GEORGE NEWS - La Cucina Rustica is built on a simple philosophy of unpretentious excellence. This is evident and intrinsic in everything this rustic little kitchen has to offer.

In a very unique way the importance of appreciating good food and sharing the experience with family and friends is captured in a relaxed atmosphere, with strong emphasis being placed on the enjoyment of exquisite food and good company.

La Cucina Rustica aims to bring together a family of supporters and friends who will always meet at their favourite local continental café to experience this old-fashioned and unhurried way of life - whether it be for an early morning cup of coffee on their inviting deck, a popular Cucina breakfast, delicious lunch or intimate function.
Ellis and Marianne Franklin bring a wealth of heritage and experience to this little bistro. The Franklin family are also the owners of The Chapman Hotel & Conference Centre and Blackbeards Seafood Restaurant in Port Elizabeth.

Open from 07:00 Monday to Friday and at 08:00 on Saturday, La Cucina offers:
Great coffee;
Value-for-money menu, offering delicious breakfast and lunch dishes;
Fully licensed;
Free Wi-Fi;
Kiddies menu;
Stunning deck with views of the Outeniqua Mountains.

The restaurant may be booked out for private functions in the evening and has previously catered for wine tasting, seafood, curry and set menu evenings as well as end-of-year functions.

Staff functions and home catering are offered, and platters may be pre-ordered and are finely designed according to the client’s requirements.
