The waffle 🧇 was perfectly done, not dried out and was perfectly sweetened. The back and brie complemented each other very well on the waffle. The service was friendly and great. The view is fantastic 😍

In clarens, this is the place to be. Even though I have very high standards for cuisine, this place has surpassed them. I have honestly struggled to find a place I like to eat in Clarens, but this place was just WOW! The service is amazing. They were extremely pleasant and skilled, and they set up our table so that we could have a nice view. Would suggest to anyone, at anytime.

Very well decorated with umbrellas in the ceiling and time pieces on the wall. Food was freshly prepared but a bit on the highly priced but very tasty.
Waiters took a long time to take my order due to a misunderstanding.
The Platform is just of the Main Street and can be easily missed. There was live music and lots of seating around.
There is a books store next door with some interesting books. Also a knife shop close by.

Chocolate Brownie Fudge Waffle
Nestled in the picturesque town of Clarens, The platform offers a very nice breakfast experience. The waffles are an absolute delight – fluffy, golden, and paired with luscious toppings that dance on your palate. Their bagels are just as commendable, offering a delightful crunch and freshness that complements any morning. What truly amplifies the dining experience, however, is the mesmerizing view of the towering mountains that surround you, painting a serene backdrop for your meal. And if you're a coffee enthusiast, the latte art on their flat white is not only aesthetically pleasing but also hints at the craftsmanship and attention to detail that this establishment values. All in all, a visit to The Platform is more than just a meal – it's an experience that nourishes both the body and the soul. Highly recommended!

Nice quaint little restaurant. Perfect for dog owners to bring their little ones. Friendly staff greeted us upon arrival for breakfast. Drinks were served fast. The Mahope beer is a must try. We had some waffle variants on the menu in terms of the platform breakfast and the mince and egg one. The burger was also really tasty. Overall great experience.
