The best restaurants Small Karoo

In the centre of the village of Prince Albert, we like the kindly crazy side of this famous restaurant where the shady owners propose regional specialities around the fetish sheep of the Karoo, always perfectly cooked. For dinner, the atmosphere is subdued at the Karoo Kombuis with candles on each table set on its red-checked tablecloth. Everything on the plate is homemade and served generously, just like at grandma's house. You will always find some vegetarian options à la carte for non-carnivores.

A good table that takes us to discover the many gastronomic treasures of the Karoo. In a large house with many elegant and romantic tables, and in a pretty patio and garden in front or behind, a few pleasant tables where you can have lunch under a ray of sunshine. A la carte ostrich meat of course, but also perfectly cooked lamb, beef and antelope (venison) accompanied by tasty sauces, all accompanied by a good local wine. At Jemima's Restaurant, the service is impeccable.

On Church Street, The Lazy Lizard is a very cosy cafe to linger a while. Its shaded terrace is a great place to come and have breakfast. In this very cute white house, we also come to eat on the go or nibble a bit in the afternoon. A charming table where we serve small dishes and sandwiches as well as excellent pastries, the crumble is a delight, at very soft prices. Caryn the cook will also make you a homemade lemonade to fall down! Free wi-fi, but no alcohol.

An excellent address and a restaurant that bears his name well. It's a doll's house with a lot of old trinkets in decoration: suitcases, hats, bottles... On the tables, lace doilies from our grandmothers and old vinyl as placemats. What nostalgia! The dishes are simple and tasty and the quality/price ratio is unbeatable. And of course, the ostrich is in the spotlight on your plates! Fantasy in your mouth and around you for this tasty leap in time.

An authentic Portuguese restaurant in the main street of Calitzdorp. Okay, it's not the most local you can find, but the Mediterranean cuisine is a delight and the room is very pleasant with its azulejos on the wall and red brick arches. The atmosphere is friendly in this pretty house, the tables are set as at home with blue and white check tablecloths. On the plates: grilled fish and prawns, shrimp with garlic cream, seafood curry, and even beautiful cheese platters.

A magical place to have lunch amidst the vineyards and with the Swartberg mountains as a backdrop. The property, meanwhile, is Victorian in style, and its relaxed atmosphere is perfect for enjoying the region's food and wine in a completely privileged outdoor space. Events, lunches, tastings and tapas: Karusa is both a local family winery and a beer pioneer. For it is also the first craft microbrewery in the Little Karoo region.

A very friendly restaurant where one will be able to test full with local specialties containing ostrich, of which the famous fillet of ostrich of an incredible tenderness! Dishes for the vegetarians. Very good wine list. Free Wi-fi. Chance be made take by car free with its hotel by calling the restaurant, very a good idea!
