THE COURTYARD CAFE — Restaurant in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

Terrible experience.

Firstly, the waiter did not know how to do his job - Taking our orders and then sending someone back to either inform us that the specials he told us about are not running anymore or to again ask what we ordered. Many times someone had to get up to call the waiter who was standing around inside while we were seated and waiting for service outside.

Then, we saw two rats running through the place in a matter of an hour. If I saw this before we ate I would not have ordered food.

Lastly, the men's toilets were awful. The toilet in the cubicle was used and not flushed and the cribs stank and had no deodorizer.

I will...

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE! Located in the middle of Stellenbosch. Next to all the tourism shops! Definitely where locals and tourist comes. BRILLIANT food and staff is amazing! You know that best meal ever? It's here! Crazy specials and deals everyweek, all throughout the week! Right behind / next to Checkers. Live music, trivia nights. Cosy vibe. Indoor and outdoor space! Crazy craft beer selection! Updated weekly! Breakfast and Lunch served! Both is amazing! Good for a quick pop in but also good for spending several hours here! MUST ADD...

Great vibe, live music and awesome authentic, local Craft Beers for the beer enthusiast! Rustic decor and open seating with a bar for a really relaxed - yet upbeat environment. The non smoking and smoking section isn't cordoned off but the open air (heavy duty canvas overhead though! The rain won't spoil an evening out) makes for a very nice atmosphere. Also, the Chilli Poppers are a winner! Ask for extra cream sauce if you like that with your poppers, but then again maybe I just ate...
