Review Oevermeer Bistro - Muldersdrift

Amazing restaurant in a tranquil environment. The view is to die for inside this lodge. The service from waiters is not good. We had to wait 45 min for our food. I enjoyed the Doritos burgers cause it had literal Doritos. You can also go fishing here and see the giraffes. Also a beautiful spot to catch the sunset

I felt management let down the amazing staff and venue. Such a gem on our doorstep in Jozi, but the flies at the deck and general poor condition of facilities was a let down. Food was good and prices acceptable. Please make this the jewel we had hoped it would be.

I am a world traveler, and I just want say that this restaurant serves some of the best food that I have had anywhere in the world. Full of flavour, beautifully served, and dining in 1st class setting, spectacular view. Just perfect. Treat yourself there.

4 stars only because you don't have craft beer ;-), other than that amazing food with amazing view! Thank you x x

Heard a lot about this place, but it is môre beautiful than expected. I could sit here for days on end enjoying the views. The food is reasonably priced and of the highest standards. I will recommend Bistro anytime and will definitely come back to explore further. After lunch you can stroll around the lake and enjoy nature.

One of my most favourite places! The day was beautiful, with great food, drinks, and great conversation. Thank you to the Overmeer Bistro staff that was helpful, kind, and friendly. The food was exquisite, my favourite pizza by far! The surrounding was breathtaking that feels like you are far away from the hustle and bustle. I recommend this wonderful place for anyone who wants to try something new. 😎

Lovely food and atmosphere. You get more than enough food for the price. We had a pulled pork burger, which was great, but the bacon burger was dry and lacked flavour. It looked better than it tasted

A beautiful venue with a slightly odd menu. The pizza is a safe and tasty bet

This is a great place for kids, large open spaces and has a swing,slide and a small tube for kids. There is also a swimming pool and a lake where you are allowed to fly fish. The service is really beyond exceptional as it was fast and we didn't wait for anything we asked for over a long period of time. The food was absolutely delicious. It is a beautiful area.

Enjoyed every moment. Loved the serene atmosphere and the beautiful scenery.

It was a great experience to have a luncheon here. I orded grilled hake and I really enjoyed it. Big up to the waiter who was serving us, she's really friendly together with their manager as well...

Very grand and yet so down to earth. The drive from the entrance to here alone is something to behold. It's a beautiful hidden gem in muldersdrift with wonderful surroundings and enough nature to make you feel out of the city enough. The service is also very friendly. I absolutely love it here.

Oh My Goodness! What an amazing experience. The food is out of this world and feels like you should be on an episode of master chef. Everything on the plate plays its part to bring you amazing flavour and tastes like never before. Picking even your favourite and trusted item on the menu will push your boundaries and expectations. When you think you have had it all, go and try this wonderful place, you will not be dissapointed. The service is first class and very professional. The view is peaceful and serene, surrounded by lakes and beautiful mountains. The wildlife and birds are ever present. Saw a fish eagle as well as giraffe and buck.

The spectacular view of nature, blue sky, spectacular display of birds and blue sky compliments the dining on the deck. Our burgers were a mouth full, very tasty and grilled to perfection. These chefs know how to cook. Our main meal were rounded of with steamy coffee, pudding and a display of ducks and the the aroma of a fireplace. If only all restaurants can be like this one....

Where do I begin!!! Firstly - 10/10 for Kloofzitch lodge and Spa staff! They were excellent! We had our 10th annual conference there an our delegates were impressed as per norm! Then- Oevermeer Bistro- wow wow wow!! Staff excellent, friendly, management on point!! The food was amazing - 10/10 to the chef! The two nights we ate there we were highly impressed! See the awesome pictures!! The starters - devine- the mains - perfect size, delicious and desert - well cheese and biscuits the first night then cheese cake and Amarula ice cream- yummmmmmmy!! I would definitely recommend this place guys, it feels like you are out of the city - great mini get away! If you want a venue to host a conference, wedding or just a get away- Mo's def highly recommended!

Overlooking a dam and a mountain range, with views from its manicured grounds of Kloofzicht Lodge in Muldersdrift. Oevermeer Bistro is a sight to behold, with food to match! The view that meets you is mind blowing. The service and professionalism is on point as well. Prices are pretty fair, well presented too.

