Description
This crag did not make the front cover of Rotpunkt for nothing, one of Boven's best. The clean leaning orange faces host some incredible routes, especially in the 20's. 'Jambo' and 'Bonar' to name just a couple.

Approach
The best access to the Restaurant Crags is to park at Tegwaan Country Getaway (https://www.tegwaan.co.za/). Climbers are permitted to park at the Tegwaan for free (as at Jan 2026). Please respect this kind gesture and be absolutely sure you do nothing to upset the proprietors.
**Drive to Tegwaan:** Driving from the main road of Boven turning to Tranquilitas, turn left after 2,5km into Tegwaan; or from the other direction, 4.5km from the Tranquilitas Camp on your right. Drive straight towards the main houses (close the farm gate behind you) and park by the sign that says "Parking".
**Walking to the Crag:** Walk straight over the dirt track onto a hiking trail past some dams and follow signs for the "Stone Circle Trail". Along the trail, go over a T-junction onto a Y-split about 30m further. Take the left split and follow your nose towards the crags. Close to the little gorge where a small crag called 'The Gym' is found, there is another Y-split in the path. The left trail goes to 'The Gym' and Restaurant/Gaper areas. The right split goes to Triple Tier.
