Camissa Farm Guidebook
Food scene
This is a short list of some of my favourite restaurants. I love to cook and eat, in fact you could say that food is a minor obsession in our family. On the whole we prefer fun places that keep it real, where the food is great but you don’t get a 10 minute explanation of each course before you get a bite!
My absolute favourite restaurant, from the charming setting in a pretty square in central Stellies, to the lovely hosts and friendly staff and of course, the mouth watering authentic Japanese food.

This is a good choice when you are in the mood for a juicy steak or sometimes just for a cocktail on the stoep. They have a lovely garden at the back which is perfect for summer. Please be aware though that the meat is not free range it is from a feedlot which is a pity but true of most of the restaurants in Stellies.
