"Roosterkoek has made a big comeback recently. De Stomme Jonge has taken this traditional lunch option and added a gourmet twist to it."

Thalia Hamilton

"We also ordered a fourth rooster koek (which is a traditional Afrikaans bread served often with a braai). The bread was fantastic and wonderfully fresh."

Eat Out

"The roosterkoeke themselves are exemplary specimens: full of yeasty flavor without being too heavy. A big thumbs up for roosterkoeke."

Marike Theron

"Roosterkoeke serves as the star of the show at De Stomme Jonge."

Dayle Kavonic

"And not just any roosterkoek – a special gourmet version. Customers can order their dough topped with anything from biltong and cheese to syrup and salted butter and enjoy the filling meal at either an indoor or outdoor table bedecked with a red-and-white chequered cloth."

Kim Emmanuel

“For a very down-to-earth and relaxed lunch stop, try De Stomme Jonge on Ryneveld Street for a taste of South African Roosterkoek."
