THE
VENUE
Miller’s
is a charming Karoo hide-away located at the Southern entrance to the
village
of
Prince Albert. The restaurant is nestled on the main road opposite the old mill,
which was declared a national monument in 1963 and restored in 2001 by
the current owner. The setting is completed by glimpses of the
picturesque Swartberg mountain range in the distance.
THE
VIBE
Miller’s
Restaurant is known for its quaint contradictions. The ambience is
rustic, but elegant, the mood is casual, yet lively, and the food
eclectic, but honest.
In
summer the restaurant offers al
fresco dining in a lush garden, as well as on the patio, featuring
the cascading sounds of the village ‘lei water’ as it turns the old
mill’s wheel. In winter the cosy interior offers warm fireplaces,
hearty comfort food and candle-lit hospitality.
THE
FOOD
The
menu is compact, but varied, and features influences from a variety of
world cuisines, including French, Italian, Asian and modern South
African inspirations. Dishes tend to have a classic foundation, with
unconventional, modern twists and a preference for strong flavour
combinations from all over the globe.
The
fare is adapted regularly depending on the weather, the availability of
seasonal produce and the artistic temperament of the chef-owner, Anton
Maartens. Daily or weekly menu changes are often made to accommodate his
latest experiment or the discovery of an unexpected ingredient in a
local garden.
The
menu caters for the faint-hearted, as well as the brave and adventurous.
From time to time the chef enjoys dabbling in molecular gastronomy and
exotic flavour profiles. When visiting the restaurant, do not be
surprised to find yourself the unsuspecting subject of a culinary
experiment involving strawberries and coriander, guava and asparagus, or
chocolate and cauliflower!
THE
WINE
The
wine list is exclusively sourced from Route 62 cellars and features a
selection of the best on offer from our nearest local producers. The
chef is passionate about food and wine pairing and is usually around to
provide some recommendations.

Miller's
Restaurant is launching its brand new Karoo
Koktails from 17th
October 2008!
Karoo
Koktails are a wacky
selection of original summer cocktails featuring local
ingredients, such as Aloe Ferox Juice, Prickly Pear Syrup,
Soetkaroo and Johanna Luttig's "Hop Johanna"
and "Pitte Blits". Each cocktail is chilled to
perfection and they are ideal as refreshingly
cool sundowners.
Some of the drinks are
based on classic cocktails, whilst others are simply the
questionable result of dangerous experimentation late at
night (please note that no tourists or unsuspecting locals were harmed
in the top secret development process).
Miller's Karoo
Koktails are exotic concoctions with names like Meringspoort
Mermaid, Devil's Claw,
Karoo Dawn, Wild
Kango and Tail of 2 Towns. The
recipe for Dis 'n Lekker Ou Jan is still
under development and will therefore be introduced at a later
date.
Each night, for the next
week or two, Miller's Restaurant will be featuring
the different cocktails as a pre-dinner drink at a
reduced price. Thereafter all the drinks will be available as
part of the Miller's Karoo Koktails
menu. |
HIGH
TEA
Traditional
afternoon high tea is served on weekends during peak season and
holidays, to make the most of spectacular view and surrounding garden.
Enjoy savoury goodies, old-fashioned cucumber sandwiches and decadent
cakes with your favourite pot of tea. Ideal after a day trip or for the
not-so-hungry on a hot
Karoo
day. Call beforehand to ensure availability. Reservations are essential.
FUNCTIONS
& SPECIAL EVENTS
Miller’s
is also a popular destination for small functions and private
celebrations. Tailor-made menus are designed upon request for special
occasions. Contact Anton today to arrange your next event.
