We spent a few days in Clarens over the festive Season and decided to try out the Highlander for lunch on one of the days. The Chicken and Mushroom Pizza was definitely a winner...crammed full of toppings and cheese. Would definitely recommend this pizza, and it also wasn't too badly priced.
The Manager and the staff were very friendly and made the experience worthwhile.
Will definitely be back on our next visit!
Lovely atmosphere to begin the year with. Most probably to visit again on an every day basis. The staff was friendly.
The food, out of this world. It could do with a lot more various sauces to accommodate people with different tastes. They could also do with a non-alcoholic drink list since we did not receive one and had to order something from out our heads.
On a lighter note, The Highlander Restaurant is a huge saver on the pocket too. I'm definitely taking friends there on the next visit.
We had food (pizza, steak, hamburgers) and cocktails. We enjoyed the view and the atmosphere. Friendly service! Prices were good in comparison to the rest of the town

I was in Clarens 2 weeks ago for work and had pizza @ The Highlander every night. (I can recomend Fiona's Classic).
My boyfriend and I came back to Clarens for the weekend (14-15 October 2017) and I took him here for pizza last night.
We really enjoyed it!
The service is slightly slow - but it's not a train smash - we are here to relax afterall!
On the back of a cycling camp, we were a hungry bunch. Pizzas were mostly orders of the day and boy are they good! A thin base and made to perfection, only down side was on a long weekend the place was madness and with one pizza oven you can expect a long wait. However waitrons did warn us. The generous Spaghetti Bolognese is highly recommended as well as flavorful curries. All in all good service and great food, just the time delays were frustrating but cold beers and friendly staff made up for this. Worth a visit while enjoying this quaint town.
This one is easy to review:
restaurant kinda slow on service (I was hungover so probably my only fault as everything seemed to take a while even me getting the day started) but all I can say is:
Homemade pies and beer nuff said
We had been hiking the whole day, so we were hungry, and we craved pizza and steak. So we had garlic and mozzarella pizza to share as a starter, and fillet as a main - best of both! And both were great! I will come back for the fillet. Generous portions, good prices and friendly staff.
Delious food every time I come here.
Highly recommended.
Great steaks and vegetables, pizza's, starters and great wine list. Prices are very reasonable.
This restaurant never lets you down. Definitely a Friday night favourite, you have to book in advance or you aren't going to get in. Reasonable food, good service and an extensive wine menu.
A safe bet that caters to a wide variety of tastes. Staff are friendly and the food is good, but not great. That's ok - it's still far better than most franchised spots.
Adult and kiddy meal portions are generous and tasty. The fresh Chilli was dull, old and feels like it's been pickled in oil for far too long.
The chocolate milkshake was yum.
Worth a try......
The BEST Anchovy pizza I have ever had in my life! Cold night but warm restaurant with central fire. Oxtail soup & homemade bun. Enjoyed our evening.
(Suggestions: we weren’t told about the specials, had to ask. Apple pie was served cold on a winter night should be warm)
The pizza's were delicious , and their beverages were okay.
It's quite a little place.
Haven't been here for years but it was a pleasant surprise to see that it's still one of the best place for pizza 🍕 and oxtail. Loved it

Really enjoyed our food here. Had trout, and it was better than expected.
A bonus was the 'half price' special for drinks between 5.30-6.30
The service was also excellent!

My rump was great but we're not a fan of the pizza bases. My seven year old is a bit of a pizza connoisseur and she felt it could be better but then tastes do differ, however another member of the party felt the same. For the rest we felt that the staff were friendly and helpful and service was fast and efficient. There's a lovely view and next time we'll have to test the bar which looked inviting.
What a super meal we had. Roast duck pie, pizzas & eisbein were all excellent. Service brilliant and ambience lovely. The only thing that could have been better was the creme brulee
Garlic snails and fillet to die for! Unfortunately lacking a bit on the vegan side - my sister had to have chips and cheese sauce as the nachos left a lot to be desired for. Lovely atmosphere with the roaring fire. Oh, and try the fancy bar outside. A lovely experience.
Springbok carpaccio and snails for starters and loved it... Fillet with chillie chocolate sauce and chicken and prawn curry for mains... can't even describe how delicious the mains were... so much flavour, so many friendly faces... definitely the place to be!
Very affordable and absolutely delicious. They went the extra mile to provide vegetarian options for my partner. Bread was deliciously sweet and homemade. Could not believe how cheap it was for what we received!
What a great experience we had at this restaurant. For the pork lovers, you have to try their eisbein, you will be sold for life. Good service from the staff, limited but excellent cocktails available. Pitta bread with feta cheese, curry chicken salad and the butternut salad are excellent choices. Excellent job guys, we will be back.
