We often take guests to this restaurant and every time we have had positive feedback about the restaurant. The service is good, food is lovely and the setting is beautiful (Victorian style). It is especially lovely on a summers day; enjoy a glass of wine, beautiful surrounding and lovely food. We would definitely recommend them to foreign travelers and locals. More

I took 5 clients to Kalinka for dinner and what an amazing experience!! The food, service, decor... all of it! I studied Hotel Management and here they did everything according to expectations and standards. Ryvona was our waiter and knew exactly what to do when and how. All the other staff members that assisted, were also great and friendly too.... More

my wife and i visited Kalinka Restaurant during our last trip to SA about 5 years ago and wanted to go again as we had so much good memories about the place. Even after that time we were not disappointed and impressed by their service, food quality and friendliness. Who ever visits Oudtshoorn should schedule a dinner at that place.... More

The service is really great and the food is top notch: We had ostrich filet, beete salad and potatoe gratin - fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the meat is of extraordinary good quality and is nicely presented. The prices are okay, more expensive than other restaurants in that area but the food... More

The restaurnat decor is simple, clean and striking. It has a pretty garden and porch outside with tables too. The menu has typical international items on it, but mostly with regional flair, adding ostrich, springbok, rooibos etc. Excellent service. The waiters are well informed about the menu and the wine list. The only criticism is that some items seemed to... More
