Meeurots Restaurant

Bad service, only one waiter. Food all wrong. Fish was not good and chips old. 3 of us got wrong food. Bill was also incorrect.... Not to be recommended at all!

We enjoyed a nice dinner with wine and seafood. Nice and cosy, protected from wind and weather, situated in the centre of Yzerfontein

. Supper had been reserved at Meeurots Restaurant in the center of the village. Situated upstairs it afforded diners on the balcony a view of some of the original, older homes and a sea view. We enjoyed the walk from the caravan park and arrived just as the restaurant was filling up. After a brief chat to the owner/manager we ordered our meals from a very predictable South African restaurant. We often enjoy something we don’t generally prepare ourselves and when we dine out we enjoy something unique or something to tease our palates. I am not sure of our options I seem to recall I had the crispy calamari heads and Butch fish again. For starters we did order a Greek Salad which arrived with our meal. This often happens as kitchens aren’t accustomed to diners having a Salad for starters I assume. We do and we’re always surprised by it! We did not have desserts. The meal was good, on a “clean” plate without much fuss. I am sure the majority of regular clients dine there precisely because they know exactly what to expect. Service was a tad slow. We enjoyed our walk home.

We have visited a couple of times this week. Great steaks, lovely fish and they made me gluten free versions. The owner is a lovely guy, very attentive and obliging. We thought the local house Sav Blanc was delicious and inexpensive. We hope to visit again before we move on.

Waiter was unsure as to what their linefish was then convinced me to try the swordfish. Returned 20 minutes later to advise that it was finished 3 days ago. I then opted for Hake. In the interim he brought our bottle of wine, a Grootenpos Sauvignon which was great had he not just dropped it off at the table, without opening or offering a taste, just dropped it and left it to us to open and pour. Another 20 minutes later and the Hake arived, looking a funny colour of green. My wife, the better cook of us two considered it not properly defrosted, I found it tasteless, rubbery and returned the major portion. Her observance that they had no stock and quickly went down to the local Spar below to acquire a portion is more likely to be correct. We earlier enquired regarding desert and was advised that they served Malva pudding and expressed interest. Considering that we will try this to salvage a terrible evening we again called the waiter. He promptly came past and dropped the bill. Alas, what more can we say, we will not return and now regret not having returned the fish outright.Just for in case you want to enjoy some fish in Yzer.

Willie the owner is always there to meet you.Friendly and welcomes you to Meeurots.Unlike other restauranteur'sDankie Willie,ons kom weer terug!

Meals average, waiter does get 5 stars for bringing all the meals out together as we were a large table.

Very nice experience. Excellent food and good wine. The owner makes the food himself, and check to see whether everything is up to standard and according to your taste.

Very friendly owner that greeted us on arrival and made recommendations on wine. Good service and good food

We tried this restaurant following a recommendation but we were disappointed. The noise levels were very high possibly due to the high ceilings. The menu seemed comprehensive but the quality was not so good. Mussels in garlic sauce - the garlic was chunky hard and raw. Not a pleasant taste. The salad was a huge bowl of lettuce mainly. The order was prepared wrong so the salad came before the grilled chicken breast. Then the breast was coated in something. Steaks were not the nicest we have had in South Africa. They had run out of draught beer. Disappointing
