Foodbarn

Top choice in Simon's Town & Southern Peninsula


Expect rustic, delicious bistro dishes with suggested wine pairings at master chef Franck Dangereux's restaurant in the relaxed surrounds of Noordhoek Farm Village. The separate, book-lined deli-bakery-cafe (mains R35 to R145) and tapas bar (6pm to 9pm Tuesday to Saturday; small plates R50) is just as good, and stocks its freshly baked goodies and other locally sourced food and drinks.

The cafe is open 8am to 4.30pm daily; the deli 8am to 9pm Tuesday to Saturday, and until 5pm Sunday and Monday.
