Follow the giant strawberry

I'm going to let you in on a huge secret because it's just far too good to keep all to ourselves. If you ever find yourself peckish in a Saturday afternoon and you want to treat your taste buds you want to listen closely now...

Mooiberge Farm Stall is famous for the huge strawberry and brightly coloured animals and scarecrows they have in their strawberry patches (as well as the best strawberries). BUT their new treasure has to be The Farmers Kitchen. This little cafe/restaurant is a real hidden gem which you so often miss as you speed along the R44 between Somerset West and Stellenbosch.

The menu includes a number of very unique dishes, many of which include strawberries and they have some very decedent baked goodies - the chocolate brownies are to die for!! We'd recommend you don't sit next the cake shelf because the smell is absolutely intoxicating -this lead to us buying half the tray on our first visit.

The menu is full of amazing treats; our personal favourite is off the lunch menu - Bobotie Tartlets. This traditional South African dish is topped off with a softly poached egg and the combination is amazing!

Another perk to this trip is if you go over the weekend you can pop into the amazing Root 44 market and wander around for hours.
