The Food Route

The economic development of Knysna was first driven by precious wood,
then gold and recently, a precious seafood. OYSTERS. Little did we think
that Knysna as result of more and more people traveling to knysna after
Oysters,  would develop into a major source of delectable farm produced
raw products and world class gourmet restaurants. It is after these new
gourmet jewels, that tourists flock towards the Garden Route every day.

* In the centre of town, a warm vibrant deli restaurant and bakery
“Il de Pain”, is run by Liesie and Marcus. Liesie is a gourmet
chef and Marcus blows your senses away with bread and
confectionery of world class. Try a chocolate crousant or a simple
open sandwich, to taste their quality and creativity.
* Still in town, tucked away in Memorial Square, is the “Thai Kitchen”
lurks. This feisty and spicy little bistro awaits the lover of Thai food.
* Everybody’s favourite is situated in the middle of the Knysna
Waterfront. At “34° South”, best quality sea foods are served
right on the water’s edge. After a decade or two in business, this
restaurant still amazes you with freshly made Sushi, the freshness
of the fish on every dish and gorgeous fresh salads on the tables.
Enjoy wines from a frequently voted “Best Wine List” choice of
wines and take your time to find a suitable article for your loved
ones at home, in a well stocked food and gift shop.
* Take a casual drive along the Garden Route to Bramon Wines at the
Keurbooms River turn-off. Enjoy a selection of Meze dishes over
lunch while being seated amongst the bearing vines! Then open some
of the fresh crispy wines from Bramon and enjoy a very special
experience!
* “Cruz Cafe” is situated just West of the Knysna Waterfront, on the
water’s edge. With a brilliant view across the lake, guests can
enjoy drinks from a mouth watering cocktail list and eat fresh
oysters by the dozen. Cruz Cafe caters for every person and its
location is truly tranquil.
