Knysna Restaurants

Bucket is to spade as oysters are to Knysna Restaurants. If you think about dining out in the Knysna region, you automatically think about the delicious bivalve molluscs that are readily available in the area. The Knysna Oyster is bred and harvested in the lagoon, the town has even dedicated an annual festival to this popular crustacean, aptly named 'The Knysna Oyster Festival'. The good news for lovers of the shellfish is that Knysna is synonymous with these treasures of the sea and they are served in most restaurants in the area. For those who have not found a taste for oysters or are not partial to dining on food from the sea, the good news is that the range and selection of cuisine in Knysna is varied and diners are spoiled for choice.

By far the most popular offering on Knysna restaurant menus is seafood, but this is certainly not limited to the prevalent aforementioned mollusc. Fresh linefish, seafood paellas, mussels, crayfish, chowders or simply good ol' English fish and chips are popular choices and are commonly found in plenty of restaurants across the region. Tapas are another firm favourite and for diners looking for a different blend of cuisine, contemporary and fusion fare is also available. From grills to vegetarian, Italian to traditional South African and even Thai cuisine, one will find a pleasure for even the fussiest palate.

Ambience and atmosphere play a major role in the enjoyment of the overall dining experience.

Diners can delight in elegant surroundings and dinner by candlelight or venues overlooking the Knysna Lagoon. There are intimate bistros and a multitude of coffee shops and pubs offering wholesome pub lunches and the locally brewed beer, Mitchell's Brewery.
