Gaaitjie is a beach side restaurant in the beautiful village of Paternoster. Explore the Paternoster beach and nestled amongst the rocks, you will find a simple white-washed fisherman’s cottage. Gaaitjie creates a warm welcome with feelings of comfort and tradition. This unique atmosphere has inspired an eclectic menu featuring local produce, fused with contemporary influences. Our food is unpretentious and made with love, using sustainable fresh ingredients as far as possible. The décor is simple yet comfortable and our unique location and views remain unbeatable. We boast an excellent wine list, sourced from the West Coast and immediate surrounds. We look forward to meeting Gaaitjie’s current and future friends, the final and most important ingredient to the perfect meal.

    Everything about this restaurant is lovely; the food, the view, the service. My mom and I each had the steak and we were both very happy with our meals.
