Owner is very friendly and went out of his way to serve me on Christmas eve when the restaurant was actually closed in order to prepare for a Christmas lunch. The views are spectacular! Will definitely be back and highly recommend all visitors in the area to stop by and support Plek vanni Visarend.

Great place with a great couple that owns the place. Food is very nice and also the prizes. One of the best views over the river. The sun sets there is spectacular. Fishing is also very nice right in front of the Lodge.

The food here was very good! I had the mini seafood platter and everything on the plate was very extremely tasty. Just a headsup the prawns that is covered in amazing sauce has not been shelled so I got quite a suprize when I took a bite of shell. My husband had the "Mr. Pig" pizza and well it was a pizza. Being from out of town the place lacked atmosphere, but this could be because we got them on the wrong night. Very beautiful view of the dam I would recommend eating there.

Possibly the best Filet Steak I have ever had in any Restaurant...#popeyesteak. Awesome views right on the Vaal river at Boemhof. With so many interesting dishes on the menu we will need to return a couple times to try them all....

I really love the food at Plek vanni Visarend. Every time I went there, the food has been good. Also there is a choice of Sushi, which is also very tasty. Don't expect the Sushi order to be fast, since there is only one chef. But the ingredients are always freah and tastefull. It has a good atmosphere but can get busy at time, mostly Sundays when they have buffets running. Great services and friendly staff. Make sure to give Plek vanni Visarend a visit while in Bloemhof, or when looking for some good food !

The only complaint...they did not have 'real' coffee (from beans or ground)...only the type that comes as powder... However, that was completely outweighed by the pros... Awesome, thanks!
