Mr Pickwick's is no doubt named after the entertaining and endearing Charles Dickens character of the Pickwicks Papers fame. This quaint, yet vibrant restaurant has an extremely rustic feel to it, so do not expect an upmarket experience. However, if good conversation, scrumptious food and quirky furnishings are your thing, this is the place to go. The restaurant has more of a student feel to it, so bring the youth inside you and join the clan. The burgers are really filling and many a review has been written about them. It certainly is something to try. The most amazing milkshakes and ice creams are on offer and you will be astounded by the amount of flavours. From normal strawberry and chocolate to Turkish delight and caramel and almond. Funky painted tins for light shades, vintage-style crockery, a bustling artsy atmosphere and good old comfort food is what you'll find at Mr. Pickwicks.

The Grill Room

Springs Grills restaurant in Springs

The Grill Room is also open to the general public. The menu has been extended to not only serve meat, but also delicious kingklip with a very special dill sauce, the most succulent chicken schnitzel and finger licking good spare ribs. Prawns are also a favourite of many of the guests. We serve light lunches for the not so hungry and in-a-hurry guests from 12h00 noon. The meat is sourced from Chalmar Beef where the animals are grain fed. The meat is then aged for at least 21 days. Using our secret basting sauce which was acquired in 1979, the meat is grilled to perfection and served with a starch of choice and either vegetables or salad. The Grill Room is still famous for serving the best steaks in town.

Yellow River

Monte Vista Chinese restaurant in Monte Vista

This Chinese outlet in Monte Vista is everything that is good about Chinese food - unpretentious, flavourful, colourful and authentic. Yellow River offers value-for-money meals to hungry diners. The food is plain and simple but definitely does not lack in the flavour department. Expect the usual chow mein with chicken, beef or pork, chop suey with the same and, of course, ta definite favourite the sweet and sour chicken or pork. The spring rolls are delightful and crispy, filled with tasty vegetable stir fry, and all the sides, including traditional fried rice are just as they should be.
