Johannesburg
Bergbron Plaaskombuis serves authentic Afrikaans cooking at rock-bottom prices in a setting right out of the South African Karoo. Modeled after a traditional padstal, or roadside stall, the Plaaskombuis' centerpiece is an ancient iron stove still used for baking bread. For an adventurous Afrikaans breakfast try the skilpadjies – balls of minced liver with a side of fried eggs.
Bergbron Plaaskombuis is located on the grounds of a lovely plant nursery.
