Montecello

First off, the outside looks great and mirrors what you would expect on the inside. It is cozy and warm. The staff is very quick and friendly. The portions are massive! This means you actually get what you pay for. My plate was so full there wasn't space left for any extras. This restaurant definitely deserves a 5 star! Would definitely recommend when in Sedgefield or when passing through Sedgefield. Amazing experience.

Monticello’s Restaurant Sedgefield is on the opposite side of the Spar on the highway. A restaurant well signed on the roof out but deceiving from the outside as rather large inside. The Restaurant as a guess will sit around 200 people inside making it a good place to hold events in winter and summer. Many restaurants on the garden route work on a 50% inside and 50% outside sitting arrangement where this is 100% inside. 70% is in the main building and 30% is on the deck with full pull-down covers to ensure protection from heat, wind, or rain. I can imagine it can be rolled up on a hot day and opened as an outdoor section if desired. The magnificent ambiance and we planned a party for 14 people. It was well organized, and the Owner Anita was always prompt with my WhatsApp arrangements. There is a full bar with anything from beers, ciders, spirits, cocktails, and Don Pedro’s. There is plenty of parking outside and it is wheelchair / elderly-friendly. Not ideal for young children but maybe for teenagers and above. The food varies; however, we selected a larger group and a smaller menu. The majority went for the Sea Food paella which was good (but I have been spoilt by real Spanish Paellas – I would rate this 70% as good). The real specialty is beef espetada which came in a small size with chips and a large size with chips and a Portuguese roll. They were drizzled with garlic butter and a few people claimed it was the best Espetada they have ever eaten. I tried a piece, and it was magnificent. There are starts and desserts, however, their positions as quite large so leave space for the main meal. I only had space for a Paella and a Don Pedro with Frangelico(which was not the best one I have had – rated average) On the whole it was a magnificent experience – with fantastic service. I would highly recommend this restaurant
