I have supported Schoon Bakery and Resaurants sinced they opened many years ago as they bake the most amazing sourdough breads. I was extremely dissapointed in the service on Wednesday 22 March 2022 during our breakfast at Schoon Restaurant in Stellenbosch. Apart from the food taking very long (only 2 tables were occupied) I discovered meat sausage ( I ordered xtra fried mushrooms) in my vegan meal. My food was topped with salad and a lot of sauce and I think the staff thought that I would not pick this up. I had to spit out my food as I immediately realized that there was sausage in my food. I immediately called the waiter. My husband ordered sausage as he does not eat pork. It looked like I got 2 mushrooms and parts of sausage that was prepared for my husband in my vegan food. Normally if I ordered xtra mushrooms I would get a seperate portion. What is further very dissapointing was that I communicated the event with the owner and got no response. I will defnately not be eating at Schoon Restaurants ever again especially if this is the mindset...

Read moreWe were quite disappointed with the service we received early yesterday morning. The restaurant wasn’t busy when we arrived, and it remained that way when I left, leaving my partner to stay behind for his meeting. Despite this, the waitress repeatedly ignored his attempts to get her attention. She assisted tables next to and behind him but never came to our table. When it was finally time to pay, he had to wait an unreasonably long time to get the bill. It seemed like she wasn’t interested in her job at all. Also, the fireplace needs fixing!
This was my second visit to this restaurant, but after this experience, I’ll be choosing a different spot next time. Really disappointing. Pity because I really enjoy your...
