The pleasure that comes with sitting down to enjoy a well-prepared meal at a vibey restaurant is something that all of us enjoy. Locals in the small town of Boesmansriviermond are spoilt for choice when they visit one of the area's most popular eateries, Bushman's Bar & Grill. This restaurant is an eclectic melting pot of the best parts of the Eastern Cape.
A menu that caters to all
This restaurant specialises in good old-fashioned pub grub. Expect to be treated to dishes such as homemade burgers, succulent steaks, classic pizzas, creamy pasta, seafood platters and more. You can also enjoy delicious nibbles when you order a finger food basket and toasties while you watch the latest sporting events at the bar. Takeaways are also available by order, but the view at Bushman's Bar & Grill is an experience worth dining out for.
Views from nature
Overlooking the beautiful Bushman's River, patrons are treated to picturesque sunsets, birds chirping and the breeze rustling through the riverbanks. Relax and let the sounds of nature accompany a fresh catch of the day while you try and spot the jumping fish and playful otters that often appear in the river. Patrons are encouraged to bring their binoculars along for some indigenous bird sightings and for a closer look at the showstopping view.
If you wish to dine on the river itself, Sandbar Floating Restaurant is a hop, skip and jump away. This moored boat has been converted into an eatery that serves simple, tasty food with live entertainment for guests to enjoy on the deck.
Keeping spirits alive
There is an extensive list of the finest whiskies, wines and beers on the drinks menu. Alternatively, you may bring your own bottle to sip on for a minimal corkage fee. The bar is a wonderful place to unwind, and the decor is reminiscent of classic pubs and restaurants overseas. The venue is load-shedding friendly, so rest assured you can still catch that match you absolutely refuse to miss on the big screen TVs at Bushman's Bar & Grill.
A big talking point is the wall of shooters that Bushman's features and you are welcome to create your own mixture for a chance to be added to the infamous wall! The bar has become a go-to for locals in the Eastern Cape, with many patrons travelling from surrounding holiday towns to meet up with mates and create special memories. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and is open to everyone.
Behind the scenes at Bushman's Bar & Grill
The family-owned restaurant is headed up by Jacques and Lyn de Coning. Jacques is a well-known musician and has a penchant for showcasing live music on the stage at Bushman's. The atmosphere is definitely electric on those evenings when the music is good and the drinks are flowing. This family-friendly eatery also has braai facilities where you can buy a braai pack from the restaurant and host a casual braai on the deck. You would be hard-pressed to find many other places that offer this perfect blend of hospitality and casual dining.
