Die Ouwerf is an absolute gem in Lichtenburg — warm, welcoming, and full of character. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. It’s the kind of place where the service feels personal, not just polite. The menu is well-priced with generous portions, making it a go-to spot whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed meal or something more hearty. And if you’re ordering a steak (which you definitely should), don’t skip the 'Mamma Sous' — it’s rich, flavourful, and takes the whole dish to the next level. All in all, Die Ouwerf delivers on good food, genuine hospitality, and excellent value. Highly recommended if you’re in town.
