Review Carola Ann's - Mossel Bay

Best restaurant in Mossel Bay! Real chefs who know what they are doing, creating delicious flavours, and excellent quality compared to other places in the town. My favourite dishes are the veggie bowl breakfast, and the chicken kebab for lunch or dinner! Great wine selection, and lots of yummy cakes and treats to feast your eyes on

What an amazing cafe, they also offer so many cute gifts:)

Great location with an inviting atmosphere! The food was excellent, very tasty and value money. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!

Amazing place, truly beautiful, amazing journey to the middle east. Amazing flavors, complex dishes executied PERFECTLY. I was amazed to find such a gem in the last place I'd expect it. Amazing Atmosphere, welcoming Staff, beautiful dishes, and flavors that will blow your mind if your an adventurous eater. A true, not to be missed destination for foodies. We barely touched the surface because we only ate breakfast. But it was one of the best representations of middle eastern cuisine I have yet to come across. To the owners: I thank you, you took me on a flavourful journey.

Fine dining - Enjoyed the lamb shoulder main meal and Baklava ice cream desert. Food different, good presentation and love the flavours. Great service. Lovely ambience and beautiful decor. Quaint deli shop for freshly baked sweets, frozen meals, & spices. We will be back for more tastebuds spoil! Definitely worth the drive to Mosselbay!

Food was fantastic - mine, including other guests (tasted a mouthful of theirs!). Starters were great. Ostrich steak, Sirloin, Pumpkin ravioli, Oxtail (I mention these as it is not listed below) Love, love, love the interior. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable. Has a more upmarket feel to it, yet cosy and inviting. Would love to dine in the back-yard in summer!

Enjoyed a dinner here in the beginning of March. I would recommend getting reservations or coming early as it seems to get busy. Ordered the falafel, three dip mezza. And then the Hake fish of the day with tabouleh salad and potatoes. Also had the baklava ice cream for dessert. The apps and main were so delicious. Really enjoyed both— especially the freshness of the fish. Personally I found the dessert a bit too sweet for my liking. Absolutely adored the little shop inside with baked goodies like homemade granola and then the freezer with pre-made food. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area!

Nice location, great food, and awesome staff. If we are ever in mossel bay again we will definitely stop there for dinner again. Steaks was done to perfection. Highly recommended

We sat outside in the garden. The food took some time to make (30min), but my ostrich was great! The music speakers didn’t work so the atmosphere wasn’t very viby. Staff is very attentive and helpful.

The staff is super friendly and has always a smile on. Definitly one of the best cappucinos in town. Totally recommend the terrace with a really nice view. The interior has a nice flavor and there are a lot of little details in the decoration that just makes you wanna stay. The backyard is definitly worth a visit as well!

Really nice healthy food options for breakfast.

Lamb shoulder cooked to perfection. Interesting menu, cheerful staff and well decorated. One of the best restaurants in Mossel Bay.

Beautiful location and great mezze style dishes. Well done!

Had the best meal. Food full of flavour. Authentic Middle Eastern menu to die for. Only negative is that the waiter never came around after meal was served to make sure all is OK Would highly recommend Carola Ann's for a superb gourmet experience

O really loved the food! Fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented! Heathy and vegan options available and the best baked cheesecake I have ever had in my life !!! Try the cheesecake please !!! I tried for the recipe but no success. Would just have to come back then!!

Top notch restaurant! Friendly and attentive staff giving excellent service. Great food with a lot of variety. Intimate indoor seating or relaxed outdoor vibe. Reasonably priced.

Very good food, nice service and a great ambience. We had dinner and every course was outstandingly delicious. Good cocktails, too.

Amazing food - probably the best on our Garden Route trip | Beautiful old building with terrace seating and sea view | Good service

The absolute best!!! Enjoyed an amazing experience with the Syrian Dinner. They live out their love and passion for food and one can taste it in every bite!! True gem and a place of happiness and GREAT food!!

Welcoming staff - very friendly and professional. Great menu and good price for breakfast. A "must visit" when in Mossel Bay!

Food was superb! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. I can't believe I didn't about it sooner. Will definitely be returning many times over. Cannot recommend it enough. A jewel in MosselBay.

Excellent food and service! Wonderful new flavors and fantastic food. Fantastic experience

A breath of fresh in Mossel Bays cuisine scene. Die atmosfeer en kos was absoluut heerlik.

Healthy and beautifully presented breakfast , very accommodating to my vegan dietary requirements

The food was great and fresh. Friendly people and prices are good. Thanks a lot for a awesome lunch.

Great food, generous portions, excellent coffee and very friendly husband and wife team. Will definitely be back.

Lovely atmosphere, food was tasteful. Good experience......

The only place in Mosselbay where i trust the food. Should open for Dinner as i need 3 meals a day !!

My favourite restaurant for healthy and delicious lunch!! I would honestly go there everyday if I lived in Mosselbay!! LOVE it...

Thank you for a delicious lunch! We are so glad we spotted Carola Ann's. Thanks for the great conversation, healthy delicious smoothie, lovely fresh main dishes and amazing banana cheesecake. We wish we lived closer then we would be there more often. Wishing you all the best.

