    The ribs are to die for! Scrumptious!! Fantastic vibe. Buzzing and cheerful. Great service from our waiter. He was very friendly and chatty. Told us many stories of foreigners on their vacation here. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Thank you for a wonderful supper.

    Exceptional service and the food was amazing. I had the steak, egg and chips and my brother had the ribs. The ribs were literally falling off the bone, they were cooked to perfection. The steak was ordered Medium Rare, it was more towards the Rare side but was also amazing.

    Great place for a bite to eat and a cocktail. Isaac, our waiter, was fantastic, and told us all about his favourite cocktails and recommended meals to us. All in all, we had a fantastic night. Would visit again. Thanks for a memorable evening.

    Great restaurant and pub. It reminds me of the English pubs in London. We had a great time. The food was delicious, and the Brandy special was an added bonus 😋 ! Will definitely visit Olde's again when we are in Knysna.

    Very friendly staffing, the manager was very helpful, we didn't eat but the beer was ice cold. Nice place

  • 2/5 Julia Z. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, nice interior, the food was tasteless, the meat was overcooked. We went on a rainy day, were seated at the entrance, asked to close the door, were told "the manager is not allowing, as the people will think we're closed", so we were cold. The service was cold as well, slow and not so welcoming.

    Spending a quick overnight in Knysna and walked up from accommodation for dinner. Isaac our waiter was fabulous, service was quick, efficient and steak egg and chips delicious. We sat outside and the area was 40% full mid week. The restaurant has an interesting decoration and feel and there were many groups of friends, foreign visitors and youngsters as patrons. Well done on a comprehensive menue and on the cocktails which seem very popular with 2 tables indoors.

    Made a stop there during loadshedding and they completely surprised us with one of the most tender and tasty pork ribs I have had in quite a while. They will see me again, soon.

  • 3/5 Willem H V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, first time here, not too much of a good impression… as cutlery was dirty and salad leaves on burger had sand on. Overall not bad, we enjoyed our drinks.

  • 5/5 Ryno O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great people, atmosphere and food. The ribs are freakin amazing, falling off the bone and so tasty. The service was great, Isaac was our waiter and he was awesome with the kids, made the experience even better. We will definitely be back.

    We enjoyed supper at this corner restaurant while watching the sunset. The beef karam curry rice was off the charts. Really value for money.

  • 5/5 Jay 2 years ago on Google
    Best meal I've had in Knysna, food here is simple and easy. The service is a little slow and the vanilla milk shake was..not good.. but out of the 4 other restaurants I tried this was the only one where I actually enjoyed my food

  • 2/5 D'nel van den B. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff was very lovely and had a lovely atmosphere. However, food was below par, mostly frozen out-the-box. Burger patties were the same as could be bought from any convenience store, cocktails were very watered down and flavourless, and lattes were 3 quarters foam and minimal coffee.

  • 5/5 Noxolo M. 2 years ago on Google
    They have the best ribs in Knysna ever!!! Best service. Our waiter was so friendly and so patient with us. Our food arrived shortly after we ordered. The restaurant is clean and tidy and they have a great wine list

  • 4/5 Caitlin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Rib burgers! They have Castle Beer and a few others on Tap. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't to busy so service was fast and friendly. The toilets are clean. They played a chilled playlist.

👍👍 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...
