The Kraal’s ambiance is simple, almost Mediterranean, with old whitewashed stone walls, long wooden tables, and fruit and olive trees. The staff is friendly, and the weekly menu changes are based entirely on seasonal, local, and organic produce. The chef, Garth Bedford, prepares delicious and filling meals that reflect the region’s authentic flavors. Wines are suggested to pair with dishes on the week’s menu.
