Txoko Brewing — Restaurant in Baskerville

Stopped by for lunch while we were visiting Swan Valley. Wasn't thinking about food too much because I just had lunch an hour prior, so I started with a pint of beer, but when I saw the pizza at the neighbouring table I had to order one. The choice was Bee's Knees, which is one of my favourite pizzas of all time - heat & honey, a poetic combination. If you have a pizza joint and don't have a pizza like this on your menu, I don't know what you're doing with your life.

When the pizza came to the table and I had my first bite, I LITERALLY couldn't believe how good it was. The dough was fantastic, something that you rarely see perfected to the dot by pizzerias. This was like something straight out of Naples. Words truly can't describe how good it is.

On the other hand, the service was top-notch. I didn't ask, but I had a feeling that it was a family-run business, which gives me so much joy to see and support. Everything was tightly knit and sailing smoothly.

Wish I had Txoko closer, but I'd travel to WA just for this (and wine of course). Such a...

We have been meaning to try Txoko for awhile and went there on the weekend. Really nice setting and the kids loved it, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to return. Beers weren't bad and the bar tender was really knowledgeable, but I didn't feel the urge to buy any takeaways. Kids meals were really generous, no complaints. Had the grilled snapper, not bad but nothing to set it apart from what I could cook at home. Grain salad was at best average. I'm not vegetarian but have had salads at another brewery which knocked it out of the park. This one was really bland, a lot of healthy ingredients thrown together in a bowl and no real flavour. I hate to nit pick but there was one small patch of lawn in the dining area and it was overgrown by a couple of weeks. It's a 5min job to mow/snip and show that you care about your place. I hate to write an average review as I'm all for upcoming places, but I hope some honest feedback might help Txoko. There's definitely potential but a few tweaks required to reach the level of some of the competition....

YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE! This is a hidden gem in the Swan Valley. I just had the best ever beef curry with fluffy rice and paratha style bread. This wasn’t a meal, it was an experience I wont forget in a hurry. Did someone mention pork ribs, yum and then there is their selection of the most amazing craft beers, brewed on the premises of course. My only regret was not tasting the coffee infused stout beer that was launched today. Their wines are awesome and I noticed the beer tasting paddle was very popular so I will put that on my list for next time. I noticed the wood fired oven being lit, so I can only assume their wood fired pizzas are authentic, cant wait to try them. I almost forgot. If you are a biltong freak like me, then grab a bowl of their home made bestseller stuff, that is, in my opinion, the perfect accompaniment with a cold...
