Die Vaatjie Taphuis Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Die Vaatjie Taphuis in Harbour Centre, Port Owen, presents a hearty and satisfying selection that leans heavily into classic pub-style comfort food with a strong seafood influence. The starters set the tone with indulgent options such as Creamy Mossel Pot, Crumbed mushroom, Oysters large, Deep fried fetta/Crumbed Mushrooms, and Cheesy garlic frita, offering a mix of creamy, crispy, and briny flavours that appeal to shared dining. The main section continues with a straightforward but filling range of Chicken cheese burger, 200g Steak Burger, and Seafood pasta, alongside traditional favourites like Hake and calamari combo and the rich, slow-cooked Eisbein with chips or Salad, which adds a comforting, homestyle touch. For those looking for variety or something more casual, the Basket of Rib/Chicken/Calamarie with Chips provides a generous mixed option that feels designed for sharing or casual indulgence. Overall, the menu reflects a relaxed taphuis atmosphere-unpretentious, portion-focused, and built around familiar flavours that cater to both seafood lovers and fans of classic meat dishes.
