Doringbaai Restaurants

Specialising in seafood, The Cabin sinks the palate with the freshest flavours, prepared with the most succulent ingredients created by commended chef and owner Elize and her daughter Cara and grand daughter Rochelle. Depicting the scene of an anchored vessel, the bow boasts a lovely deck facing seaward, dressed in shaded parasols, un-spoilt views of the ocean and seasonal migrating Whales. The décor reminisces with nautical twists and nostalgic artifacts rescued from shipwrecks and the menu beacons palates far and wide, who return to enjoy a myriad of meat, seafood and light meals served in a relaxed setting, ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Dine alfresco on the wooden deck, soaking up the sun or warm your winter woolies with a home cooked soup, freshly prepared on the Dover Stove. Summer or winter, The Cabin refreshes and warms the senses in characterful and cosy surrounds; the perfect place to indulge in succulent seafood and picturesque grounds.

For a unique veld dining experience in true West Coast style, try the open-air Bosduifklip restaurant, situated 4 km from Lambert's Bay next to the tarred Clanwilliam and Lambert's Bay road. Here, along the old winding road in the heart of the Sandveld, surrounded by ancient rock-formations and concave cliffs - the whole caboodle - mums and dads, oumas and lighties, neighbours and friends, can linger undisturbed, relax and savour a way of life long lost in other places.Take your pick from a wide variety Sandveld and seafood dishes sizzling off the coals - crayfish and mussels, snoek and sweet potato, lamb on the spit, salads, plassbrood, konfyt and sweet dumplings - then wash it down with steaming coffee. But in the end it will always be the rhythm of the concertina and guitar; perhaps a quick-step or two in the old stone kraal under a starlit sky and fond memories that will bring you back to the Bosduifklip time and time again."On their farm Kobus and Aletta Engelbrecht are cooking up a storm of Sandveld cuisine, add to well-prepared Bosduifklip food a starlit sky and a spot of "wikkeling die boude" to music on a concrete dance floor, and the sophistication of the city loses much of its appeal" Lannice Snyman, Getaway Magazine.
