Hungry Camel

Restaurant Cafe

👍👍 Great place, good prices and was helped directly by the owner who runs the restaurant. This means we got decent farm style whole tasting food, unlike your regular franchised restaurants, and good service to go with it.. what more could you ask for. People often mention coffee, good, Good, nice, service, owners, friendly, people,

    I absolutely adore this shop! The decor can only be described as Dubai-kitsch meets South African platteland. The owners are really nice and they seem to have a good base of regular customers who frequent the cafe. The food (I had the toast with mince and an egg) was deliciously hearty. The coffee (Peacock brand) was less inspiring. Nevertheless, this is a lovely coffee shop - a quirky little oasis in a desert of generic coffee shops.

    I went to the Hungry Camel in order to have coffee and see a client. This was the second time. There was no one sitting outside when I got there. The first time I ordered a coffee and a juice. When I went to pay the (male) owner told me clearly that he does not want anyone sitting outside, doing business and drinking coffee as that is only for customers eating something. There is no sign indicating this. Then I asked him if one could sit inside and order coffee to which he replied "it is usually full inside" only one table was occupied. (He made it clear I would not be welcome there. The coffee was bitter too. I will not go back there ever again.

    (Translated by Google) Very picturesque and nice place. With tables inside and outside. Attended by its own owners with great kindness. The dishes are prepared with a great presentation and accompanied by the smile of its owner. Very good relation price, quality, attention. A plate of squid with salad can cost around R65. I recommend this place! (Original) Muy pintoresco y agradable lugar. Con mesas adentro y afuera. Atendido por sus propios dueños con gran amabilidad. Los platos son elaborados con una gran presentación y acompañados de la sonrisa de su dueña. Muy buena relación precio, calidad, atención. Un plato de calamares con ensalada puede costar alrededor de R65. Recomiendo este lugar!

    My all-time favourite in George. Hungry Camel is a local place - the 'Oom' and 'Tannie' are always friendly and not only serve the customers themselves, but also make the food using fresh ingredients. The prices are really good. I would say inexpensive and definitively the best value for money that I've found for a day-time cafe. My favourite dish is the Salami and Fetta Croissant (R36 and it's a filling meal for me), but the beef cheese burger and chips (about R54) come a close second on those really hungry days. If you prefer, breakfast is served all day, and they do include options like building your own omelette, which can make it more carb-friendly. Outside are about three tables which allow for smoking. The interior decor is warm and filled with camel dolls, pictures of camels, and generally anything camel-ish while 80's and 90's music gives it almost an American Diner feeling. My lunch dates are almost always at Hungry Camel, and I've never been disappointed with them before.

👍👍 I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
