Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Unless you know Stellenbosch you will drive/walk by the new location many times before spotting it. Once you are inside, it becomes lekker. It's not a very big menu, so you don't have to break your head before making a decision. The aroma of the...roosterkoeke hangs in the air. Very tasty and filling.More

This is a nice place to have lunch. There is a small patio to sit outside. The staff is friendly and the food tasteful.

This is the kind of place that really talks to my soul. Opposite of pretentious. Not for the masses. Not for the "selfie-nators" who wants to be seen to be seen. Just come as you are...enjoy a glass of wine, eat a great meal, laugh,...chat...while playing a game of canasta or yahtzee and listening to contemporary blues music. Takes you back to life before technology. Good old days...More

We are here for dinner. Our choose are pork Ribs, Beef Hamburger and Kudu Steak. The wine is a “Copper Pot” Pinot Noir. Everything ist absolute tasty and fine. The location is interestingly designed. Thank you to the management for creating this inspiring place and...thank you to the attentive and friendly staff. We soon will be back again.More

A fantastic little pub in Stellenbosch, that while it may not look like much from the outside is a great spot to go and relax for an evening with friends. Cheap food and drinks and an all round cosy atmosphere makes for a fantastic time...every visitMore

Stopped off for a visit before dinner. Had a bottle of wine. Nice change from new style wine bars as it’s a poky place with smaller rooms inside and a deck out in front. Didn’t have food but from what I saw people were enjoying....Would have returned if I had more time in Stellenbosch.More

A bit of a let down considering all the good reviews. Was really in the mood for some proper roosterkoek but was left a little saddened by the fact that it was cold. Otherwise ambience and drinks were really good and we had a really...great time thereMore

A refreshing change from modern, sleek finishes. This little corner bar surprised even from the outset. Within it delivered what the exterior promised.... a rustic, homely, quaint, European feel. We were there for only drinks, and although the Barman became quite flustered with an overly...busy atmosphere, we will definitely be back for another round.More

Had one night in Stellenbosch and stumbled across this place, stopped for a few drinks, the guy behind the bar was really friendly and helpful. He had some good music playing, we liked the look of the place as it was a locals place and...not full of tourists, thought we get a feel for the real Stellenbosch.

The stomme jonger used to be a firm favourite of ours.But since its changed ownership its consistency has gone down somewhat. Still got great vibes and great staff but the quality of the food is unpredictable. Sometimes its great, sometimes it's bad. Still pretty cheap...though. Don't order from them on Uber Eats. The food will arrive substandard with only half the ingredients.More

I wrote an appreciative review of this little cafe/restaurant a while ago. Since then, I've been back, and I was sorry to find that standards are slipping. The house speciality, 'roosterkoek' (griddle cake), which used to be freshly baked and hot, arrived cold and pallid,...not even toasted. The 'cheddar' was semi-processed, pre-sliced and rubbery. One of my companions did not receive the promised pesto on his platter -- a small detail, but representative of the lack of attention to detail. And then, I suppose for some customers it's a plus point that they're allowed to smoke on the terrace outside, but the tables are so close together that it can be really unpleasant if someone is smoking at the next table or even two tables away. It would be a pity if Stomme Jonge went the way of so many restaurants in Stellenbosch -- great to begin with, and then fading into mediocrity. I like the place, and would like to see it upping its game.More

Great place majority of seating is outside which is nice. You will always find the people on the next table to be friendly and you can find out lots about where to go in Stellenbosch. Very cheap, but that goes for everywhere in Stellenbosch. Food...is avalible, never eaten but I hear it's above expectations. Good central location to walk back to various hotels in the surrounding streets.More
