Very sad day at Voorstrandt Restaurant, Paternoster We loved Voorstrandt Restaurant in the beautiful Paternoster, when coming to the west coast who is so renowned for their hospitality, we make sure to make a reservation at Voorstrandt Restaurant. Until today 22 March 2015. We went for dinner the previous night, had delicious mains and the waiter suggested we have the sticky toffee pudding for dessert but rather decided to come back for it the next day. So we went there over lunch, the following day and as we placed our order with the waitress, the owner Adriaan comes to just make sure if we wanted dessert and drinks, first we thought he was just checking the order that was placed, but that was not the case. He told us that it is lunch time and that there are people waiting to be served and that it is no problem for him if we come for dessert after lunch time but NOT NOW, and asked us to get up and leave - My jaw dropped on the floor. We have never been so humiliated and embarrassed in our lives!!!!!!! How can this be??? How can a restaurant owner decide for you what you would like to have for lunch and what not, who does he think he is. Adriaan the owner of Voorstrandt Restaurant does not fit in with the West Coast Hospitality. For us that comes from the bustling Gauteng province we're use to rude and inconsiderate restaurant service but have never imagined we would experience that here. Needless to say as much as we loved the restaurant, we will never ever ever go back there. This was ultimately the worst dining experience of our lives.
