Menu includes a good range of meal options and specials ; The owner and host, Lee, seems dedicated to building variety and quality meals, at affordable prices, while also promoting the town and small industry - hosting the Villiersdorp Country Craft Market (first Sunday of every month).
The Bistro takes its name from the Alwyn Vincent, South Africa's last steam tugboat! A brief history is painted on the wall near the Bistro parking lot, and the tug boat is within sight but still under restoration before being relocated alongside the Bistro.

The Sports Club gates daily fee has become quite pricey (from R110pp) - If you plan on visiting a few times, consider applying for Villiersdorp Tourism membership (R400pa - incl. free access for member and their partner)!
There are alternative access points to the Dam, such as Aphrodisiac Shack (R50pp, by arrangement) which offers a lovely picnic/braai spot near the water.
