Discover Our Two Knysna Restaurants

Everyone knows that nothing says relaxation like a drink in hand and an evening of spectacular cuisine.

The Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa offers two Knysna restaurants for you to enjoy, each with a different feeling and flavour. Our passion for fresh, quality local produce combined with an inventive menu has made the Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa an excellent dining destination popular with hotel guests, locals and holidaymakers.

The 90-seater Island Café boasts an spacious terrace for al fresco dining, an airy, vibrant interior, and a delectable menu for breakfasts, light lunches and gourmet dinners. Tables overlook the canal or are nestled between the original refurbished turbines.

The Gastro Pub is the ideal spot for a magical sundowner complemented by a mouth-watering bite to eat from an imaginitive pub-style menu. Offering something a little different to the the Knysna restaurants on show, at the Gastro Pub you can relax on the deck for cocktails and craft beer overlooking the canal, or enjoy the unique interior of the hotel’s fifth turbine. A massive lifting hook and chains dating from the power plant days certainly makes for an interesting talking point.

REVIEW

Friendly and Accommodating

I honestly cannot highlight any one aspect of our stay. It was just the most wonderful embracing, warm and welcoming experience. Very often when one books the special offers, there are limitations on the menu and what you may order for meals. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE…….ordering a latte after my divine breakfast was a dream for me as a pensioner.
