The Mediterranean Wine & Grill

Reviewed By martelisel2016 - Welkom, South Africa

Super nice restaurant! Very cozy and elegant. The food is very very nice, but not so expensive. Recently changed to new owners. Friendly staff and the Managers are walking and talking to the people constantly to find out if all is well. Small children can eat with the parents, but there is no play facilities available for children. Very clean bathrooms. Super nice food

Siete's Restaurant

Award winning Steakhouse.

Reviewed By Johan8328 - Welkom, South Africa

We stay in Welkom for the past 25 years and can truly rate the restaurant as the best in Welkom and are highly recommended. The most popular dishes are the baby Kingklip special and herb sirloin steak. The outside dining area is linked with a beautiful garden area. The atmosphere is great and the cubicle Seating gives privacy if required.

Melkkan

Reviewed By brentl291 - Welkom, South Africa

This establishment is unique! It is a 10-15 min drive from welkom. We went there early morning, had some nutella flapjacks and carrot cake, both were very good. Next we did the 5km walking trail, saw a large variety of wild animals incl. Wildebeest, gemsbok, springbok, ostrich, afterwards we sad down for lunch, eisbein with the most amazing stampmielies!!! and a farmburger which was equally tasteful, perhaps a larger varierty of lunch items could be added to the menu. Die Melkkan, has its own personality, the owner is a gem, and the staff are amazing! If you want something different from the daily city venues or you want to experience the farm with a "lekker" twist. This is well worth the visit.
