More pancakes and other Sabie, South Africa Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Petena's

Graskop and Sabie seem to be the pancake mecca of the lowveld.

From previous travels I remembered Petena's and couldn't wait to get to Sabie for the pancake.s
(A pancake is a very popular south african dish. I know the French calls it crepe's. Pancakes are thicker and can be filled with any savoury or sweet filling. Traditionally it was eaten with cinnamon and sugar ) .

Nice big verandah. You don't want to sit inside except when the weather is very bad. Great view over the mountains.

Great service. Excellent food.

Favorite Dish: My alltime favourite is the asperagus and cheese sauce filling. The best.
Kids and hubby don't eat asperagus so they always have curry or chicken. Lovely.

It was great 5 years ago. It is still great.

Restaurant Name: Smokey pancake world

More pancakes? No. Here we tried the pizza and it is great. Part of the restaurant is in the train and than there is also a beautiful outside area with plants and water features. Very quiet and relaxing. Staff is friendly and patient. On a previous occasion Rian (he was 3 then) knocked over milkshakes and virtually destroyed everything on the table. They calmly moved us to an outside table and could run around without breaking anything.

Favorite Dish: Pizzas are great and big. I see they have added potjiekos ( very traditional SA dish - similar to a stew) but we didn't try that.
