At the Black Oystercatcher Restaurant, we live by the season.
We serve fresh produce that grows in our own garden as the seasons dictate. As a result, we
offer an organic dining experience, set in a relaxed country atmosphere. Here fresh food,
complimenting our boutique wines, is prepared to order and enjoyed at leisure. The seasons
also determine the mood at this Elim restaurant: the refreshing sea breeze will cool you down
in summer, or enjoy our cozy log fires in the winter months.
The Black Oystercatcher Restaurant is situated on a wine farm in the Elim wine ward. The
restaurant is close to the quaint missionary town of Elim and the small town of Bredasdorp at
South Africa's southern-most tip. The setting is ideal, looking out over the wetlands that form
part of conserved Nuwejaars Wetland Protected Environment, and across to the rare fynbos
on the Soetmuisberg mountains. The view is complete with our infinity pool situated next to
the dining area.

tasting and lunch and had
a very good experience.
We were served by the

FOODSTUFF: Elim
lunch at Black
Oystercatcher

"I joined an early
January group eating a
holiday lunch under the
outdoor marquee, and
we had a tasty time
tucking into homemade
hamburgers with potato
wedges and onion
marmelade, as well as
grilled yellowtail with
salad. This fish was fresh!
Dirkie caught it on a
Struisbaai fishing
expedition with
Springfield’s Abrie

Also impressive, the
Asian tones of a chilli

milk-infused prawn and
chicken noodle dish
served with Indonesian
shrimp chips".... more

Black Oystercatcher Restaurant
The Black Oystercatcher Restaurant offers visitors some insight into the rich history of the
Agulhas Plain. The building is more than a hundred years old, and has through the century
served as a dairy parlour, stables for horses, while even housing ostriches at one stage. It
was converted into the restaurant in 2008.
Aside from the dining facilities, wine tastings are also held here. This Overberg restaurant has
featured on programmes such as Pasella (Video and article), and has been frequented by
South Africa's most well-known faces, from sport stars to entertainers.
