Potjie Restaurant

About Potjie Restaurant

Potjie Restaurant celebrates South African hospitality, delectable local cuisine, and the utter beauty of Langebaan, its gracious host. This West Coast town is renowned for its aesthetic beauty, which is best enjoyed in the form of the Langebaan Lagoon or the local reserves, where fauna and flora abound. It is only about 1.5 hours’ drive from Cape Town.

This restaurant makes the most of its beautiful surrounds on the West Coast, and is proud to be named after an important part of South African heritage, as ‘potjie’ is the name used for the traditional local stew that has stood the test of time and been the local dish of choice for many generations.

The menu ranges from real boerekos (traditional Afrikaans-style cooking and dishes), to easy pub-style lunches, and real treats for the dining enthusiast. Favourites include grilled prawns and savoury rice, rump espetada with chips, grilled T-bone steak, mature steak topped with creamy peri-peri chicken livers, and sticky spare ribs. Each dish is prepared while you wait, with fresh, tasty ingredients. There are also some desserts to tempt even the most resolute of dieters. The best way to enjoy these dishes is while drinking in the stunning views of the Langebaan Lagoon and the crisp, clear air of the South African sunshine.

The restaurant is open every day, and is fantastic for tourists indulging in awesome sight-seeing in Langebaan, as well as for locals that know a good meal and a great vibe.
