Plum Tree

Free State


Filled with old knick-knacks and antiques from the times of the Voortrekkers, this artsy coffee shop serves good, old-fashioned Afrikaner food. Expect things like skilpadjes (lamb's liver cocooned in netvet, a membrane that surrounds the kidneys), oxtail pie and delicious bobotie (spiced minced meat baked with an egg topping).
