When people talk about Restaurants in Jacobsbaai, one name keeps coming up — Daai Plekkie In Die Weskus. But it’s not just the food that brings guests back time and time again. It’s the feeling. The people. The stories. The calm.
And maybe that’s because this place was born from something real: a moment of peace, a connection to the land, and a whole lot of heart.
“My name is Rikus de Beer. Most people know me as Jonathan from Radio Raps.”
That’s how the story begins.
Years ago, Rikus de Beer (also known as Jonathan from Radio Raps) was booked to perform at a small venue in a little town he’d never heard of — Jacobsbaai. As he drove in, he wound through the quiet hills of the West Coast. And then, suddenly, Jacobsbaai revealed itself — the ocean, the whitewashed houses, the stillness.
He performed at the old Weskusplek that night, but what stuck wasn’t the gig — it was the place. The gevoel. The people. The calm.
“I kept coming back — not for work anymore, but because it gave me peace,” says Rikus.
He eventually bought a piece of land in the town. And then, in December 2023, the opportunity came to buy the restaurant that started it all. That’s when Daai Plekkie in die Weskus was born.
“We didn’t want to lose what made it special — the Weskus charm, the laid-back vibe, the laughter, the stories. But we also wanted to make it our own.”
This isn’t just another stop on the map. It’s a destination for those looking to reconnect — with each other, with nature, with themselves.
Locals know the staff by name. Visitors become regulars by the end of the weekend. There’s a rhythm to the place — unhurried, unfussy, and unmistakably Weskus.
“We came for a weekend and ended up eating here three times. You just don’t want to leave,” – Leandra P., guest from Cape Town.
“Best vibe and best view. The food is generous and the people are even more so.” – Dave N., local from Saldanha.
Ask anyone why they love Daai Plekkie, and you’ll hear more about the atmosfeer than the menu — even though the food is flipping fantastic.
Whether it’s a couple sharing a lazy breakfast, a family celebrating a birthday, or a solo traveler soaking up the view with a moerkoffie in hand — everyone finds their spot here.
And that’s exactly how it was meant to be.
“It’s not just my dream,” says Rikus.
“It’s for everyone who’s ever come here and felt what I felt. A sense of calm. Of belonging.”
Scroll through the reviews and it’s clear: this place leaves a mark.
