Since this family-run restaurant served its first mouth-watering roosterkoek over 21 years ago, it has been a favourite stop for tourists and locals alike. They also provide the perfect midway stopover between Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert on your way to explore the Swartberg Pass.

A Spread of Traditional SA Flavours:
The menu at Kobus se Gat offers a feast of traditional South African flavours. Choices include bobotie, potjiekos, ostrich fillet and their popular Braai Experience – not to mention their famous, freshly baked roosterkoek, served with a variety of fillings.

A setting that’s a feast for the eyes:
Set at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains, the restaurant offers patrons more than a feast for the tummy. Spectacular views come with every meal! Located about 40 km from Oudtshoorn and 32 km from Prince Albert, it’s the ideal stopover when driving the Swartberg Pass.
