Fantastic food and service in an unexpected place and other Swellendam, South Africa Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Koornlands Restaurant

We never intended to stay (or eat) in Swellendam. But, as it was getting dark, we decided to pull off the N2 and find a hotel. Luckily, we chose to stay at the Cypress Cottage - lucky, because it was a nice little B&B, but even moreso, because it was next door to the Koornlands Restaurant. What a treat this restaurant was... absolutely delicious food, incredible service. We all enjoyed this restaurant so much that I think we'd all put Swellendam on our itinerary the next time we visit South Africa, just so we can eat here again. A real treat. I guess the food would be considered European with a mix of South African. No matter how you classify the food, its fantastic, and the ambience could only be described as extremely fantastic (how's that for hyperbole).

Favorite Dish: The soup, appetizers, mains... everything was great. Excellent wine list, too.
