This is a restaurant, deli, bakery and gift shop too. They located at Knysna Waterfront on the waters edge. Here you’ll also get to see some seahorses which they keep in a tank. They have a wide variety of dishes catering for all tastebuds and they do serve one of the yummiest breakfasts in town served with their own homemade bread. I’ve also been told they serve delicious oysters!
