Avondrood Guesthouse booked breakfast for us at The Common Room. What a wide selection of the most delicious juices, fruit, muesli, yoghurts, etc etc. We also went to the Sunday night screening - a delightful way of spending a Sunday evening in a small town.

Not in the mood for fine dining à la The Tasting room but still want the fine dining tasting experience? Head straight to the Common Room for creative great food in small plates to share in a relaxed warm environment. The Parmesan french toast, the Beef tartar and the Peanut butter parfait stood out in their perfect combinations of tastes... More

This is a fabulous spot to taste Chef Margot Janse's food in a more casual atmosphere compared to The Tasting Room. The decor is fun, colourful and quirky. The food is just as much fun and incredibly tasty. Recommend the wildebeest bitterballen (like a soft meatball) and the beef cheek with bacon crumble. Sit out on the rear patio to... More

The Common Room boasts a relaxed atmosphere where you can chose to sit a table or on a comfy couch and enjoy a bottle or two of great wine accompanied by gourmet tapas. This is a perfect spot to balance all of the fine dining spots in the town and in the region! As the tapas are coming out of... More

This is a very good restaurant with good ambience, decor and service and excellent food.The squid was particularly memorable. It is not fine dining as such but I rate this as 'must' visit.

After failing to get a booking at the Tasting Room, we were offered a booking in the Common Room and wish we'd gone elsewhere.
