Howzzzt recommends: 2Chefs Bistro, Dullstroom
So Dullstroom (as you know, if you’ve read our quick guide to it), has a whole lot of restaurants for a place so miniscule. One thing it is remarkably short of, though, is decent vegetarian fare. There’s plenty of trout, unsurprisingly enough, and the usual flash-frozen vegetarian lasagne that should have been declared a crime against humanity years ago. But if you are looking for something a little exotic or exciting, you are bang out of luck.
The somewhat understated sign for the 2Chefs Bistro in Dullstroom
Or so we thought, until we discovered the 2Chefs Bistro. It’s on the main drag but tucked away in a corner and not particularly well sign-posted. Look for the hugely and gaudily branded Rose Cottage, then turn your back on it, cross the street, and you are there. Doesn’t look like much, does it? Now ignore the decor and look at the menu instead.
We can’t promise that it will be there for much longer, because it’s not pulling the kind of traffic that a restaurant needs to make a decent profit. But while it’s there, it’s really worth a visit. The long list of vegetarian dishes is varied and amazing. They serve a mean ostrich, and the usual tea-garden menu is pretty snazzy in itself.

This is not a high-volume joint, so each dish is prepared with attention to detail. And the serving staff are always glad to see you and, more importantly, your tips.
If you do go to Dullstroom (and don’t say we didn’t warn you when you get bored), give it a try and let us know what you think.
