Our menu features organic fruits and vegetables, pastured meats and eggs, local dairy, and stoneground flours—everything is thoughtfully chosen for its quality and sustainability. We work closely with local farms who share our commitment to producing food that's not only delicious, but good for you and the environment.

Our food is fresh, seasonal, and served in a relaxed, sharing style—perfect for everyone, from families with little ones to foodies of all ages. We’re proud to feature wines from Marianne Wine Estate, bringing you exceptional local wine to complement every meal.

    Very welcoming place with swift and friendly service. The food delicious, especially the springbok meat. The restaurant is situated in a secluded spot with a beautiful pond at your feet.

    Lovely to sit on the deck! We enjoyed the menue for 695 ZARvwith additions from the kitchen. Lekker! We brought our own wine (too many bottles left for a few more days in SA), corkage was 80 ZAR which we felt was ok. We can definitely recommend Melfort and it is not as crowded as the popular places like Ernie Else.
