Lily Restaurant - MyPond Hotel - Port Alfred

Lily Restaurant is the dining venue at MyPond Hotel on Van Der Riet Street in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. Set within a hotel beside the Kowie River, the restaurant combines a relaxed riverside setting with a polished approach to food and service. Its position makes it suitable for hotel guests and diners looking for a meal in a calm, nature-connected environment.

The menu takes familiar dishes in a contemporary direction, giving the restaurant a style that is accessible while still allowing room for creative presentation and flavour combinations. Burgers form part of the offering, while the dessert selection includes inventive creations for diners wanting something sweet after a meal. The food is designed to complement the hotel setting rather than follow a highly specialised or narrowly focused cuisine.

Lily Restaurant also operates as part of the hotel’s bar and restaurant facilities, making it a practical choice for a full meal or a more informal drink-led visit. The overall character is shaped by warm hospitality, attentive service and the peaceful surroundings of the Kowie River. The setting brings a sense of ease without taking the focus away from the dining experience.

Regular dining promotions form part of the restaurant’s offering. Weekly specials are promoted, along with a Friday braai day and a Christmas Day dining occasion. These additions give the venue a broader role within Port Alfred’s hospitality scene, with options that can suit a casual end-of-week meal as well as a more occasion-focused visit. Special offerings may be subject to confirmation before a booking.

The restaurant’s location inside MyPond Hotel also makes it convenient for guests staying at the property, while its central Port Alfred address places it within the town’s local accommodation and holiday setting. The combination of classic food with a modern touch, hotel-level service and a river-side backdrop gives Lily Restaurant a balanced dining style that works for relaxed meals, social occasions and visitors seeking a refined restaurant setting without an overly formal character.

Lily Restaurant is located at 33 Van Der Riet Street, Port Alfred, 6170, South Africa. Reservations, menu questions and arrangements for special dining requirements can be directed to the venue by telephone or email before arrival.
