This was recommended by our accommodation. Smack bang in the middle of town it’s a bright airy spacious kitchen. We did the afternoon class so we could eat an early supper. We made many different delicious dishes opting for the Karoo lamb which is a must try whilst in the area. My husband usually just the the veg prep guy made focaccia bread which turned out amazingly! I was impressed! It’s a really relaxed fun atmosphere and we had a lovely afternoon. You can buy wine by the glass/bottle to enjoy as you cook. We had the delicious rose.

We arrived on a busy night. Upon recommendation from the manager at our guest house, we decided to give the dog-friendly AND wheelchair-accessible Chefs Cafe a try. They were incredibly busy, but luckily we had already booked a table. However there was no one on hand to show us to our table The highlight for the evening was meeting Chef Kenton, who was in charge of making the gourmet pizzas - which were flying out of the clay oven! He took the time to explain to me exactly how he made the pizzas, and it's done so amazingly. However, I did not have the pizza. I had the steak. What made the steak special was their spekboom & pickled radish salsa. Spekboom is otherwise called “pork bush” and is indigenous to South Africa. The salsa was incredible - really absolutely delicious! So, if for no other reason, visit Chefs Cafe to try the spekboom and salsa alone! *Note: Apparently their gardens are also spectacular. We went at night, but we saw a few

We had a short getaway in Prince Albert and decided to book a dinner at the Chef's Cafe for our 2nd night, with a great expectation from the good reviews on the net. It was loadshedding time when we arrived. We ordered small pizza as a starter, which was great. Then we quite dissapointed on the main course, lamb sosatie. It was burnt and tough..I could not finished it as I was tired of chewing the tough lamb. Or maybe it was a mutton instead of lamb? Even the apricot also got burnt, my first thought maybe abit too much of reduction sauce that caused the burnt? The electricity was back on when we'd like to order the dessert, Tiramisu..and I was not quite sure the combination of cardamon onto it. To me, the cardamon took over the taste of how the tiramisu supposed to be. The waiter who served us (sorry I forgot her name) also need a bit of briefing as she was going to take my plate when I was still busy chewing my lamb without asking me. You can actually see from my fork and knife position that I have not finish eating.. she did apologize though. And she also asked if she could take our water glasses away while the water bottle still half full. Apart from the meal, the place is beautiful, we love it, its just this first time experience wasn't our luck.

Had a great meal here. Boerewors dim sum starters where a treat and pasta was top notch. The Lei Water Ale is worth a try. Lovely setting and friendly and attentive staff.
