    Whenever I am in Port Alfred, I make a point of eating at this hidden gem! My favourite restaurant in the Eastern Cape. Nick, chef and owner is a natural with flavours, always delivering beautiful plates of food with the freshest ingredients and bags of flavour. Can’t wait to return!

    When visiting Port Alfred, if you love freshly made food with locally sourced ingredients then graze by the river is a must. Nick the owner was an amazing host helping us with our food and making sure we were enjoying ourself. I went 2 times for the monthly wine tasting, which was an incredible experience where he invited experts from the industry whom explained everything about the wines we were tasting. Definitely would recommend!!

    Really enjoyed visiting Graze by the River. Chef introduced his interesting menu with such flair, made our mouths water. We ordered smoked snoek pate, asparagus salad, smoked calamari, cob and mussles. Happy to finish off with best chocolate cake.

    Food was absolutely delicious. There were 12 of us. We all shared a couple of starters first (goats cheese and pecan salad, calamari salad, smoked snoek pate). All were great. I had the seafood massaman curry, which was very flavourful, the chicken panang was also very good, as was the line fish

    Unassuming from the outside but what a little gem in the heart of PA. Owner/chef Nick is a warm and wonderful host and his food and knowledge is top notch.

  • 5/5 James W. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for lunch, and what a gem!! The service was absolutely wonderful, and the food was out of this world good, both in taste and presentation! My wife and I botg had the Asparagus salad and the line fish (cob) and were not dissapointed. A must try while vacationing in the Port Alfred area.

    Graze by the River is an outstanding restaurant in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. The food is of superior quality, super flavourful and unique menu items and generous on the portion size - a phenomenal setting where the owner Nick and his wonderful staff makes you feel at home from the onset ! Just amazing and a must try !

    Great hospitality and food but not cheap. One of not many open until late during winter in Port Alfred. Lots of beautiful gifts to buy in the front shop.

  • 5/5 Anne 6 years ago on Google
    Brilliant food. Unlike anything I've tasted before. Such a bonus getting organic and free range food with gluten free options. I felt spoilt for choice. The passion that goes into the food is almost tangible. The chicken curry was delicious, so was the fish dish. We shared the fig and blue cheese salad as a starter - absolutely DIVINE. Will come here again.

  • 5/5 Sandy van H. 1 year ago on Google
    Petfriendly and most amazing fresh seafood. Fresh Cob in a creamy herb light sauce on sweet potato and pumpkin mash and a starter of fresh Mussels in creamy sauce (very large portions). Great ambiance and Petfriendly setting. Good winelist. Thanks Nick, we will be back. Their full English breakfast and Scones & Homemade Jam are also amazing!!!

    Fantastic place, owner is hands on and very hospitable. Food is freshly prepared, well worth it and a must visit in port alfred

  • 4/5 Premeela P. 2 years ago on Google
    Our meal was out of this world. It's the first time that I've dined out that the food met my every expectation. Their focus was on happy and satisfied customers and they don't concentrate on the number of feet walking in the generate business. They strive to meet their and customer expectations when preparing the meals. Passionate....

    The seafood we had here was so fresh and well prepared. The chef gave us such awesome info on the specials, his passion for his food was clear. It was great sitting in the outside section at the back.
