Stay Away from Sage and Smoke Restaurant in Magaliesburg.
This restaurant specialises in waffles, bobotie, and roosterkoek. Three of us went for lunch today, 3 October, 2025. Amongst other things, we all ordered bobotie. The bobotie was burnt, and the rice was bitter. Even when it arrives with the tops and sides charred, it looked unappetising. The taste was there, and it could have been good, but it was bitter from being burnt on the top and sides. We also all ordered dessert waffles. Two of the waffles had chocolate sauce on, and it tasted like worcestershire sauce mixed with something brown, with a terrible aftertaste. I can safely say I have never tasted such disgusting chocolate sauce. We asked the waiter to taste, and he pulled a face, but seemed at a loss to know what to do with any of our complaints. Two of the waffles were supposed to have chocolate chunks on top, and there were no chocolate chunks. No explanation was offered, and no discount offered on anything. Do not waste your money at this restaurant. I have no idea how the owner allows such food to leave her kitchen, nor why the chef has not been fired. I paid begrudgingly, but will not return.

Sage & Smoke - Burnt food and disgusting chocolate sauce.
Three of us went to lunch today. We received three burnt boboties... and the rice was bitter. The charred brick of bobotie did not even look appetising. I mentioned this, but nothing was offered or done about it. The waiter seemed not to know what to do. Our dessert waffles had the worst and most disgusting chocolate sauce I have ever tasted. We asked the waiter to taste, and he pulled a face... but did not offer any replacement or solution. Two of the waffles were meant to have chocolate chunks on, but they were missing. On mentioning this, the waiter just went quiet and tried to suggest they had grated it finely... However, I have eaten waffles there before and chocolate chunks were exactly that - chocolate chunks. Again no explanation, no compromise on price, and we left feeling very dissatisfied with the amount of money we spent (over R800) and what we received. My son was visiting from Cape Town, and so I was most disappointed. We are locals, but it is safe to say we will never eat there again. How the owner, who was there in the kitchen, allowed such food to leave the kitchen is a mystery. Why the chef has not yet been fired - a mistake that will cost dearly in the long run.
