Last
Sunday, John took a group of clients on a Peninsula tour. They wanted a light
lunch, so he booked a table at Bertha’s in Simonstown. The Navy was holding its
open day, so there was no parking anywhere in the town. The management at
Bertha’s were most helpful and “made a plan” with the nearby parking attendant,
who let John double park in the small parking lot at the side of the restaurant
and then called him when the trapped car needed to move
The
food was uncomplicated, well prepared and presented and the service friendly
and efficient. Prices are competitive, as you can see on the menu below. A
pleasant surprise was that Bertha’s give a free meal to drivers and guides who
bring clients for meals
