Was a really wonderful place to eat. Friendly and fast service especially considering it was so busy. Food was really good. Would definitely recommend this place.

Ek het nou by díe plek lamsbredie met pap geëet. Die pap se consistency is so tussen snypap en bolletjiespap, en dis nie gesifte meel nie. Ek het eerste 'n hap pap gevat. Ek het 'n moment met die pap gehad. Dit was beearrrrifil. Dis soos Boetiebeer se pap, net reg. Die mens wat die bredie gemaak het verstaan ook die werk. Ek het alles opgeëet en ek wag nou dat hulle vir my 2 skoon roosterkoeke en 'n serving pap bring om huis toe te vat. Ek sal dit met sorg Gauteng toe vat, ok nie die roosterkoeke nie. Hulle gaan botter, Marmite en fyn biltong op kry vir môre se padkos huis toe.

Had fantastic chocolate cake and coffee. Came back for coffee again! Lost a very sentimental expensive necklace but was picked up by staff and handed in. Thank you so much to management and staff. Not often that we come across such honesty. We will most definitely be back.

Lekker om net rustig te wees. En intresante winkels. Geniet die tyd saam met Dianna, my suster, dogter en kleinkinders, Bernt en Amoré

I enjoyed the Boere Breakfast (just the way I imagined it would be) and a nice Cappuccino with cream. Service was nice and quick even though they were quite busy.

We were looking for a Sunday breakfast and were drawn by the buzz and good view offered by the Artist’s Cafe. The restaurant is centrally located, has some unique menu options as well as the trusted old favorites. Our meals were tasty and the service, friendly. Our toddler enjoyed the old tractor and slide. All round good experience.

Good coffee!
Also the roosterkoek with a filling, and the pancakes are very nice
Kids can enjoy the old tractor and playarea
Definitely worth going!!

Whenever I come to Clarens, this is a MUST. We had breakfast there yesterday morning (14 October 2017). It was fabulous.
Tasty, fast & cozy!
The blankets outside add such a cozy atmosphere.

Loved the food and atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious farm style breakfast. Clarens has a lot of different restaurants within walking distance of each other and with stiff competition I would recommend the Artists Cafe to anyone.

Had a very pleasant breakfast here. The omelet was full of flavour and filling. The coffee was very good quality. The portion sizes are also generous. What you see is what you get!

I absolutely loved having breakfast here. We ended up going 2 mornings in a row, I had a veg omelette 😍 We also had the same waiter & he was so sweet 😀 Food took a while to come out, I think because they get so busy but honestly worth the wait.

This is a cosy little spot. Although I only had cake here the waiters were quick and friendly. I had two (generous) slices of cake - baked cheese cake and lemon meringue... Yum!

Out of this world!  Quirky decor ... 2 books stacked on each table, topped with a tin cup & saucer filled with sugars, decorated with pearly beads.

Service was excellent and I ordered the 'moerkoffie' and rusks.  It came in a pot with coffee bags and the saucers have ivy leaves on.  So cute.  Rusks were lovely, unfortunately I'm not a fan of chicory in coffee bags, so I swopped with Hein.

Hein had the Boerie breakfast ... a big portion of stywe pap topped with tomato relish with boerewors, bacon, eggs, grated cheese and toast on the side.  He loved it.

I ordered the 'roosterkoek' (griddle cakes) with jam and cheese.  OH MY GOODNESS!  Don't order anything else!!! It was crispy on the outside and soooooo yummy!!!!  2 of them and I nearly had them both, but I couldn't ... it was absolutely smashing.

Very good service and friendly staff. Food was excellent and service was fast. Best family restaurant in Clarens by far. Try the Roosterkoek, Artist Cafe Burger or Curry and as a coffee snob the coffee is very good.

Nice, vibey place, where one can do nice breakfasts!

They have favourites like 'Kamp Koffie' (coffee with condensed milk), Moerkoffie (traditional boere koffie), and other nice warm drinks!

The food is good!

You can even take home a 'artist cafe' mug for R30! Nice!

Worth a visit!

Artists Cafe is ideally located smack bang in the centre of town. The restaurant gets quite busy, especially over weekends but there is ample space to accommodate all the traffic and one has the option of sitting inside or outside.. The menu is extensive and dishes are fairly priced. The cafe has a rustic, vintage ambiance which matches the old school charm of Clarens. I would recommend going there for breakfast or if you're travelling in a group.

We came across Artists Cafe walking up the main road. It is situated on the bottom of the town square. We were greeted by the owner who was very friendly. I had the savoury pan cake which was delicious and reminded me of when I was a kid. The ambiance and decor is great and their is a fireplace so it must be quite cosy in the winter.

Excellent food, good value meals that don't compromise on quality. One of the best burgers you can have. Even the vegetarian quiche was mouth watering. The accompanying salad was a full meal on its own. The service by Patric was superb. Very novel way to bring you the bill in Old cigarette tins. Also on the wall an advert painted on tin that has a reference to the old South Africa which could belong in the Apartheid museum. Unfortunately, not user friendly if you get caught in torrential rain, unless you manage to go inside quickly.

Visited with a friend and our children, what a lovely experience. Waiters were attentive and made good recommendations. Both my Chicken salad and my friend’s Hangry Burger was really good. Loved the kids playing outside.

Rustic, themed restaurant with a very interesting menu. Menu does contain the typical staples but it has quite a few interesting and novel items to choose from. Portions are big and food quality is good. Waiters and staff are attentive and eager to help. Inside is cost and comfortable for a cold winters day.

We arrived 15:22 after hiking the entire day... Were surprised when the friendly staff allowed us to order even though the kitchen closed at 16:00. Food was fresh and salad dressing was delicious. Great sitting in the winter sun with a cute play area for kids. Also good value for money.

The place is so lovely and warm. The staff is very awesome and the service was great. The food was very delicious. I grabbed my lunch there. I hand their ribs, they fell of the bone. They even have a little play area for the kids outside. I would definitely recomend this place.

Clarens is a wonderful place for a Saturday morning slap-up breakfast. It’s clear that this is where the region hangs out. And the best way to tell. Whether the breakfast is good. Is by the number of families at the tables.

Clarens - Artist's Cafe .... when we visit Clarens, I just want their roosterkoeke!!! These roosterkoeke are just AMAZING!!!!! Served with a whole little glass container of strawberry jam, grated cheese. Pure heaven! Hein ordered boerewors with pap and eggs. Yum. Lovely Americano served in these mugs (you can buy them for R40) served on an ivy leaf. Hein Pretorius said it must be Adam's pants he left behind.
