Die Plaaskombuis

I have been to this place on numerous occasions and always have a good experience. It is not too far from Hermanus and the only negative aspect is the road works taking place. However, the delay at the road works is minimal and will not spoil the trip or outing in any way. I strongly recommend this establishment.

Popped in for lunch.. And desperately needed some food to soak up the wine from all the tastings up the road. Had a fantastic toasted chicken mayo with delicious chips. The sandwich said it came with pepper dews and avo. The peppadews were inside amongst the chicken mayo but the avo was out of stock. We were offered some cheese instead which came in a little bowl. Hmmm.. Why not put it in the sarmie and toast that too? Made me wonder if the avo came in the self same little bowl.. Odd.. Service was great. Will be back. Came back. Wanted another toasted chicken sarmie, but it was a Sunday. No can do, said Anna, our waitress. They're cooking Sunday roast. Saw a few as we were being seated. Didn't look that appetizing, so went for a cheeseburger. It was pretty good. Loved the roosterkoek roll at the start, but by the end of the burger it was just a bit too heavy, what with all those delicious chips too. My wife had the steak pie which to be honest, lacked spices and could have done with a quarter of the salt that was in there. Ease up on the salt chef, we can always add more if we like... See you soon

The Plaaskombuis is open on a Monday which was a pleasant surprise, as they seemed to be the only restaurant open in the area. A large dining room serving home style traditional fare, a quirky shop selling all sorts of goodies, and a small plant nursery make this a pleasant stop. The service from our attentive and friendly waiter was exemplary. We even knitted a few rows as there are knitting needles and wool on some of the tables. Makes a change from sitting on our phones while waiting for the order!
