The Coldstream Restaurant

The Coldstream Restaurant Restaurant in the beautiful and historic town of Graaff-Reinet After Polka closed I worked from home with two trusted chefs.
(617)

All of us went through so many different experiences and emotions when confronted in 2020 with the huge upheaval caused by Covid-19. My experience was to end a chapter in my life which was immensely dear to me - I had to close Polka Restaurant. I will be forever grateful to the Van Jaarsveld family who believed in me and offered me an amazing opportunity to live out my dream. I did not write this chapter alone - so many of you cheered me on and supported me through the 7 years at Polka. Through all the difficult months many of you still ordered food from my home kitchen & bought the Ava&Ellie products at our local Spar. From 2021 till now I was privileged to be part of the exciting inception of OK Express at the new Botha's Garage, while still running my home kitchen. This kitchen has reached its limit and I had to make a huge decision to be able to manage the growing demands of my faithful customers . . . I am so excited to announce that we will start a new chapter at Coldstream Restaurant from the 1st of August 2022!

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY FROM COLDSTREAM

On this icy-cold winter morning, we are taking a moment to celebrate the incredible women who make up our Coldstream family.

To the women who arrive early, work hard, care deeply, give their best even on the toughest days, and always find a way to make someone else’s day a little brighter — we see you, we appreciate you, and we are so grateful for you.

Your kindness, dedication, strength, and care don’t just keep things running — you touch lives. You make our guests feel welcome, you support one another, and you bring something special to Coldstream that cannot be measured.

Behind every coffee served, every table prepared, every smile shared, and every little detail taken care of, there is a woman giving her heart.

So, on this Women’s Day, we celebrate YOU

Strong women. Caring women. Hard-working women. Women who keep going, even when the morning is freezing cold. 🥶

Happy Women’s Day to all our wonderful Coldstream ladies!

May you always know how valued, loved, and appreciated you are.

Daar is min dinge wat so diep in 'n Suid-Afrikaner se hart lê soos 'n regte kaggelvuur. 🔥

Dis daai reuk van hout wat stadig brand, die geknetter wat die stilte vul, en almal wat onbewustelik al hoe nader aan die vuur skuif. Iemand vertel 'n storie wat jy al tien keer gehoor het, iemand anders lag so hard dat die hele vertrek saamlag, en skielik maak die tyd nie meer saak nie.

Nou dat die winter stadig sy tasse pak, besef 'n mens weer hoe kosbaar hierdie eenvoudige oomblikke is. Nie die duur dinge nie... net goeie mense, warm kos, 'n beker koffie of 'n glas wyn, en 'n vuur wat almal bymekaar bring.

In die Karoo leer 'n mens dat warmte nie net van 'n kombers af kom nie – dit kom van mense, geselskap en 'n kaggel wat jou sommer tuis laat voel.

As jy nog een laaste winter-aand by 'n knetterende vuur wil geniet, kom kuier by ons. Ons hou die vuur aan die brand, die koffie warm en die kos met liefde gemaak.

Ons sien uit om nog 'n paar winter-herinneringe saam met julle te maak. ❤️
