The Pepper Tree @ Highgate Ostrich Farm

The food at Pepper Tree is world class. The chef has great attention to detail, and the presentation is impeccable. Go early to enjoy the views and relax with a glass of wine

The service let down the amazing food. We ordered a bottle of wine, and the waitress plonked down the ice bucket on the table, with the bottle of wine, and walked away. She didn't open the bottle, she didn't show us the bottle to ensure it was the correct one, and didn't offer us a taste etc etc!! The food was excellent, with an obviously very talented chef, and this restaurant is a hidden gem in the Karoo. It was a nightmare trying to get a booking, as apparently they don't take bookings???

In a quiet little town called Philadelphia you will find this gem. Well known among visitors and locals. Lovely food. Big portions and a nice vibe. Good value for money with friendly.service. A must visit when your there . From breakfast to lunch and lovely cakes you will not be disappointed.

We come here often and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed! Love the ostrich fillet, moist & cooked to perfection. Salads fresh & filling. Generous portions always served with a smile & attention to detail.

We were very keen to have lunch after our tour of the Highgate Ostrich Show Farm and we were not disappointed. The service is very good and the two ostrich dishes we had were exceptional (ostrich pita and ostrich bobotie spring rolls). It is well worth the visit.

The Pepper Tree is a great place to eat, with wonderful views over the city. Their specialty is, cooking or finishing off steaks and desserts to your requirements at the table. The staff are extremely attentive, all resplendent in their tuxedos, and are experts at preparing and flambeing the food, all of which adds to the experience. This restaurant has been described as a 'little pricey', and so it is. However, the food, the ambiance, and the extensive wine selection, make this place worth paying a little extra for that special occasion.

To be honest we weren’t expecting much of a restaurant located at an ostrich farm, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty, and very well priced. Service was friendly too

They provided us the best lunch we had on our Route 62 trip! Service was fantastic! Well done to the team!

This was my first Ostrich steak and it was delicious even though I asked for medium and received it slightly more done than then. The chips served with it were tasty as was the salad. Washed it all with a couple of cold drinks that went down a treat. Staff was friendly.

We arrived just as they were closing the kitchen but they very kindly kept open for us the food was excellent we both had ostrich and it was perfect done just as we had asked for and we enjoyed every mouthful!!
