Fodor's Expert Review Vine Restaurant and Pub

In a former trading store dating from 1910, the Vine uses antique sideboards, sepia photos, and country-style wooden furniture to recapture that heady 1800s gold rush–era feeling. The food is straightforward and hearty, like traditional South African bobotie (curried ground beef topped with egg), potjiekos (lamb stew), digger's stew (beef and veggies) served in a digger's gold-prospecting pan, or samp (corn porridge). The pub is a good place to sit outside and watch the world go by.
