About Paddagang Restaurant

In the heart of Tulbagh's historic town, food enthusiasts will delight in this uniquely named restaurant, where traditional Boland cuisine and exquisite local beverages have been offered since 1821, within one of Tulbagh’s oldest structures.

At Paddagang, diners can savor delectable examples of premier Cape Dutch and Cape Malay cooking, including freshly baked bread, Bobotie (a spiced minced meat dish topped with savory custard) served with turmeric rice and fresh vegetables, and the renowned Waterblommetjiebredie (seasonal), a lamb and water hawthorn stew.

Paddagang also features local favorites such as homemade Samoosas and Wraps, as well as the finest Gourmet Steaks in town, accompanied by a variety of homemade desserts, with Malva Pudding leading the lineup. Vegetarians are well-catered for, and vegans can enjoy personalized dishes crafted to their preferences.

Legend has it that in the past, during mating season, the frogs from the restaurant gardens would hop down a path past this building to reach the river at the bottom of the property. This is how the restaurant got its name, which translates to "frog’s passage" or "frogs' way."

The setting is captivating, with Paddagang situated on Tulbagh’s charming Church Street, home to 28 national monuments. Paddagang is also perfect for weddings, live music events on its expansive lawns, and corporate meetings and team-building activities.

While visiting, be sure to sample some of our exceptional wines. We proudly support the wines of the Tulbagh Valley, along with local beers and fruit juices. Wine off-sales are available, so you can take home a case or two.

We welcome children and animals!
