You can’t say you’ve visited the quaint Overberg village Baardskeerdersbos if you haven’t been to Marietjies. Essentially this is a pub but in reality, it is much more. It’s the local meet-up and the place for having a breakfast pig-out. Breakfast comes in half size for full. The full breakfast is R130 per person and is guaranteed to fill you up and leave enough spare for a doggie bag. Every order comes with individually plated eggs and garnish of tomato and lettuce with a second plate loaded with enough chips, bacon, sausage, cheese and bread for however many people are at the table. A farmer’s flask of coffee is given to complete the meal.
Fast facts:
- Marietjies has been going since 2004
- Seats 70 people
- Has a play area for children
- Includes a shop fronting the road where local crafts and fresh produce can be bought.
- Baardeskeerdersbos is also known as BBos
- Sausage served is bought from La Boucherie in Gansbaai (you would want to order too!)
Marietjies is popular and visited often by foodies, sporting teams and curious locals. It’s a great drive and peek at country living without forfeiting on an exceptional experience. Trout delicacies from nearby, free of preservatives, are sold at Marietjies with the strapline Fish for Thought.
There’s nothing like a proper breakfast and Marietjies has this down to the last bite of BBos goodness.
