We had a lovely lunch at Dornier on Sunday 5 May. The setting is beautiful with stunning views of the mountains, the steak was just perfect and the service (Doxy) was very friendly and efficient. This was not our first time at Donier and definitely not our last!

We went on a Wednesday for lunch to experience the 50% off shellfish special. It was a wonderful experience. The service was outstanding. I could not fault it in any way. The seafood platter was really great, but the dessert was amazing. I would go back again just to sample all the desserts on the menu!

The food was great. The service was great. What really made this an even more relaxing experience was the view. We were also pleased that we could do the wine tasting while enjoying our lunch – almost like a wine paired lunch…..Amazing

We had Sunday lunch and my Beef Fillet was absolutely exquisite. It was juicy and flavoured with the most awesome fresh garden herbs. Prepared to perfection. My 8 year old son was given a Hot Dog that I would have been ashamed to serve. It had a short stubby bit of Boerewors in a somewhat mangled and broken dry roll.... More

We all (4 of us) had a great meal attended to by a friendly waiter in a beautiful setting. The portions were ample given that we had a 2 course special. A most enjoyable day to the extent that some of us have been back for more!

Three of us enjoyed lunch here on a warm and sunny afternoon. The menu is mainly Mediterranean but we had the Easter special of local crayfish and sea food. The huge prawns were particularly good. The usual menu is moderately priced but the seafood was expensive. We were charged for extra bread which was a bit mean as we were... More

As they are open now for dinner on some days we went there to have a light meal. We had a nice evening, the food was very nice, the wine from the estate was good, only the service must improve. The waitress was very kind and helpful but she didn't know a lot about the menue she was explaining. Looking... More

We had a lovely lunch at the Bodega. The view is fantastic from the terrace and the food is excellent. There is also a nice playground just beside the restaurant, which was much appreciated by our youngest son. There was no trouble waiting for the food! Try the Flammekuchen with Salmon! Really nice!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and a birthday at Bodega and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. It is the best sea food platter that I have had in a very long time. We have also had lunch there on a number of occasions in the past and rate it very highly. The food was great, service (by Percy) was friendly and... More
