This has been the best meal of 2016 so far. There was plenty of parking, and the setting was quiet and lovely. The food was genuinely organic, and the coffee tasted amazing—though the food was even more impressive. It’s the only restaurant I've found that serves a proper salad and so much more!

This is a genuine organic bistro where you might wait a bit longer than at a fast food restaurant, but you'll be rewarded with the most delicious meals and the best salads in town, among other delights. They also offer a small selection of organic food products for sale. Additionally, the atmosphere is very cozy, even on a windy day. I absolutely love it!

This is the best lunch restaurant in Knysna. Excellent, imaginative salads and the most delicious Bouillabaisse. Small menu changes frequently. <br/ <br/

We also ordered the fish soup, a chicken dish, and a hamburger. The fish soup was exceptional—definitely a 5 out of 5. The hamburger might be one of the best I've ever had, and the chicken dish was also delicious. The coffee was quite good as well. If it hadn't been for the poor service, I would have been inclined to give a rating of 4.5 out of 5. I plan to return and reassess the situation—perhaps we just had an off day. Regardless, it's certainly worth a visit, and I doubt you’ll be disappointed with the food.
