Checked out the Braaibar tonight for the first time. This new restaurant is on the main floor whereas Braii House is on the second floor. Not many restaurants in Stratford are open Monday nights so I was thrilled for their hours of operation, quality of...food and Monday deals: $5 pints, $10 for a pound of wings, $15 sandwiches (including burgers) and $10 desserts. Our server Leah was fantastic and gave several suggestions that considered my husband’s like for spice and my whimpy palette. Great spot to include in my dining rotation anytime but especially on a Monday.More

Our first visit to Braii….and it won’t be the last! We were greeted at the top of the stairs by our wonderful server, Jan…who escorted us to our seats at the bar in front of the kitchen…what an experience! While not only enjoying watching the...chefs…we conversed with them…and learned a lot… Excellent food…everything was delicious…and truly unique. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Drinks were artistically crafted with unusual flavours that were unexpected but delicious. Entrees best I’ve had in years. I wanted to lick my plate.

This was our second visit to Braai, and we were as pleased with the restaurant as we were when we first visited it last year. We had a variety of starters and mains, accompanied by a bottle of South African shiraz. I had the duck...again: delicious!More

When looking for a unique place for dinner following an afternoon at the Stratford Theatre, the Braai House venue & menu certainly stood out! A South African-inspired restaurant in Stratford of all places? This we had to try! It’s a popular place with both locals...and visitors, so getting a reservation wasn’t easy. Our play finished at 5:00 pm but the first available reservation by the time we looked several days prior was for 8:30 pm. We took it, figuring that this was worth a three-and-a-half hour wait. And we were not disappointed! Braai House is located up a long flight of stairs on the second floor of a building, over its sister restaurant, The Alley. It’s worth the climb! The seating is comfortable, the atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly and timely. Electro-pop and other kinds of music play in the background not too loudly, at least not to the point where you can’t hear each other talk. All cooking is done on grills & pans over an open wood fire, with a wood-fired oven to one side for making pizzas. Seating is available on bar stools along a counter overlooking the kitchen so you can watch the chefs preparing the food if you like. We opted for the more comfortable seating at a dining table, but could still see the flames and kitchen activities from where we sat. The menu is creatively divided into various sections. Sparks covers the appetizers. Combustion lists the main dishes. Pizzas is self-explanatory. And desserts are listed in the Embers section. Ingredients are primarily sourced locally. We started with an appetizer called Bobotie, which consists of 3 curried beef & pork samosa accompanied by the tastiest chutney we’ve ever had, with a dollop of duck egg custard on top. For mains, my wife opted for the half-rack of smoked ribs with South African BBQ sauce and pistachio dukkah and accompanied by another tasty chutney and a bowl of mashed potatoes with a wonderful crust on top. The meat literally fell of the bones and was incredibly tasty. I went for the duck dish, not something you see every day on a menu. The smoked duck breast was so tender & tasty. Some grilled greens, a crispy, fried dough ball filled with savoury duck confit, and a dab of red peri-peri sauce made up the rest of the plate. It truly was outstanding! A Lekker Lager beer helped wash it down. For dessert, we wanted to try the Koeksister, but they no longer had any. We went for the Malva Pudding instead, but it wasn’t that appealing to us. Kind of a dry muffin with some ice cream. But to each their own! Maybe you’ll like it :) We will definitely be coming back to enjoy this unique place with its unique menu again!More

This was our second year in a row celebrating our anniversary at Braii House. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I walked the 15 or 20 minutes from the B&B. I attached pictures of the front and several inside including of the South African words explained on the walls. - We started with a Bobotie spark, appetizer (pictures after we served some...to each orher is attached), very good; - I had the smoked Duck (picture attached), excellent; - my wife had the Casa Blanca Pizza. (Picture attached ) the slices I had were very good. - a couple glasses of Shiraz went nicely.More

The Braai House had very friendly and prompt service, amazing food and flavors and lovely and ambiance. I look forward to dining there again!!

What an interesting place...inviting atmosphere and excellent food. Will return next time we're in Stratford!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Deserts were exceptional! Lamb dish was very tasty. Ribs were fall off the bone the way I like them and tasty. Samosa app was delicious!

We will go back! Drove an hour to meet up with my brother and his wife. There were quite a few "wow" moments. Appetizers were doubled when each couple ordered the Bobotie. Highly recommend that as a Samosa lover! Pistachio, mustard dip was to die...for! We had the South African bbq'd ribs on a bed of charred kale with a side of mashed potatoes, kimchi and dip. While one order was overdone the other was not. Lamb was ordered by my brother and he, the foodie, was very happy with his choice. Of the three dessert choices we ordered two. They were so delectable that we ordered the third selection. Highly recommend the strawberry dessert. Flavours in that abound! Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.More

Fantastic experience and exceptional food! Anthony, the owner, was charming and friendly and our waitress was just lovely! Our party of 6 included two South Africans and they were pleased to have a little taste of home. We will definitely visit again. Thanks for a...great evening!More
