THE TOAD IN THE VILLAGE
Family Restaurant
in Noordhoek, Cape Town,
Western Cape, South Africa
The Toad in the Village, affectionately known as The Toad, is a friends-owned
country pub and restaurant serving fine bistro fare with a South African twist -
echoing the owners' love of good food, local wines, family and friends and the
abundance that life in this seaside valley has to offer. The Toad is at the foot
of Chapman's Peak, with the stunning Noordhoek beach on the doorstep. The
restaurant is in a thatched 1850's style farmhouse, set amongst surrounding
paddocks and behind the safe white-washed stone walls of the extremely quaint
and desirable Noordhoek Farm Village.
People drive from miles around the Peninsula for the Sunday Roast at The Toad -
and for undoubtedly the best Eisbein this side of Germany!! Other menu
specialties include Springbok and Guinness Pie, French Onion Soup and the best
Beer Battered Fish around! Grills, sticky Ribs, homemade Hamburgers, thin based
Pizzas and Calamari are all excellent. Thursdays are Curry nights at The Toad,
with a selection of fine Curries especially prepared for you. Pasta dishes and
Speciality Salads change regularly - and as is the way with all meals from this
country eatery - the helpings are not for the faint-hearted and the chips are
cut fresh every day! Whether you sit on the crowded deck, in the warm downstairs
dining room or upstairs in the traditional open thatched roof pub, with
fireplaces roaring and The Toad’s travels well documented on the walls around
you - the ambience is cosy and family orientated. The patio entrance also offers
out door seating and the unique all weather lawn creates the ideal beer garden
for balmy summer evenings. Away from the restaurant there is lawned and play
area to keep the kids busy - while you relax and enjoy the fresh country air and
chilled atmosphere.
Live music is a focus and on most nights you will find something on the go.
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are live music nights - with local artists who
have become an institution in the valley. Sing along or dance between the tables
- its relaxed and casual - a bit like being at a family gathering... Tuesday is
Quiz night and the prizes are always well anticipated. Booking is strongly
advised. Weekends are all action with sport being the focus. Well placed flat
screen TV's make big sporting events a must. The locals love their sport so
expect to be taken in by the atmosphere.
The friendly team, offer considerate and brisk service, affordable fare - spiced
with loads of local insight and stories to entertain the well entrenched locals
and welcome visitors alike, with a good selection of draughts, beers and a
well-chosen wine list. Expect to be impressed.
The Toad is a must see destination point. When there is not much on the go, get
in your car and head on down. The Village is a great place to be and you will
feel a million miles from the big city and shopping malls before you know it. We
look forward to meeting you.
