was also good...
Delicious food😋
Visiting the Harvest table bistro was an horrible experience. There is only one waiter to service all the tables which means slow service. I has the chicken burger on their menu which was overpriced for what you get. The bun was so hard I could not bite through it and could only eat the chicken. When telling the waiter about the experience he just replied with okay. Would never visit again
Disagree... I found a cockroach in my pizza. Disgusting 🤢 The waiter was very good at his job. No stars for food
Great food and friendly staff!
Cute venue offering lodging to those who want as well as a reasonably priced restaurant. They offer the normal food at the restaurant including burgers, pizza, and starters for those who are just feeling peckish. Definitely a nice stop for a Sunday lunch, if youre in the area, as they have some great offers on hand - be sure to call beforehand and ask what the specials are!
The havestabel bistro burgers are to die for the food are fresh and tasty and the service best ever keep on with your good work guys will be back soon
Support the scrumptuous breakfast
Good food, slow service
Nice food. They often dont have whats on the rather small menu, but the food is good and beautifully presented. You always come away feeling satisfied.
Very welcoming, friendly staff. Welcomed our Boston Terrier Sophie. Great burgers, plus a beef patty for Sophie. Lovely, relaxing environment.
My son and I spent the weekend at this little piece of heaven and there is something unequivocally magical about this place.The owner and staff are warm, welcoming and the service provided is something often sought, yet very rarely found today.

Good selection of food at average price range. Had better coffee at other places. Nice atmosphere
Amazing setting, delicious food and excellent service
Had a take away pizza enroute to CT. Friendly sanitary service. Speedy delivery and really delicious. Thank you.
Beautiful setting and food
Very good food and good service
Stopped for quick lunch, had amazing rib&pineapple pizza. Beautifull setting
Stayed there as part of a group. Staff made us very welcome and the food and accommodation were simple but good. Our rate was R500 pppn bed and breakfast, but you will get latest info on prices from their website.
Awesome views. Lovely homemade lavender infused lemonade. Tasty meal too.
Really great food and service
My boyfriend and I always make a point to visit the Winterberg Inn whenever we are in or around the valley. The delicious, melt in your mouth ribs keep us coming back as I really think they beat any ribs Ive had in Cape Town. The staff and management team are attentive and friendly and food appears in the right amount of time. Oh, and the pool is a life saver during those days when the temperature soars!
Great, pet friendly, place to enjoy a meal. We sat outside under the trees with our dog and enjoyed our burgers.
Stopped for a quick lunch and drink. Food and service very good.
Restaurant service very poor. Waited half hour for someone to take our order and then waited another 45 minutes for food. On top of it we feel the staff is Not properly trained to serve customers.. Wont go back again anytime soon... I ordered fish and my husband ordered chicken schnitzel and its definitely not worth the price..
Wont visit again. Service poor, forgets about their customers etc.
This is such a brilliant spot at the foot of the Ceres pass. The venue restaurant is under utilised and the staff are too few to cater on busy days for light meals. Ample parking, lovely mountain views in this tranquil setting.
Cozy place to stay anytime...Best rates in the area if you need a place to rest while traveling far or even if planning a weekend with the family.The staff are friendly, the food is great and the beer is refreshing.They also serve a good old cup of Joe and I have to say, their breakfast stays my favourite.
Love it
Sunday lunch under the trees and the kids are swimming = 5 stars
Welcoming staff. LOVELY setting. Rooms clean and comfortable with great bedding! Meals well worth it!!!!!
Best hamburgers this side of the Boland
Great pleasure to stop for coffee, tea or a meal. Excellent food in peaceful surroundings.
Good food & friendly service.
My wife has booked us for a Saturday Night for my friends wedding. She found the booking experience extremely tedious and frustrating.Another friend of mine is also coming to the wedding and has booked accommodation at another place for two nights without any hassles. I was hoping to book an extra night to be able to spend some more time with my friends from far, but there is no answer on the telephone number provided and no alternative number to dial. Also their website is down ...Seems like well be booking in somewhere else for Friday nightIf this is the service you get on trying to make a booking, Id rather not think about the service to expect on arrival
Awesome food! Enjoyed the craft cider on tap! Had a fantastic 2 day stay. Highly recommended!
Best pizza in town.
Beautiful setting, great service, good food, very friendly owner and staff.
The most unforgettable experience with my family and we even got to bring along our extended family aka our dog :)Highly recommended anytime throughout the year!The staff were amazing and so kind. We received true VIP treatment throughout our stay.Next time, a longer stay is on the books :)THANK YOU!
Awesome breakfast at reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Great location at the foot of the pass
What used to be a lovely little spot for Saturday morning breakfast has turned into a great view with absolutely pathetic service . Worst experience ever on 11 August 2018. Waited for breakfast for more than an hour . The waiter was rude, unfriendly and uninterested. The menu changes are appalling and leave no room for selection of options . 3 breakfast options which arent even captivating. Employ more staff and employ people who enjoy customer service .
Friendly service
Locals like it for long, lazy lunches on Sundays, and theres a jungle gym for kids near the pool. Some AfrikaBurn revellers choose to break their journey with a stay here before or after The Burn. Pretty garden setting...
Always a great visit. Superb hosts make one feel so welcome
The place is situated right at the foot of the mountain great views and the hospitality is very good I loved this place
Couldnt get a better breakfast!! Very good service. Dont miss out.!
Great place. really pretty and the food was good. bit pricey for what we got.
Im a repeat customer at the Harvest Table Bistro at the Winterberg Mountain Inn because its always such a pleasant experience. The food is simple, but delicious, and the service is impeccable.
Very good services
