Major Fraser’s | Proudly Recognised Among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants

We are delighted to announce that we have been recognised among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants – a prestigious accolade that celebrates excellence, passion, and dedication within the hospitality industry.

In reflecting on this achievement, Wendy Alberts, founder of SA’s Top Restaurant Awards, shared these inspiring words:

“Your restaurants are more than just places to eat – they are gateways to connection. They are where first dates begin, anniversaries are celebrated, business deals are made, and families come together. They are places where memories are created and communities are built.”

Wendy reminded recipients that restaurants play a far greater role than simply serving food. They become gathering places, sources of comfort, centres of celebration, and pillars within their communities.

“Winning an award such as SA’s Top Restaurant Award is a testament to your hard work, passion, and dedication to excellence. It is recognition of the countless hours, challenges overcome, and experiences created for your guests.”

She encouraged award recipients to view the recognition not only as an achievement, but as a reflection of the lives they have touched, the teams they have built, and the communities they continue to nurture.

As Wendy so aptly concluded, “May this recognition be a reminder of your incredible achievement and inspire you to keep pushing boundaries, innovating, and sharing your passion with the world.”

We are honoured to be included among South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants and extend our sincere thanks to our loyal customers, dedicated team, and supportive community who have made this recognition possible.

Major Fraser’s on a Saturday just does something to people 🍕🍸

One minute you’re popping in for a quick bite… next thing you’re sharing pizzas around the table, ordering another round of craft beers, settling into hand-crafted cocktails, and cancelling whatever plans you had after this.

Maybe it’s the woodfired pizzas. Maybe it’s the burgers done properly. Maybe it’s the easy laughter, the familiar faces, and that unmistakable small-town Eastern Cape magic — where the donkeys wander past outside and somehow everyone feels like a local by the end of the afternoon.

Good food, good people, no rush, no pretence. Just the kind of warm hospitality Major Fraser’s has become known for.

Winter hasn’t quite arrived, but the chill is definitely setting in 🍷🔥

At Major Fraser’s, our indoor seating offers the perfect escape — a crackling fireplace, exceptional South African wines, and hearty, flavourful dishes to match.

All that’s missing is you!

A Sunday well spent starts with a beautiful lunch.

Our signature calamari salad — fresh, balanced, and effortlessly satisfying — made for lingering a little longer at the table.

Closed for Easter Weekend

Major Fraser’s will be closed from Friday through to Tuesday as our team takes a well-earned pause—time to gather around tables, share good food, and enjoy the long weekend with family and friends.

We’ll be back soon—refreshed, recharged, and ready for all the flavour, warmth, and bustle that a new term brings.

Wishing you a happy Easter 🐣
Travel safely, linger a little longer, and enjoy the weekend.

Big rugby, bigger gees 🍻

The Graeme College Wildeklawer Rugby Festival has arrived in Makhanda, and let’s be honest… watching great rugby is thirsty work.

Lucky for you, Major Fraser’s has the cold ones ready and waiting. Whether you’re celebrating a win, dissecting the ref’s decisions, or just here for the vibe — we’ve got your spot.

Good rugby. Great company. Even better beer.

Come through to Major Fraser’s — we’ll keep it cold for you 😉

Summer clearly didn’t get the memo that it’s supposed to be leaving… and honestly, we’re not mad about it. ☀️

Hot day? We’ve got the perfect excuse to cool down. Our bubble waffles are fluffy, golden and piled high with creamy gelato — the kind of treat that melts the heat (and possibly your self-control).

Pop in, grab a spoon, and let’s make the most of these extra summer days at Lola’s Dessert Bar. 🍦✨

Because if summer is sticking around… dessert should too.
