"RESTAURANT I LOVE… Patat Restaurant
Under the shade of the 190 year old pepper tree, on the grounds of Swartberg Country Manor, you will find a little taste of heaven. A small restaurant with a big heart. Chef Pierre Basson treated us to such magnificence that if I hadn't left after two days, I would have rolled all the way home.
The restaurant has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and a 180 degree view of the Swartberg Mountains. We were treated to a full moon rising, exceptional service and truly decadent, wholesome food. What a treat!
As my new keto life directed, no sugar and no gluten allowed. I had completed my dietary requirements a few days before I arrived… without having seen the ridiculous deliciousness on offer. I was also traveling with a vegetarian - apologies chef!
Pierre prepared the most delicious gluten, sugar free and vegetarian food this side of the Southern Hemisphere… and then I crumbled and ate the chocolate brownie too! I have lived with chefs and I know that this is just not what you do! If you order the special stuff, don’t eat the “normal” stuff! But I caved and I loved it and Pierre was just delightful and took it all in his stride.
From the ostrich carpaccio to the karoo lamb chops and green fig creme brulee, everything was world class and simply delicious! The baked goods and the fresh (straight from the garden) produce was a highlight and left me definitely wanting more. Thank goodness we still had breakfast and a picnic lined up for the next day. It was all utterly delectable. Thank you Pierre and Patat, that was an incredible experience!"
