Dinner for two

A busy and vibrant restaurant offering high quality fish dishes. The service was first class as was the food served in both courses. Perhaps some of the tastiest fish courses we have enjoyed.

Best seafood in Knysna at a restaurant with a very extensive menu, served by friendly and super efficient staff.

My family and I recently enjoyed a fabulous lunch at 34 degrees South in Knysna. The menu is very extensive and offers something for everyone. My wife and I went for the seafood and we not disappointed. My wife started with Oysters, and followed with Prawns and line fish. My sister had the spicy chicken stir fry, which she said was the best she has tasted. I went for the seafood platter for one - oh wow!!!! Service was super efficient and friendly, in a very relaxed environment- we had a table outside by the water, which was great. Overall the food was fantastic, and I would highly recommend visiting for lunch.

The best restaurant in town!

This is by far the best restaurant in town…well it’s just over the bridge from Thesen Island. We ate at the sister restaurant, Sirocco, previously (it was amazing!) but 34 South was even better! If you’re a fish lover I’d recommend the Kingklip Vierge. The oysters were fresh and delicious - we tried different varieties of the gourmet dressed oysters: ceviche (the best one in my opinion), Asian, sushi and Mexican salsa (which comes with a shot of tequila - not for the faint hearted!) The pasta was fresh and tasty. Lots of other customers were eating sushi (there are loads of mixed platters). The Malva pudding is a South African delicacy - similar to a sponge syrup pudding with ice cream (think sticky toffee pudding) - not overly extravagant but the perfect finish to a wonderful meal.

The wines were fantastic too! Very generous portions, and great varieties - we certainly enjoyed them as much as the food!

The service by Kaedee was exceptional - thank you!

There is a delicatessen attached to the restaurant which means that you can take your wine home whilst also taking some of the delights home for another time! The restaurant also does a take away service.

Spectacular! Best Breakfast.

Everything at 34 South was absolutely spectacular! We visited Knysna for a wedding, we are from Johannesburg and wanted to take the restaurant home. Stopped for breakfast. Food was 5 star, service 5 star and atmosphere 5 star. Highly recommend sitting outside on the Deck. Janine was out of this world and we couldn’t be more thankful for the wonderful experience. We will soon be back.
