Die Kreefhuis

Die Kreefhuis

Appropriately named, Die Kreefhuis was in fact the first restaurant in the area to serve a whole crayfish to diners, and whilst the prices of this delicacy may have risen dramatically since the establishment first opened in 1986, it is still a best seller on the menu particularly with the tourists who frequent Lambert's Bay during the summer months. Situated in an attractive old building which was once the factory manager�s house, the restaurant is opposite the Bird Island entrance to the harbour and is fortunate to have sea views and space on the pavement for outside tables and umbrellas which are in great demand when the weather is good.

The character of the building has remained intact with the original Oregon pine ceiling and fireplace which is put to good use on cool winter evenings. Directly above the fireplace is a beautiful tromp l�oeil wall mural which together with the patterned detail around the arched windows gives the restaurant a distinct country house charm. The ambience is warm and welcoming with an attractive oak bar at one end of the restaurant, and the owner is a gracious hostess who is quick to point out that the dress code is casual and informal which is perfectly suited to the many holidaymakers who have become regular customers.
