    A fantastic restaurant and besides a lovely place to spend your evening at. The owners are just adorable and so passionate about their menu you simply have to leave with a smile. We had kingklip and the signature dish, a 300g beef fillet and both dishes were just great. Outstanding quality and an appealing presentation. We even got to taste a lamb chop because we told the owner we loved lamb. Definitely go and eat there. Can't go wrong with this place. Thank you for letting us have a great finish in Knysna.

    We were lucky enough to get a table as booking is usually essential. We had Babotie as starter it was delicious. We then had the fillet steak as main. It was the best tasting melt in your mouth steak I have ever had. Dessert was a magnificent chocolate cake, which I wouldn't normally have. To die for. With a decent bottle of red wine for less than Β£50 Good value, good food, and great host.

    We had a wonderful meal here. Starters and main for two with beers and a bottle of wine for only R500. Exceptional. Hard working staff and personable owner. Only thing that causes it to lose a star was frosty welcome by 'front of house' at door.

    Great little restaurant on Knysna main road. Excellent food. Come hungry, because the portions are big!

    Popular restaurant in Knysna. Vegetarian Delight is highly recommended. Book a table in advance, a couple days if possible, especially for a weekend evening.

    Great place for dinner. Nice hosts and waitrons. Great food and as nearly everbody mentioned: the fillet is great!!! The springrolls and the fish soup is also really good and worth a try. Just go there.

    Nice spot for a quiet dinner. We had the veggie pasta and the oven baked fish, both were lovely. The staff were very friendly, offering to order us with a cab after we'd settled the bill. Great value too.

    A nice place, but disappointing regarding the reviews. The curry was good but even if the lady mentioned that everything was fresh, the prawns were obviously frozen and over cooked. The cheesecake is good but nothing to die for. Very quick in handing you the bill, as if they were in a hurry to see you leave

    The service was great and the meat eaters among us enjoyed the food. The chefs are well equiped to serve quality meat. I don't recommend going here if you are vegetarian. They have two options of which both are mediocre at best. The pasta is plain, there is no sauce and the vegetarian delight are randon small snacks that don't work well flavor wise together.

    Ellen is a superb host. She's very passionate about her food. The food and wine was excellent quality and well priced. We shared a bobotie samosa as a starter. Deeeelish. I had the fish which was superb and hubby had the fillet with pepper mushroom sauce. I'd post a pic but we ate the food before we gave it a thoughtπŸ€©πŸ˜‹πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
