The weather is heating up and we can already feel the December holidays in the air. To celebrate the start of the festive season, Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa has an exciting new addition to their already impressive collection- the new and improved Gastro Bar is set to open on the 1st of December!
Set alongside the Island Cafe, with a sunny deck that boasts a view of the marina, the Gastro Pub is a welcome addition to the hustle and bustle of Thesen Island. Taking the place of the Tapas Bar, the Gastro Pub has all the much-loved favourites, but with few innovative additions – one of which being the scrumptious new menu. The warm and elegant decor of the interior is well accented with the high ceilings and thick stone walls. The vast collection of memorabilia will have any sports fanatic in awe.
In the centre of the room , stands an impressive mahogany bar and an assortment of comfortable armchairs and banquets fill the room- staying in line with the quirky yet classic tone of this luxury Knysna hotel. Large screens make it the ideal location to kickback and enjoy the game!
Some dishes to look out for at this Knysna restaurant are the Ploughman’s Platter, which is offers homemade tin bread, hickory ham, fynbos white cheddar, olive tapanade and hummus, the Mini Pork Sliders, which is three delicious mini rolls topped with BBQ pulled pork with homemade pineapple chutney and coleslaw, and the Ovenbaked Camembert Bread, which is a herb and garlic filled ciabatta baked around a wheel of Camembert. They’re all perfect additions to a round of drinks or a light snack when watching your favourite game.
If you’re looking for a gourmet pub experience with good value, and delicious food in a comfortable surrounding, you’ve come to the right place. Now you can get local and coastal wines by the carafe, a wide selection of craft beers and sample a wide variety of delectable new dishes in the centre of Thesen Island.
The Gastro Pub is open from 11am until late, so whether you’re looking for a tasty pub lunch, or a place to chat until the early hours, this new Turbine addition is the place to be.
