Wonderful experience. We were there in December 2011, with the children, aged 6 and 14 years. There is a wonderful open garden and we sat looking out toward it. Especially fantastic, on those hot Karoo days. We went back recently, with friends and found the same quality and service, as before. They also present wonderful cooking courses for all and... More

The food was only average, service on the slow side and not much atmosphere More

Decent food and service but nothing out of the ordinary -- with the exception of dessert. We had hoped to eat at The Olive Tree but the eccentric and (allegedly) talented chef only opens when he feels like it and although he'd confirmed my reservation in advance, he decided not to open that night. So our innkeeper booked us in... More

We really enjoyed our whole dinner experience - from the great architecture and decor to the personlized attention we got! The meals were beautifully presented and the service good! The home baked bread was an absolute WINNER!!!!! More

I recently visited African Relish with a couple of friends after recommendation by a colleague of mine. The whole experience exceeded my best expectation by far! The most amazing food and the friendliness of the staff really made us feel welcome and at home. I would highly recommend African Relish to everyone seeking a taste of true Karoo! More

The opportunity to spend time with such an inspirational chef was fantastic! Add to that: an amazing host in Jeremy who patiently and genty shared his cooking expertise too,... More

Pudding was stodgey. As... More

African Relish used to be a delight with excellent quality food and superb service. There has been a change in management and it shows. The food is not quite there and the service varies from good to slapdash. It is still good but not quite the standard it was although the prices have remained the same! Examples: pudding choice of...

We had dinner at African Relish when the cookery courses weren't running, so there was a pervading sense of calm in the airy, open plan kitchen. The dining area is a nice space with plenty of room between tables and, of course, a view into the kitchen. Service was a little lacklustre though, and service lessons alongside cookery lessons wouldn't... More
