The old Gaol
Restaurant in an old Gaol building on Swellendam
Old Gaol Restaurant specialises in serving traditional South African cuisine, moer koffie and award-winning wines from the country. While the building comes alive with its history, the food will make you a fan for life.
The gaol was built a short while after the Drostdy was completed. It served as a jail for local offenders. Judicial procedures in those days were somewhat primitive. Slaves were frequently tortured
