We stayed one night in Swellendam and were looking for an authentic and cozy place for dinner. There were quite a few options, but luckily we ended up at De Vagebond — and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice!
From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm hospitality, excellent service, and outstanding food. We had ostrich before, but never prepared with this level of quality — it was absolutely delicious.
To our surprise, the owner personally came to each table to ask how everything was — genuinely friendly and down to earth. You can tell he cares deeply about quality, especially when it comes to the meat, which he prepares over an open fire.
Special requests and changes to our order were no problem at all — everything was handled with ease and a smile.
There was great music playing at the back entrance, just the right volume to create a relaxed vibe. We were told that during winter it’s usually quieter.
We’ll definitely be back soon! :)
