Discover the heart and soul of the Karoo at Frontiers Restaurant, nestled in the charming town of Graaff-Reinet. Here, every meal is a celebration of South African heritage, where traditional flavours meet modern culinary artistry. From tender, slow-braised Karoo lamb shank to flame-grilled lamb chops, rich and creamy carbonara, wood-fired pizzas, and decadent local desserts, our menu is a mouthwatering tribute to the region’s bounty.

Step inside and be wrapped in warm, rustic charm—or head to our hidden outdoor courtyard for a lively atmosphere by the bar, complete with music, laughter, and the clink of glasses. Our magnificent bar boasts beer on tap, signature cocktails crafted with a twist of Karoo flair, and a curated selection of superior local wines.

Families are more than welcome—kids can play freely in the dedicated play area on the jungle gym, while enjoying delicious child-friendly meals made with the same love and care.

At Frontiers, we don’t just serve food—we serve an experience. It’s the flavour of the Karoo, reimagined. Authentic. Inviting. Unforgettable.
