Le Chalet — Restaurant in Overstrand Local Municipality

The restaurant is located on the upper floor of this lovely, well kept building and can seat only around 20 guests, so booking a table is absolutely necessary. We were welcomed by the owners, who are Marianne, Leo and their daughter Michi who took charge to spoil us from the moment we entered. The attention to detail begins with many little items: a large table and very comfortable chairs, beautiful setting, a home made Limoncello offered as a welcome drink, home made bread with heavenly red wine onion butter........ the birds on the balcony drinking from the feeder bottles....

The menu is small but very special: 4 appetizers, 4-5 main dishes and 4-5 desserts. Everyone of the dishes are awesome so we started with the feature home made Mozzarella with basil, tomatoes and olive oil - a must try appetizer! We further had the crayfish cocktail - served in a not standard version - try it, you will agree! The fresh mussels as a next dish and the ox cheeks were again an experience as living in heaven. There is a small but excellent wine selection to choose from and we tried several of them which matched the chef Leo"s recommendation. By the way, the chef will come personally to the table and explain all the signature dishes and answers any questions you may have. Then comes dessert, full belly already, because the portions are not small, but the irresistible dessert selection , which consisted of ginger and lavender ice cream and Creme Brulee and Panna Cotta and Melon sorbet and hazelnut crokant ice cream . All that served on a beautiful plate decorated in a professional manner.

I think Fisherhaven and surrounding have gained a superb restaurant with a great view and a lovely family to spoil you for your special lunch or dining experience. We...

We were recommended to visit Me Chalet almost 4 years ago. Finally made it there!! Sat out on the terrace with a beautiful view and sunset. Serenaded by the birds attracted to the 2 feeders. Very clever idea. Warm greeting by the chef himself and given complimentary homemade limoncello that is the best limoncello ever. The chef explains the menu and techniques personally to each table making the experience that much more intimate. I won't go into the food quality because my words wouldn't do it justice. All I will say is that it must experienced to be understood. We will be returning. Only thing that I feel could be improved upon is the wine selection. We enjoyed what we had but I know from experience there is better quality and more reasonably priced wines from local estates. That's just my taste though so won't be minusing any points for it.

Spectacular experience worth the Rands. Our head spend was R900 each but that did include 2 karafes and 2...

One of the Western Cape's best-kept secrets, this is truly a must-visit destination. Nestled within someone's home, the cuisine embodies the essence of home-cooked meals elevated to an art form. We had the pleasure of tasting the Mozzarella and Tomatoes, oxtail cheeks, and Springbok and Ostrich carpaccio—each dish a testament to precision and craftsmanship. The oxtail cheeks were so exquisitely tender that they practically melted at the touch of a fork. To conclude, the Blueberry Tiramisu was an unexpected revelation, leaving us utterly captivated. A culinary experience not...
