What a great hidden gem we found. My clients where not sure if we were right when we entered the gravel road leading to this amazing space on the slopes of the Simonstown mountains. Freshly farmed things, goats, sheeps, great views, awesome service and of course very delicious breakfast. There is not much on the menu- which I love- as what you get is absolutely amazing. 100% recommendation. Don’t miss out.

We had an amazing lunch at this beautiful spot! The farm is charming and authentic, offering a peaceful, rustic atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. If you’re visiting Simon’s Town or heading to Cape Point, this place is a must-stop. Highly recommended.

Tranquil little cafe with stunning views of the bay. The food was delicious and used only fresh ingredients. The owners and staff were super friendly, as were the house dogs. Definitely worth the detour and a couple of minutes on the dirt access road to get there!

So glad that we spotted this place on Google maps as we were driving to Cape point. Don't be put off by the dirt track. What you'll find at the end is such a tranquil and stunning setting. We sat outside overlooking false bay with stunning views. I had a refreshing and delicious harvest juice with fruits and veggies from the farm. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Served on some lovely hand thrown pottery. We particularly enjoyed being closely inspected by one of the chickens!

We just stopped by to grab a coffee, but were stunned how beautiful and cozy this farm is. You can feel the peace and the food tastes fresh and delicious. Don't be surprised if the road looks a little offroad, there are signs that point to the Barefoot Café.

Breathtaking views, very friendly service and nice coffee. Chickens waddling around and friendly goats by the parking area. Very private and relaxing. There's a little playground and a swing for kids. Be warned: there's a 600 metre dirt laneway you drive on to enter which is fairly treacherous if you don't drive a 4x4. Well worth it though!

This is by far the highlight of my Cape Town trip for food. It’s a farm to table cafe, everything we ordered tasted amazing. It has the best views, we sat outdoors and enjoyed ourselves with chickens roaming around us. It was a beautiful lunch experience and highly recommended despite it being a bit remote. But if you’re around Boulders Beach, please do consider stopping by!
