The Milestone - Swellendam

On the way back from Plett, I recently stopped with Sian and Kerry, and had a pretty good lunch in Swellendam at a little bistro called The Milestone.

Having previously tried to find something to chow on, in the middle of a trip between Cape Town and the Garden Route, it was great to find somewhere dedicated to a nice meal, and not attached to a B&B or expensive lodge.

The garden was lovely and cool, the service was excellent and the food was good. Prices were Cape Town-esque (i.e. a bit pricey), but considering what's normally on offer on the road (Wimpy's, etc.) it was really great to have access to good bistro style food.

A final special touch was getting the bill in a wind up ballerina music box, a small indication of the attention to detail and pleasant surprises you'll find at The Milestone in Swellendam.

The restaurant can be found on the main street (Voortrekker street) in Swellendam, opposite The Handy Shop.

This seems like a nice place to have a meal at.I especially like the fact, that it is not attached to a guesthouse or B&B.Those always tend to follow the same trend in terms of what they are serving.And even though it sounds like they are a bit expensive, I would still consider it, if the quality of the food is as good as it sounds.Like the wind up ballerina music box, classic.

Thanks for this info as it was great having a meal at The Milestone in Swellendam. The reception, service and food was brilliant. Havent had a meal worth its value for quite a while as some places tend to charge market related prices but its not value for money. Thanks Milestone for a lovely lunch...next time we in the area we will definately stop in again.....your dinner menu looks fab....thanks to the owners being so hands on as I am sure that is one of the many reasons why your places is such a success....
