Readers Restaurant
Readers Restaurant is an institution in Tulbagh, and on balmy Summer nights there is nowhere else you would want to be than on Readers’ small veranda enjoying a glass of wine, watching the passers by strolling in the street.
Housed in the oldest building in Tulbagh’s Church Street, and offering good local and international cuisine with an African twist. Carol’s quirky Restaurant menu changes seasonally according to what is freshest and in season. Her ostrich with Amarula berry sauce followed by a medley of homemade ice creams is a must.
