Embark on a culinary journey and enjoy a delectable meal at the Forester Restaurant. From the hard wood floors to soft jazz music playing in the background, the Forester resembles a prestigious old English restaurant with impeccable style and class. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is populated with a range of delicacies and hearty dishes, from Krummelpap to Lamb Rump. If one is merely looking for a casual encounter and remarkable view, you are more than welcome to order and enjoy the luxury of our gardens.

We kindly request that you do not bring your own wine, as we do not offer corkage services.

    Such a beautiful restaurant and space. Food is delicious and elegantly plated. We loved Lee-Ann's friendly, Afrikaans-centric service!

    An absolute gem. The most beautiful venue and the added bonus with lovely peacocks roaming in the beautiful gardens. The food is overall very good, but the chicken supreme tends to be very dry, as it is a dish made with chicken breast. A pity.

    Forester @ The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel responded on Mon 23 Dec 24:
    Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and we regret that the chicken was too dry to your preference. We use free range chicken which is not brine injected. We will look into ways of improving this dish and we hope to welcome you back to the Forester restaurant in the future.
