Basic Bistro is a cozy restaurant situated in the middle of popular student town Stellenbosch. They offer an impressive selection of items designed to appeal to all tastes, but they take great pride in their gourmet meals, including breakfast and dinner, such as burgers with 180g steak mince patties, delicious pastas, and a variety of continental options. They also serve some of the best coffee in the village, have a wine list that reflects the variety of the surrounding region, and on the softer side, their our mint and lemon infused Rooibos iced tea is always popular.

The indie folk and jazz music sets the atmosphere for this relaxing eatery, while there is fantastic art on the walls and views of the busy Church Street outside. Sitting inside will invite some very attractive smells, be it is the brewing Arabica Beans, fresh bread, or succulent Thai Chicken Strips reading for plating.

Food is prepared with the freshest ingredients by expert chefs, and it's is served by efficient and friendly local waiters. It's a great eatery that's well worth a visit in when in Stellenbosch.
