Owner's description

Wolfgat offers a unique Strandveld dining experience showcasing a selection of indigenous ingredients specific to their coastal location.

The menu is inspired by the weather and the surrounding landscape. The series of dishes presented - predominantly seafood based - is complemented by local seaweeds, seasonal veldkos, and pickings from their garden. Some elements on the tasting menu take weeks of preparation, while other ingredients are handpicked on the day for the exact number of bookings they receive.

They only book up to 20 diners per sitting - by keeping it small, they aim to keep it sustainable (and only take group bookings for a maximum of 8 diners).

    Without doubt one of the worlds most unique and truly special dining experiences😊Nothing I have experienced yet comes close to even a comparison. Can’t wait to visit again 🙌🏼
    It’s a great experience especially with the wine pairing from local wineries. Kobus takes time to explain the unique dishes and the wines that go with it. The view over the Paternoster beach is an added bonus
    Lunch experience of the year! Worth every cent AND the drive to Paternoster. Kobus is an incredibly talented chef and he has curated a dining experience at Wolfgat that is honest and authentic, sophisticated, yet unpretentious and totally unique. Every course was a work of art, interesting, beautiful to look at and utterly delicious. The 7-course menu is built around seafood (you see, smell, hear and taste the sea when you dine here), but ours also included a beautiful springbok course. It's an exciting culinary journey and one can't wait to see what the next, beautifully presented course will bring. Diners get to discover locally sourced ingredients that include strandsalie; his homemade strandveld vermouth; duinespinasie; kruipvygie; slangbessie; lemoenboegoe masala, kiesieblaar (all with botanical names listed too). The winelist is equally interesting, listing top quality, relatively unknown wines from the region - we loved the Cape Rock Asylum 2018, Carinus Chenin Blanc 2018, and Teubes Chenin Blanc 2017. This is a special restaurant and a highly recommended dining experience!
    True genius. No wonder why he was 2018 chef of the year. Delicate flavors using different ingredients and combinations tied perfectly together with passion for food and flavor.
    We absolutely LOVED our dining experience at Wolfgat. Unusual combinations that worked together beautifully. Loved the locally foraged fresh produce used in the dishes and the fact that Kobus explained the dishes himself. A sublime fine dining experience (without a “snobbish” atmosphere, which is a big positive in my book). Kobus is a brilliant chef and his “Strandveldy” food impeccable. Next level “veldkos” and wonderful wines from the West Coast to go with the dishes. One of my favourite places. We have been to Kobus a couple of times (since his days at Oep Ve Koep) and have never been disappointed. One for the bucket list if you haven’t been to Wolfgat yet.
