Food Scene

Best Bistro in the Western Cape in the Eat Out Awards! Ryan and Aimee created a warm and friendly atmosphere with food every bit as good as the awards suggest. Vegetarians were cooked for with the same flair and quality as all other guests. Sadly Aimee died in a car accident in January 2018 and Ryan closed for a few months; but as of May, Ryan has begun to open on Fridays and Saturdays with a Fixed price set menu and wine pairing for a maximum of 22 people.

Lovely traditional building with stylish decor, friendly ambience, and great views from the stoep as the sun goes down whilst you listen to John playing the grand piano. Open Friday and Saturday nights.

We are pizza lovers and these award-winning guys make the best we have ever had in their restaurant up in the hills just outside McGregor. The menu extends to much more than pizza, though. And the setting is simply stunning. Best to ring ahead if you want lunch or dinner.

If you're up to it, hike to Greyton - about 6 hours - but you will need to fix a lift back as it's over 100 ks by road! Or just go as far as the 3 beautiful cascading waterfall pools (2 hours each way) and have a swim and maybe take your breakfast before setting off back. Permits from Tourism Office in McGregor.

Not only does Tanagra make lovely wine, they also distill traditional grappa and eau de vie in various flavours. A tasting here is a rather broader experience than at most wineries.

In a very short time, Meg van Shaick and Steve Van have created a popular and engaging new food and music venue. The formula is simple - a limited choice of meals in the courtyard venue several nights a week, with regular music when Steve's wide range of fellow musicians come from far and wide to entertain McGregor. A great addition to he village! (It's not in the Czech Republic, by the way - you try to write a review for a place on airbnb if it's not pre-listed on their map!)
