Just what's needed! and other Sun City, South Africa Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Bagathla Camp breakfast room

The restaurant doesnt look like anything special from the outside but it is a real deal! The price of the breakfast was included in our accommodation price.

We paid a tip to the staff at the end of our stay, asking that they share it out between them, as each morning we were served by a different person, and they were all so friendly and helpful, and the food was so delicious!

The staff are wonderful with children, are cheerful and pleasant, making your eggs (in front of you) exactly as you would like them.

Favorite Dish: They have tea, coffee, orange juice, apple juice and trpical (mixed fruit) juice available, for as many refills as you wish for!

The breakfast is laid out buffet-style and has a variety of foods and drinks, catering for all types of pallets.

There is the English cooked breakfast, with egg, bacon, beans, sausage, and a hash brown. They cook your egg whichever way you'd like it :) You can make your own toast with white, brown or wholewheat bread.

They have croissants and scones, with all kinds of jams and marmalades too.

There are also a variety of fruits for a fruit salad, available, from peaches to pear halves, from mango pieces to guava halves, to mixed fruit. Then there is the choice of vanilla or strawberry yoghurt... for your fruit, or for your corn flakes/all bran flakes/muesli.

It really sets you up for the day, and we werent hungry for lunch till quite late.

VERY good value for money... and what lovely staff!

Restaurant Name: Btwn Joburg and Sun City

We needed a bite to eat - some breakfast! - as we had travelled for just under an hour, and a good way still to go.

We stopped off here to get some groceries and supplies for our self-catering bungalow at Bakgathla Camp, and then decided to eat here, on the rooftop terrace.

The sun was shining, you could see round for miles, we were hungry and happy :)

Service was punctual and friendly, we didnt wait long for our drinks and milkshakes - yum - and then the food arrived.

Favorite Dish: We all had slightly different breakfasts, mine was the farmers breakfast.

It had tomato, mushrooms, toast, egg and some pumpkin too... different to the usual breakfast... and tasty!!!

The guys had the full-on breakfast, with everything anf more!

Clara had a breakfast that came with a lovely mix of fresh fruit... it looked great! Even though I enjoyed mine, if I come here again, I will choose this!

Please note how my chocolate milkshake is being eyed out in the one photo!!! :))

Restaurant Name: Lake Bistro

This restaurant is under a permanent canopy, on the bank of the lake where the jetskiing and paragliding and skiing takes place.

It has beautiful views across the lake and the surrounding area, is relaxed and informal.

What I really loved, and I miss this about South Africa... is how one waitress came up to our little niece and, smiling broadly, asked her if she'd like to help her feed the fish?

What two year old would say no to this!!!???

So the waitress lifted her up and spent about 10 minuts with her, chatting to her and feeding the fish in the lake. Cayla loved it!

Yes, the restaurant wasnt really busy at this time, so she had time to spare, but this was a lovely spontaneous gesture that I thought was rather nice!

Favorite Dish: We had desserts and drinks here, we never ate as we werent hungry, but what we did have was well presented, and staff were friendly and cheerful and fast.

The thing is, in a 5 star resort like this, the staff have to be top-notch in their service as they are dealing with tourists/locals etc. that are spending a certain amount of money here at the resort.
