    Absolutely great experience! Wonderful well prepared food. Great service. Creme Brulee outstanding. Best pork belly and the lamb shank was to die for! Chef Addo checks on all customers! Well done!

    The good reviews brought me here. My expectations were high....nonetheless the food was exceptional. The chef/owner also made a turn at our table which showed that there was a great desire to please. This place should do very well. atmosphere was pleasant, service was good, bathroom clean and every meal we ate was prepared beautifully. Highly recommended.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten, had the lamb shank with vegetables and divine mash, my partner had tempura prawns and we were both very satisfied. The portions are great, and the service is even better. A must if you’re in clarens and would like to eat out, I’ve been to clarens many times and Addo’s is the best restaurant in town, you won’t be disappointed. The menu is shorter than most restaurants and the prices seem steep, but it is completely worth it, and the items on the menu are probably all equally amazing. Can’t wait for my next visit!

    Excellent!! We had the Chicken Cordon Bleu and Pork Belly, both were delicious. Side dishes of Butternut and Spinach was excellent. Tiramisu and Crème Brûlèe were the best we've ever had. We will most definitely return again.

    Excellent friendly and warm service, succulent food, serene atmosphere all one can ask for for lunch, supper. Really love the food every time I go there. This is my favourite dining spot in the Free State and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Clarens. The menu offers a great variety and suits whatever your taste. As a vegetarian my tastes were catered for. Unlike many other restaurants which struggle to omcater to the tastes of vegetarians, Addos restaurant has vegetarian dishes which a extremely palatable. The selection if beverages is great too and the service is second to none.

    Late afternoon decision to have dinner and it well exceeded expectations. Food was great, service was engaging and friendly and Addo himself is a super pleasant person with an interesting story to tell. Highly recommended.

    The lamb shank and oxtail that my girlfriend and I had was cooked to perfection, falling off the bone. The sauce was a bit safe and boring. The dishes livened up when we added some chillies. The cremè brulee was below par, but still tasty.

    This place is so quaint and cozy which is the general feeling you get from Clarens. The food is tasty and service is speedy. Chef Addo, who previously worked at Clemetines, is an experienced and friendly chef who personally goes to every table and enquires about the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in Clarens.

    The Bacon Carbonara was cold and runny. When I ask that it be rectified, it was popped in the microwave. The chef did not come out himself to apologise. My mom had the sole. Without the thermidore sauce. It was dry and tasteless. And she did not get a discount for not having the sauce. We then ordered the creme brulee to console ourselves. It tasted like baby porridge with burned sugar. The only consolidation was the champagne, which thankfully was not prepared by the chef.

    Don't let the name (fine dining) put you off. Addo is the owner and chef and makes very good, homey food. Set away from the main hustle and bustle is Clarens, the food is as good as it gets in Clarens, reasonably priced and soon to have a great wine selection.