I went for a spa and it was heaven. Not far from M1 Johannesburg about 20 minutes and you feel like you are hours outside of Johannesburg. Reserved 1 star for food as it can be improved on

Absolutely breathtaking. The food is just as amazing as the view. Really appreciate the great service.

Great; This a great spot for lunch in the summer when you feel like getting away from the city. The food is great with a beautiful view and a relaxed environment. Perfect place to stop and grab a bite after cycling in the area.

Such a lovely setting, the restaurant is lovely, but we were really disappointed with the food. Pizza was served using frozen pizza bases and not home-made, which is not acceptable for a "craft food" restaurant. Pork belly pizza barely had 2 pieces of pork per slice and had way too much yellow cheese and tomato sauce. We had a group of 15 guests, 7 being children, 2 children were served pizza 10 minutes before the other children's food was served. The children's food was served on piping hot plates that they could not touch, adults plates were cold. Service was very very slow, with our waiter only checking in on us every 20 minutes or so which made ordering things quite difficult. Nothing special about any of the food we tasted, pasta was average and quite rubbery, with tomato sauce that tasted like it came straight out of a can. Very disappointing,so much promise on the website but no delivery on those promises.

The Oevermeer Bistro at kloofzicht lodge is spectacular, the view is breathtaking, the ambience and very well trained staff are hands on and their very professional and friendly manager, Jimmy, who really interacts and makes sure his customers are happy is an asset to say the least...the service is exceptional and most importantly the food is very good and delicious..everything is 5 star, one just can't get enough it's so satisfying...well done to the chef at oevermeer we will be back again and again and have already told friends ..

Probably my 7th visit already. Highly recommend the beef burger with condensed milk and mustard sauce, the crunchiest potato wedges ever and a bowl of fresh salad. And what a view. Majestic yet serene. Yours in beautiful music Annemarie.

Had lunch here after the Cradle half marathon on Thursday. Everyone of us (5) had a wonderful meal, the service was exceptional and the view must be one of the best there is! Can't wait to come back �

Great experience -my sister arrived off the plane from LA longing to be in the Country side eating good food. A friend suggested Kloofzicht Super food, super views, great service and generally fabulous day. Thanks

Lovely and relaxed vibe. Will df be back in summer time ... I'd just suggest a direct line to the bristo as I stuggled to get through... Otherwise a great experience!

The food was amazing. Service great and nothing bad to say at all

Phoned last week to make a booking for breakfast at 9. Drove from Centurion and Kempton Park. Got there this morning only to be told there is a function on. Poor guy working at the Bistro had no clue as to what's going on

Excellent Nothing to complain about.such an awesome place

Wonderful reataurant. Great food and awesome service.

The atmosphere is wonderful and such a Beautiful view and friendly staff,but it was unfortunate that the meal chosen was not great<br/>We ordered the Cajun Chicken open sandwich, bread was rock hard and chicken dry and bacon not crispy😣 The Brie cheese and wedges were great though.

Made a reservation, confirmed. Drove all the way, but they had no idea of my reservation. Private function on. My PA calls Lebo at reception who confirms she can see booking on system. In the end I left and went to a mall restaurant. Poor...

3.5 stars.<br/><br/>Amazing location, beautiful views and friendly staff are the highlight of this bistro but let down by the lack of variety on the menu and the average food.<br/><br/>However, the menu is a little sparse. The vegetarian options were far and few between. Our starter, a shared vegetarian platter, was quite good. Mains were average. The pizzas need some work. The bases were thick and doughy and the topping was overly cheesy. The creme brulee we had for dessert was runny and the sugar layer at the top tasted burnt, so we ended up leaving most of it.<br/><br/>Oevermeer has the benefit of a great location. I think a change-up on the menu is due and a attention to the quality of food served is in need.

Upon arrival at this bistro, we were seated outside overlooking a beautiful lake on a blazingly hot day. We ordered some drinks for the table, and they arrived in drips and drabs - at a snail's pace. The servers seemed flustered and the staff seemed to avoid the table at all costs to avoid being bothered. The menu is small and seems a bit confused. There aren't many exciting options to choose from, and some of the dished sounded haphazardly put together in the description.<br/><br/>Once everyone finally received their beverages, we ordered starters. The starters alone took about 40 minutes to arrive at the table. They weren't bad, some platters with a few bits and pieces. Most of the food was a bit insipid and uninspired at this point. When the mains arrived, after another long wait, the real problems began. Someone at the table ordered a taco of sorts and it arrived with minced meat that smelled rancid and was quite obviously off. How it left the kitchen is beyond me. The servers begrudgingly replaced it with a burger that took another 20 minutes to arrive. Sadly, the pizzas are not good either. It seems like the bistro uses store-bought bases, topped with cheddar cheese and a bare minimum of toppings. The crostini main is one of the more pricey items, but arrived the size of a starter bruschetta. It was smothered in garlic and a stodgy aioli to boot. The price is ridiculous for the abysmal quality.<br/><br/>Overall, I will not be returning here. The food is definitely sub-par and the waiting time to receive the meals is absolutely insane. An idyllic venue isn't all a restaurant needs...