What an amazing husband and wife team. Every bite is a journey.. well done

Most delicious cheesecake

A really special place. Airy, selectively decorated and based in a beautiful, old sandstone building. They offer unique dishes, many with a Middle Eastern touch. A wide selection also available for non-meat eaters. The quality and presentation of the meals are up there with the best. Add to this friendly and crisp service. Us locals are privileged to have such a facility present in our quaint ‘little town’.

I love the atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. Everything here is amazing! 😊 They used to have Über Ice tea here but they unfortunately don't serve it anymore.

Great place, have been for breakfast or just a coffee on a number of occasions. Poached eggs have always been good. Quirky little place.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.<br/>

Wonderful little coffee shop in Mosselbay CBD. The jewel of Mossel Bay. Interesting breakfasts, great coffee. I wondered why it was always busy, now I know why the locals visit here

Lovely healthy breakfast options. The cheesecake and chocolate squares are delicious. Big portions. Such a lovely vibe- would definitely visit again!

I was surprised by all the vegan options and how accommodating Carolas were to dietary needs to suit our desires. Delicious vegetarian options, meat for the carnivores and smoothies for the health conscious sweet tooth. Attractive nutritious food to brighten your day

Lucky find in mossel bay. Quaint little cafe. Interesting art on the walls, quiet ambience. We had breakfast - house recommended Anoush's hummus and the French style banana bread. It was beautifully presented. The mince and the hummus together were a tad dry - the hummus was very chickpea based (min tahini) and the mince a bit dry but together it was very yum. Best chai latte I've had !

Absolutely incredible brekkie. So nice to experience a different food culture. It is a must try! I had the Carola Ann’s brekkie and swapped smoked salmon for bacon. Sensational.

Excellent combination of flavors, from their in house blend of Zaatar spice to their hummus. Lovely fresh ingredients used to prepare the most delicious food. Excellent breakfast experience

Really nice little place with some really healthy food. We had lunch here and were not disappointed at all. Even hubby that is more of a meat and potato person loved his wrap.

Excellent meal! They host occasional supper nights (usually a breakfast and lunch spot) and we had the privilege to dine at Carola Ann's tonight. This husband and wife team are on fire!! Delicious starter and main of lamb was best I have eaten in years. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. Thanks for having us.

Fantastic place for a lunch! Great variety.<br/>We started with a Turmeric sunrise smoothie, never had this before, and a mezze plate with all kinds of small snacks. Tasted very good!

What a little treasure.... the food is possibly the finest in mosselbay, the service and attentiveness is exceptional. <br/>If u enjoy food other than simple traditional fair, then this is the place for you. <br/>Coffee is the best I've had in a long time. <br/>This establishment way exceeds the rating received, try it and See for yourself!!

Yeh, something different, delicious and divine. Much needed in Mosselbaai. Service, cost and presentation also great. Will recommend to anyone to visit when in town.

Heard great things about this place so dropped for lunch and wasn't disappointed at all. Lunch menu is black board style as it changes often and though the choice is limited there is something for everyone. We tried the burger, and the beef short rib. Mine was the burger with a shredded zucchini salad. The burger was sensational, well cooked, soft and juicy. Full of flavors and perfectly offset by the brioche style burger bun. The salad was extremely refreshing but lacked a little seasoning and perhaps a bit more bite from the chili. The staff are exceptional and managed to accommodate my kids which is no mean feat. They bent over backwards to make us happy and knew every aspect of their menu. I will not only be back here when visiting mossel bay but will recommend to everyone as a far superior alternative to the usual mossel bay hangouts. I just hope they manage to get a liquor license and start to open in the evenings as well.

2018 / 12 31 edited review ...<br/><br/>Amazing how this establishment has remained a popular spot for amazing food along the garden route. The renovation shows a touch of class and more style to this old building.<br/>Pity the service has decreased soo much that this will definitely be my last visit here.<br/>Currently sat for 15min with our finished dishes and still not waitress in site or even Sam coming to offer us another coffee or even the bill!!<br/>Guys from your days of a small catering company to now your friendly service has always been your strong point backing up the best food on the garden route!<br/>Pity that service has now been replaced by stand South African ..... Where customers are a nucence to the wait staff.<br/>Let's hope post season it returns .<br/><br/>Original<br/><br/>It's great to see that this little gem that opened late last year, has finally got its self onto zamoto.<br/><br/>Starting out opening a catering buisness when they moved into the bay this amazing service and great food oriented couple has gone and opened a gem.<br/>Coralie and her husband have the got the ratio right. Her passion for food and flavours comes through in every dish and his excellent coffees and understanding of service is what youd expect in the best European resturants.<br/>The little resturant that has quite a heavy middle eastern influence is a welcome change to mosselbays food scene.Breakfasts and brunches are a treat especially the made to order humus.<br/><br/>But the highlight is their Lunches and her dinners when they happen.<br/>A short walk from the museum and dock area I'd really recommend this gem to locals and visitors alike.<br/>
