In and Around West Coast


Groote Post Restaurant

A trip to Darling isn’t complete without a meal at Groote Post Restaurant. Situated at Groote Post Wine Estate in the Old Manor House which dates back to 1790. Chef Debbie’s signature modern country cuisine uses the freshest produce, much locally sourced and grown.

You can't get more local than the lamb grazing along the country road on the way, or a springbok in the veldt. The herbs and vegetables come from the garden at Trinity Lodge, their guest house in Darling.

Debbie and Shaun, who runs the restaurant with her, are a formidable husband and wife team. Both are professionally trained - Shaun at the Johannesburg Hotel School, Debbie at the Cordon Bleu School in Johannesburg and Prue Leith’s in London.

Sunset Bistro

Watch amazing West Coast sunsets with thousands of cormorants flying in formation over the sea returning from their day's foraging. Enjoy the stunning sight while sitting outside the Sunset Bistro restaurant sipping your favourite cocktail and munching seafood or steak. West Coast magic at its best! READ MORE



Voorstrandt Restaurant

Right on the beach, this quaint restaurant is an awesome spot to watch the tide drift in and out while you munch, scrunch away on the local seafood. By night the friendly little bar is great for pre- or post-dinner drinks and the interior is cosy and warm.

If the weather is fine book a table on the small stoep offering panoramic views of the beach, sea and sky. You might sight a few whales splashing about the sunsets are sublime. The ‘catch of the day’ is your best choice, but there are meaty alternatives, especially during winter. The wine list is small but adequate. Meals are served from 10am to 10pm.

Kaijaiki Restaurant

The Cape is Dutch again! Hidden away from the tourist eye in the less travelled parts of Yzerfontein lies a treasure, a true gem. The ambience of Kaijaiki is traditional Dutch. It has a homely classic feel to it. Not surprising since every single piece in the restaurant was an heirloom in the proprietor's family.

I felt right at home the moment I walked in. Beautiful classical music fills the room and the smell of old wood is one of the first things which put me into a really relaxed mood. The hosts were very friendly and the service was excellent. Not once did I feel that we were not being attended to. The treatment we received was that of royalty.

The food was superb - quite simply the best kudu Carpaccio I have ever tasted. If you are going to have any of the venison or red meats on the menu, then I recommend the Cloof Inkspot Vin Noir 2005. I ordered the filet. It is served with a brandy sauce and was music to my tastebuds. I took a bite of the fillet, a sip of red wine and found the sounds around me just fading away as I slipped into euphoria. Make no mistake, I tried to play devil's advocate, but do not have a single piece of criticism for this delightful little restaurant. Dining has to be an experience, not just a plate of food, and I found exactly that experience at Kaijaiki. 5 Young stars well deserved.

Bosduifklip

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.
