The Backyard Cafè

In Bergvliet there is a little garden, and in this little garden is a little breakfast and light meals spot know as The Backyard Cafè.

As you pass through the front doors your eyes are drawn to all the vintage antique furniture on sale. Claire already had a few items pointed out for our own place. More furniture for her cat to destroy. Anyway by now we had found ourselves in the busy back garden. Scattered tables and chairs provide the homely relaxed feeling, as if you were sitting in your own garden. Breakfast and lunch menus supply to all stomachs, in a healthy and tasty way. Lekker origin coffee and some delicious fresh juices that are a definite. An overall pleasant and very happy vibe. That we will definitely be going to again.

La Belle

Wow! This place really has it all. A beautiful setting that has you staring off into the trees above you, a menu that suits anyone; especially your stomach, a patisserie/deli counter that will have you drooling in front of everyone, a very well put together wine list and even a selection of fresh smoothies for those extra hot days we've been having.

We’ve been there a couple of times now and it never disappoints. Located at the Alphen Spa in Constantia and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It doesn't have a large menu that you get lost in but you will be definitely questioning each dish as you try to make a decision -and even if you take a chance at something you won’t be disappointed. Their blueberry flapjacks are a must, they leave a taste in your mouth that you never want to go away. Their fillet is always cooked to perfection and finished off with a lovely béarnaise. The pork belly is one that even Babe would give a prize to. A salted caramel tart that will literally make you wish you could regurgitate it back up again so you can savour its flavours again.

Yes this a spending place, but well worth a try.
