A unique find in Velddrift! This Austrian restaurant is found in Port Owen and despite its fairly small size, offers its patrons dishes of unbelievable taste. The eisbein is widely known and the full 1.2 kg of meat a feat to eat. Try authentic Austrian dishes such as rostie and spetzle. The pub has a big screen TV and sports fans will not be disappointed.
