Situated on the magnificent Kurland Estate, with fantastic views of the mountains and countryside, we had a very pleasant lunch mid-week and will definitely return again and recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Booking necessary at weekends.

And that has nothing to do with the food! In this case, the hero is most definitely the location - and it is spectacular; surrounded by paddocks and polo fields with the mountains on the doorstep providing an equally spectacular backdrop. The restaurant itself is casual and relaxed - in a 'shabby-chic' kind of way - but definitely provides a... More

I went there when it was still quite new and I don't think all the kinks had been ironed out. Nevertheless, the setting is gorgeous - looking out over horse pastures - the food was good, the service pleasant and the design casually sophisticated. I was told by one of the members of our party that on busy days, the... More

This place had everything that we wanted.Great food, good wine, great service and a great feel to it. We went for both lunch and dinner and were cool during the day in a sheltered but outdoor setting, and warm by a roaring fire in the evening. The service was superb with the staff remembering our drinks orders and meals ,... More

Definitely the jewel of Plettenberg Bay, set on an immaculate polo estate at Kurland. Brilliant food, Glenda, Di & Peter have outdone themselves again... Salmon fishcakes a must. I can not think of a better way to spend the day with friends. Will be back

This quaint restaurant which is situated on a polo estate offers a small but delicious menu. It is personally run by one of the owners and is short of nothing! You can either come for a early brunch, an afternoon tea with a selection of home backed delites or an elegant candle lit dinner. The scenery and decor is outstanding,... More

We recently stayed at Kurland for the 5th time and usually dine in and around Plett and at the hotel-on occasion. This time we were warmly welcomed at Katarina's, amidst the roses and the glorious setting of the Old barn and the spectacular never ending equestrian fields!The warm casual laid back unpretentious welcome made us want to return again, and...

Katarinas restaurant is an unrivalled experience. The ambience is effortlessly glamourous, but extremly laid back, the view breathtaking , the food simply delicious and wondefully fresh. By night the fires and candles make it extremely romantic . No visitor to Plettenberg Bay should miss this restaurant.

I recently walked the delightful 50 metres from the Kurland Hotel to their new restaurant Katarina's. The rose-garden, the exquisite historic architecture, and knowing I was going to the old barn of the homestead had me in anticipation of something special in store. Nothing prepares one for the view from the barn's verandah - earth has nothing finer to please... More
