Luckily, Tulbagh has plenty of places with kids’ menus designed to please even the fussiest food critics, and give grown-ups a moment to breathe.
The kids' menu includes scrambled egg breakfasts, chicken strips with fries, cheesy Margherita pizza and waffles with sprinkles. Bonus? The milkshakes are pure joy.
This local darling serves up FREE Kiddies Combos from Monday to Thursday when parents order a main meal. It’s a win for your wallet and your little foodies, who’ll love their simple, tasty options.
This is the kind of place where kids can be kids. With wide-open spaces, jungle gyms, swings and a kiddies menu with options like chicken strips, cheeseburgers and bubblegum milkshakes, it’s easygoing and stress-free for the whole family.
A great countryside stop for families who love fresh air, antiques and deli treats. The small menu changes daily, with light meals, good coffee and seriously tasty pancakes. Kids have space to run while you browse
Fresh air and wide lawns make this a great spot for families. While the adults sip something local or enjoy a tasting, kids can run and play.
Countryside setting, space to play, and all the Italian comfort food kids love. From cheesy pizza to creamy pasta and sweet little treats, the kiddies menu is full of feel-good favourites. Plus, there’s a playground to keep them happy between bites.
Whether it’s a quick bite or a proper sit-down, Tulbagh’s family-friendly food scene has you covered.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The skies stayed clear, the valley sparkled, and just when we thought it couldn’t get more magical, a rainbow appeared over the town. It felt like Tulbagh itself was celebrating.
A heartfelt thanks to every traveller and local who came to share in the magic, and to the artisans, restaurateurs, winemakers, musicians, vendors, accommodation hosts and activity providers who brought their passion to life. From the Electric Light Farmers Parade to the craft market, from live performances to festive food, cosy stays and unforgettable experiences, every part of the weekend was made brighter because of you.
Tulbagh was alive with joy and connection, and it’s all thanks to you.

Plan your trip, pack your gear, and discover why Tulbagh is a hidden gem for anglers.
