Welcome to Hitgeheim Country Lodge, where we honour the rich flavours and culinary heritage of South Africa. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Eastern Cape, our lodge offers a family-friendly atmosphere combined with a unique dining experience that showcases the essence of South African cuisine. Join us on a delightful journey as we explore our traditional dishes, featuring mouthwatering braai options and delectable desserts that truly capture the spirit of our culture.

The Essence of Braai: A South African Tradition

At Hitgeheim, we embrace the essence of braai, a time-honoured South African cooking method that brings family and friends together. Our braai menu showcases a selection of delectable dishes, starting with roosterkoek, a delicious bread grilled over open flames. Perfectly charred and fluffy, this savoury delight pairs wonderfully with our signature tomatoe relish, adding a burst of flavour to every bite.

Hearty Sides to Complement Your Meal

No braai is complete without hearty sides. Our krummel pap, a traditional maize porridge, offers a comforting base for your meal. We also serve a refreshing chef salad, featuring fresh local greens and seasonal vegetables. Indulge in the sweetness of roasted butternut, earthy beetroot, and crispy sweetcorn rings. For a truly satisfying experience, don’t miss our tender baby potatoes, roasted to perfection.

Grilled to Perfection: Our Main Attractions

The highlight of our braai menu is undoubtedly the grilled meats. Savour the flavours of our free-range Karoo lamb chops, known for their rich taste and tenderness. Our beef sausage is a crowd favourite, bursting with spices that pay homage to South African heritage. For a unique experience, try our marinated chicken sosatie, skewers that blend sweet and savoury flavours, finished on the grill for a smoky finish.

Sweet Endings: Traditional Desserts

No meal is complete without a sweet treat. At Hitgeheim, we offer a selection of traditional South African desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Choose from a decadent brownie, a delightful koeksister (a syrup-soaked braided doughnut), or a creamy peppermint caramel tart. Each dessert is crafted to provide a taste of home, rounding off your culinary journey perfectly.
