I approached with caution .... fortunately it was a quiet day and the gate attendant allowed me to check the restaurant and menu before paying the entrance fee for my family - the entrance fee is for the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden (one of the loveliest that I have visited and very well worth the R25 fee). We had the option to eat elsewhere but chose to expect a lesser meal for the pleasure of eating in and then walking around the garden.
Ordering just basic breakfast dishes, we were all surprised at the very good value. Nothing spectacular, no fancy garnishing, not excessively generous portions, no vibrant staff or management ..... just good ol' down-to-earth and entirely ample portions of good food on a plate .... the milkshakes were double thick already.
.... and then we had a lovely walk through the gardens....
Sweet spot in Harold Porter to have something light and simple after a stroll in the delightful gardens or hiking Leopards trail. They don't cope with the pressure of being busy so well but who cares with the beautiful setting and mountains. Not a place to be rushed anyway. And go inside for a yummy ice cream cone to enjoy while you walk....
Had a very nice breakfast there. An omelet with cream cheese and cheddar was very soft and tasty. Nice atmosphere and quick order delivery.
