Relish: Schoon De Companje

Schoon De Companje, previously known as Oude Bank Bakkerij, can only be described as a mini-Europe in our very own dorpie, Stellenbosch. This family-run business oozes atmosphere and provides the ultimate artisanal experience. Schoon De Companje offers an amazing assortment of breakfasts, baked goodies, lunches and dinners.

The European setting and great food make for an unforgettable experience. Not only is it a sit-down restaurant, but they also house their own artisan-ice cream bar, local brews on tap, a wine shop, butchery, organic produce market and a selection of home baked breads and pastries.

What more could one asked for?

My all-time favourite meal is the Creamy Scrambled Egg Breakfast. The creamy scrambled eggs are served on homemade sourdough tost with sundried tomatoes and everyone's favourite - bacon. Accompanying this, of course, has to be a freshly brewed cappuccino! DELISH! They also serve a selection of other hot and cold breakfasts such as homemade granola, fresh fruit salad, french toast, chocolate-banana bread and poached eggs. One can also create their own platter of breads, pesto's, cheeses and dips.

The décor in Schoon De Companje is amazing and the elements of wood provide a rustic feel. The breakfast is served on wooden boards and the coffee is presented in the most exquisite cups. Every element of design fits perfectly together and the overall impression leaves one highly satisfied. Schoon De Companje go beyond expectations in every way - taste-buds, ambience, décor, friendliness and service. They never fail to impress!
