Wolfgat

We came for lunch, and we thoroughly impressed. Located on the beach at Patternoster, the setting was perfect. They deliver I think 7/8 courses and the wine pairing matches well. The gist of the menu is using the sea’s leftovers to create unique dishes. Everything is sourced locally. The idea is fun and cool. The food wasn’t a tasty as some restaurants, but it’s more about the idea and concept. If you don’t like seafood, definitely not for you.

it was interesting experience for all of us and for me it was first time when you don’t order with menu you just it what they cook according their mood that day. Here you can see how food can be an art 🖼️ atmosphere is magnificent and we spoke with chef 🧑‍🍳 differently I recommend this place as special one 🍾

Definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever visited. Outstanding food with special local products. Every course was carefully designed and incorporated the local environment. Highly recommend to go here. We drove here from Cape Town to have lunch and it was well worth the traveling.

Really amazing story told with local food and wine, exceptionally curated menu and an amazing understanding of local wine and food sources. Great view and atmosphere with really good knowledgable service!

Impossible to capture this hidden gem. A small restaurant, with a set multi-course menu. All local fish and vegs. I don't eat seafood, and they accommodated me beautifully. It's an experience, not a quick visit for fish 'n chips. I cannot fault anything. Their attitude and training is just superb. We chose the wine pairing, not something we'd usually do. Treat yourself, you won't be disappointed. Chef Kobus Van der Merwe, thank you 😊

While the food presentation was absolutely beautiful, each course only had two mouthfuls, with a half hour wait between each course. Only one or two dishes really stood out. We dropped a fortune and drove for hours. I will not be doing it again. Fewer courses with more mouthfuls would have been an improvement. The music was unnecessarily loud when you have waves crashing nearby. Respect to the team for what they do but this hugely technical sample menu phase is on it’s way out and I hope Wolfgat is considering changing it’s game. If you’ve got cash to burn, it’s an experience in a beautiful location but have a hearty breakfast.

So, we finally made it to Wolfgat after ages of wanting to go, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Forget the usual glitzy, over-the-top fine dining spots; this place is all about authentic, rustic vibes. The staff? Super friendly and so knowledgeable—like, they actually take the time to walk you through each dish so you get what’s going on. But the real star here is the chef. The guy is a humble genius! You can tell he lives and breathes this stuff; he talks about each dish with so much passion that you can’t help but get excited about what you’re about to eat. As for the food itself, oh man, it was next level. We had a 7-course meal and it was mostly seafood. Didn’t see that coming, but wow, was it delicious. Can’t remember all the fancy names, but who cares when the food tastes this good, right? Yeah, it’s a bit on the expensive side for us ordinary South Africans but trust me, it’s worth every single cent. This is one of those experiences that’s going to stick with me for a long time

I recently dined at Wolfgat, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. The team's passion for their craft was evident in every aspect of my visit. From the moment I walked in, I could sense their dedication to creating a unique dining experience centered around sustainable and locally sourced ingredients from the sea. The menu was a delightful exploration of flavors from the ocean, with each dish showcasing the team's creativity and expertise. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was truly impressive. I particularly enjoyed how they incorporated foraged ingredients into the dishes, adding a fresh and unexpected twist to classic seafood offerings. What stood out even more than the delicious food was the staff's enthusiasm. They were not only knowledgeable about the dishes they were serving, but they also shared stories about the ingredients' origins and the importance of responsible sourcing. It was evident that they genuinely cared about providing an educational and satisfying dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a relaxed yet refined atmosphere that complemented the culinary journey perfectly. The decor and design seemed to echo the restaurant's commitment to nature and sustainability. Overall, my visit to the sea foraged restaurant left a lasting impression. The passionate team's dedication to their craft, combined with the delectable dishes they prepared, made for a memorable and meaningful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking not only exceptional seafood but also a dining adventure that celebrates the sea in a responsible and flavorful way.