Gorgeous and relaxing venue with perfect attention to detail!! Food was very tasty and portion size is huge!! Prices are very affordable! Will be back very soon!!

The service is amazing! They go the extra mile to make you feel welcome! Great vibe and tasty food! Jimmy is especially worth mentioning- he provides a great service👍

We arrived early for check-in at the beautiful Kloofzicht Spa and Lodge and decided to have lunch at the little Bistro on site.<br/><br/>There was a limited menu, burgers, pizzas and the like. It was a gorgeous day, so we sat on the deck and we were quickly attended to by the waitress. <br/><br/>Food and drink arrived quickly, but the burgers were a bit disappointing. My partner chose the chicken burger, with Brie and bacon jam. It sounded so interesting. Unfortunately the chicken breast was dry and under flavored. I had the same, but with a beef patty. Again, the meat was bland, although cooked medium rare as requested.<br/><br/>The hand cut wedges were obviously boiled and then briefly fried. Not the tastiest.<br/><br/>Overall, the venue and service were a hit, but the food lacked a bit of love.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Oevermeer Bistro this past weekend.  We were seated outside with the most beautiful view over the dam, but had to move inside due to a change in the weather.  The inside didn't disappoint!  We were seated close to the cozy fireplace.  The hustle and bustle of the restaurant in the background, the friendly staff, amazing food and craft beer on tap made for a lovely afternoon.  Another nice thing is that you're only about 20min away from the suburbs, but it feels like you're somewhere far away!  Definitely deserves a 5 / 5 rating!!!

What a lovely experience!  The food was out of this world and the service was excellent!  Great menu selection with the best vegetarian burger I've ever had!  They also cater for kids, so the whole family can enjoy the outing... and they have craft beer on tap - what's not to like about that!

We decided to go for a little Sunday drive and Found the best Bistro in Muldersdrift area. They share the premises of Kloofzicht Lodge and Spa. We ordered Burgers and Craft Beer and Gourmet Milkshakes and it was brilliant. Best Burger in Gauteng I've had in a long time.<br/><br/>Staff was friendly and the prices was good too

Bistro's are jotted all along this route in the Cradle, its true.. but few are able to rival the views that Oevermeer Bistro (set in Muldersdrift) has. It conveniently overlooks six fly-fishing dams within a private game reserve at Kloofzicht Lodge and Spa.<br/><br/>Combine this setting with award-winning Chef Christ Tustian and you have a combination that Kloofzicht must be proud of! <br/><br/>This is a really casual setting so don't expect fine dining, and my chicken pizza kept it very simple: think peppadew, feta and spinach. Oevermeer isn't trying too hard to be anything but a relaxed atmosphere and their emphasis is on making the most of fresh seasonal produce which is perfect for lazy weekends in the countryside. <br/><br/>*Recommendation: For a casual setting with a difference (and views of nature that are hard to beat), this is a bistro to visit. <br/><br/>For more, find me on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter: LaurasWorldza

Went there for breakfast today and found it pleasant. Service was friendly and the portions were large and tasty. Good value for money as long as you not expecting the Kloofzicht luxury or something over the top.

I decided to book at this Bistro for my birthday on Saturday and expecting an amazing experience being at Kloofzicht. Unfortunately this was very average and overpriced. The pasta's were nothing to rave about and the meat platter that a few of us ordered received tough steak and shrivelled up chicken pieces. We were given benches to sit on (I booked a table of 12) which were not the most comfortable. The service was also average. And being my birthday party, I would expect something extra special. The venue and view is however spectacular however this will not be enough to get me to go back.

Excellent addition to the West Rand, situated in the Kloofzicht lodge grounds.<br/>Good to have two quality places like this and Bidon next to each other.<br/>
