Encore – The Vaal's premier family dining experience!
Encore Restaurant in Three Rivers has established itself as a premier dining destination, renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and exceptional service. Praised for its contemporary and chic setting it is a popular choice for parties, corporate events or casual gatherings.
The bar area is vibrant and comes alive at nights with good vibes and a great atmosphere. The restaurant area is child-friendly with an attached play area for kids to enjoy while the adults are wined and dined in the modern and exuberant dining area.
The food offered is mouth-wateringly tasty but, at the same time, affordable. Encore prides itself on having friendly, knowledgeable and attentive waiters who make the whole experience a pleasurable one. They believe that from the moment someone steps into their doors they become apart of the Encore family, and they make it their mission to ensure they want to keep coming back for another visit.
It's this philosophy that has led to Encore being voted, not once, but twice as the 'Best Family-Friendly Restaurant in South Africa' at the South African Restaurant Awards (SARA). Despite being faced with contenders from Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg, it was Encore from the Vaal that came out on top. Upon receiving their award, owner Kyriakos Ioannides attributed the win to his hardworking staff and team, as well as the continued support of his loyal patrons whom he has catered to for over 30 years. This award is dedicated to them.
Encore was incepted in 2022 with the goal of putting the Vaal back on the map. It started as a place for local residents to visit and has since developed into a venue frequented by people from across the country, featuring new padel courts and a driving range. It has become the home where important memories are made for so many people… an 18th birthday, a baby shower, an engagement, a special wedding anniversary, a job promotion or any other celebration.
Encore and its team firmly believe that nothing brings people together like a hearty meal. This was also recognised at SARA when they were nominated for 'The Best Culinary Experience' category in South Africa. From the diverse food menu to the large drinks menu that offer a variety of drinks including original cocktails exclusive to Encore, the specially curated wine list, beers that remain local favourites, and out-of-this-world extravagant milkshakes – there is something for everyone at Encore.
This restaurant remains one of the best places where you can treat not only yourself, but also your loved ones to a fantastic meal and amazing service after facing the day-to-day challenges that life brings. Encore is exceptionally grateful to all those who voted for them and to those who continue to support them in the strive for excellence. They always await the pleasure of welcoming both familiar and new faces.

BREAKING NEWS Mum and her 10-year-old son allegedly stabbed in horrific road rage attack in Wollongong
A woman will face court today after allegedly stabbing a young mother and her 10-year-old son in a violent roadside altercation in Wollongong. According to police, a 27-year-old woman was driving with her two children, aged 10 and three on West Dapto Road, when they were allegedly forced to stop by another vehicle. The driver of the second car, a 59-year-old woman known to the family, reportedly got out and approached their vehicle, sparking a heated confrontation. The older woman allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed the young mother and her 10-year-old son. Both victims suffered serious stab wounds and were treated on the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being airlifted to hospital. Authorities confirmed that both remain in serious but stable condition. The woman's three-year-old son, who was also in the car, escaped unharmed and is now in the care of a family member. Lake Illawarra Police District officers established a crime scene and launched an immediate investigation. At around 6.30pm police descended on a home in nearby Horsley, where they arrested the 59-year-old suspect. She was taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station and charged with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The accused was refused bail and is set to appear before Wollongong Local Court today. Police are urging anyone with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage related to the incident to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
