A Food Lover’s Guide from St. Andrew’s Lodge

One of the greatest pleasures of staying at St. Andrew’s Lodge is how easily you can wander into the heart of the village and discover some of Clarens’ most loved eateries.

Start Your Morning in the Clarens Square

Right in the centre of the village, you will find “The Courtyard Cafe & Bakery”. A firm favourite among locals and visitors alike, this charming café offers freshly baked goods, excellent cappuccinos, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Alongside breakfast and coffee, you will find shelves filled with homemade jams, sauces, and deli treats. It is the perfect stop for a relaxed morning before exploring the art galleries and boutiques nearby.

If you are looking for a cosy hideaway, “Liewer Koffi” offers expertly brewed coffee and a small selection of baked goods. Tucked away yet centrally located, it is ideal for those who enjoy quiet conversation and the simple pleasure of a well made cup of coffee.

A Taste of Something Special
