A trip to Black mountain wouldn’t be complete without a stop at The Bush Farmhouse. A warm welcome awaits as you enter this eclectic South African restaurant. The food and service are superb. If you are from South Africa its an authentic taste from home, if you are not from South Africa but want to try South African cuisine, you can be confident that you will get authentic South African cuisine at The Bush. We’ve visited this restaurant a few times and every time we leave we can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a great experience.

This restaurant was a random find but it was truly such a pleasant surprise. The food, the cozy atmosphere, the service, everything 10/10. The flavors were so unique and everything felt fresh and light without sacrificing heartiness or flavor. If you’re in Black Mountain and want a cozy, healthy yet delicious meal, this is your spot. Would recommend and will be back!

I am driving through the beautiful town of Black Mountain, North Carolina and wanted a memorable lunch. I followed my nose and my instincts to this amazing restaurant! Kakki, my beautiful server did not lead me astray in recommending the house salad topped with mom‘s salmon patties! The meal was amazing, the atmosphere peaceful and just what I needed today! And the service was the cherry on top. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Until next time, love, Yvette

A South African joint worth trying.

I’m local and was really excited to try this place. The ambience is really nice, it has an awesome vibe. The service was wonderful. The food, however, was not good. The salmon cakes were dry and under seasoned and the portion was tiny for an entree. The vegetable curry was mediocre. I felt like I could make better at home. Super disappointing. And then we got the check and I felt like I was being punked. $75 for lunch for two people and bad food. I’ve talked to others that feel the same way. Might go for drinks and live music but there’s better food elsewhere in town.

Excellent food and service / not a traditional 'boring' fare. Every presentation was just beautiful, and I add that the staff and the owner were a perfect reflection of true Southern hospitality.

South African food in an old farm house. Lovely backyard with ample outdoor seating and a stage for music. The chicken coop is cute for the kiddos!
The food is all done very well. We have come for brunch and dinner now. Highly recommend the bush breakfast platter! Loaded with all your morning cravings:)
The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy working there.

My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant by accident and we couldn’t have been happier. I’m from England and the sausage rolls were amazing. I thought it couldn’t get any better but then my oxtail stew with rice came out! The owner actually sat us and told us the stew was the dish he was most proud of on the menu. I see why!! My husband had a beef pie which he thoroughly enjoyed. It’s been almost a year and I can still taste the melt in your mouth stew. I keep looking for it to come back on the menu but regardless, we’ll be making the 5 hour trip next month for our anniversary. This trip is for the food at this restaurant alone. Easily a 15 out of 10 🤩
