THEY hug Kouga’s shores . . . small havens emanating aromas, meshing flavours and dishing up world-class dishes.
It is virtually impossible to choose from the vast array, Jeffreys Bay, Aston Bay and St Francis Bay, as well as inland towns like Humansdorp, Hankey and Patensie.
At the ocean, fresh seafood can always be found – feet in the sand, waves breaking nearby – at Die Walskipper and Tapas Lapa Seaside Restaurant in Aston Bay. In Jeffreys Bay, De Viswijf offers a superb view and refined dishes, with the Catch of the Day meting out fresh fish every day.
Vismandjie is a family favourite and Oriental Cuisine zaps out great sushi. St Francis Bay has Chokka Block Restaurant with scrumptious calamari, Christy’s Catch and Quayside.
Top eateries here are Mauro’s Restaurant, Cafe Bijoux, Big Time Taverna, Joe Fish, Full Stop Cafe and Pommes Frites Gastro-pub.
In Humansdorp Le Chameleon is a haven where time stands still, and visitors are pampered with food and exquisite surroundings. Don’t forget about Grill and Company, Die Hoekhuis, Boplaas Padstal, and @ Tuis’t Plaaskombuis.
Fine dine at the excellent Jeffreys Bay spots: Kitchen Windows, The Greek or any of InFood’s foursome. Run into an international surfer while supping with the family at town favourite Nina’s Real Food. Have a micro-brew at Brewhaha with good nosh or visit the night away at The Mexican.
Take the kids to Wild Fig Farm’s petting zoo.
Grab a breakfast at Tasty Table, 9 Oosterland and African Perfection in Supertubes’ Pepperstreet, or travel back to yesteryear at Gisters. Also enjoy a meal at the 60s Diner.
Padlangs, Suikerbossie, Tolbos, Ripple Hill Hotel and Local is Lekker ask for a bit of a day-trip to the Gamtoos Valley. Kouga also sports the regulars, like Spur, Wimpy, Steers, Fishaways, Debonairs, McDonald’s and KFC.
