A proper Karoo stop

Everything here was made this morning.

Karoo Plaas is a farm stall and kitchen in the middle of Steynsburg, right beside the Astron Energy garage on Van Riebeeck Street. Since 2014 we have been baking pies, rolling roosterkoek and cutting chips by hand, the way it is done on the farm.

Travellers on the R56 know us as the quick stop with real food, fresh baking and clean restrooms. Locals know us for the weekly specials and the Sunday lunch.

From the kitchen

Made from scratch, every day.

Hot food that is quick enough for a road trip and good enough to come back for.

Homemade pies

Flaky, golden and properly filled. The venison pie has its own fan club, and there is always chicken and a few others in the warmer.

Real Karoo roosterkoek, baked fresh. Have it with a filling, or take a few home for tonight's braai.
