I visited Kasteelberg this weekend with a group of friends, as we went on a breakfast run with our bikes. This was my first time at Kasteelberg and I have to say, never again! We arrived there to be told that the garden area is closed, so we couldn't even enjoy the sunshine (it was glorious weather). We were then told that they have no draught beers available. We settled on normal beers. When we wanted to place our order, we chose our selection from the lunch menu (which states "only available on Sundays"). We were then told that we could not order from that menu, as this in only served in the garden area, which was closed. We finished our beers and went to a different restaurant just down the road, way better! This was a horrible experience and I will never recommend anyone to go to Kasteelberg!

Disgusted with Kasteelberg, the service was good but that's as far as it went. We were a party of four, ordered our starters and were enjoying a bottle of Springfield sauvignon blanc. Once the main arrived "slow roasted pork belly" three individuals were not pleased with the meal and we requested that the chef has a look and that we were willing to choose a different meal from the menu, but instead we were given the bill and asked to leave, the one indvidual who was happy with the meal; their meal was taken away. One of the members of our party is a 5 star chef, previously working at Buitenverwachting and Aubergine in Cape Town. Yet the manager tried to justify poor food with a history lesson on what pork belly is, certainly was not slow roasted or beer soaked, not to mention the ridiculous amount of fat! The reason the pork belly was that fatty was not because that's pork belly, but because the cut comes from, in nicer words, a "mature" pig.

Bad! Was there on Saturday evening with friends and evreyone's food was absolutely terrible!

In one word -  fantastic! The background music was just out of this world. The seafood samoosas were amazing, the Kingklip was fresh, excellent and perfectly cooked. Then came the white chocolate cheescake - man, this is heaven! Thanks to Julien and Alan for making our anniversary meal so special! One can taste the absolute passion in the food!

Great place, great food especially the pork belly which is the best I ever had. An undiscovered gem.
